General Information
Whisper is sensitive only to ultrasound (40 to 43 kHz) and is unaffected by audible 
noise.
INTERNAL NOISE CONTROL (I.N.C.) allows the use of this instrument in 
extremely noisy environments such as mechanical rooms, around operational 
chillers, etc. Drag your finger upward on the sensitivity touch pad to increase 
sensitivity when experiencing little or no environmental noise. Drag your finger 
downward on the sensitivity touch pad to reduce sensitivity in response to an 
increase in environmental noise. 
Many variables can affect the amount of ultrasound generated by the leakage of 
gas through an orifice. Such factors include the pressure/vacuum relative to the 
surrounding environment, how smooth the edges of the orifice are, the diameter of 
the orifice, Whisper’s distance from the orifice, and the presence of airflow, which 
may dissipate the ultrasound.
As you use Whisper, keep in mind that these factors may affect your ability to 
detect ultrasonic leaks.
