The ultimate ultrasonic diagnostic tool

When equipment begins to fail due to an air/gas leak, vibration or electrical discharge, the leakage point emits an ultrasonic sound wave that is above the natural range of human hearing. The leak detector converts ultrasonic sound into a signal that can be used to pinpoint the exact location of the equipment failure and allows the user to see the strength of the leak clearly on the large LCD bar graph and identify the source of the leak by listening to the converted audible sound emitted via the headphones.

When working in unpressurized systems, or the pressure is not sufficient enough to detect or verify a leak with the receiver alone, use the transmitter to generate the ultrasonic signal. In extremely noisy environments where there is strong ultrasonic noise generated by running machinery or equipment, the receiver's filter function can filter out up three main noise frequencies which would otherwise hide the noise of the fail.

Leaks not pressurized? No problem

When a leak is not pressurized sufficiently, or located in a unpressurized system, it is not emitting enough ultrasonic sound for the receiver to detect it. In these circumstances, use the transmitter to emit the ultrasonic sound readable by the receiver. The transmitter is programmed with three signal levels for precise pinpointing of leaks.

The transmitter can be used to find air and water leaks in:

• Automobile windshields and windows
• Fluid and gas tanks
• Building windows, doors or roofs

Find leaks even in noisy environments

In some situations, there might be strong ultrasonic noise generated by running machinery, motion sensors or other equipment. This noise will cause the receiver to read the maximum signal strength on the display regardless of the sensitivity settings and make it unusable for detecting leaks. The filter function was designed for these situations.Simply press the Filter button and the receiver will automatically detect and and filter out up to three main noise frequencies.

Visual and audible leak pinpointing

While scanning a target area with the receiver's microphone sensor, the displayed bar graph will indicate proximity to the source of the leak. Plug the headphones into the receiver to audibly hear the leak and verify its source. For example, air leaks will produce more of a hissing sound while electric discharge manifests in a ticking sound.
