Sonic Leak Detector™

WHAT IS THE SONIC LEAK DETECTOR™?

The SONIC LEAK DETECTOR™ is a low-cost instrument that allows the rapid detection of pressurised gases escaping from any form of plant system.

It can be used with the CABIN-SAFE™ or DOOR-SAFE™ transmitter to detect holes in enclosed spaces.

Ultrasonic Leak Detector

The ultrasound ‘noise’ generated from any gas, (compressed air, steam, refrigerant or vacuum, bad bearings and electrical arcing) can be easily detected, ad the leak location rapidly and accurately identified through the headphones.

The SONIC LEAK DETECTOR™ can significantly reduce leak detection times and avoid costly and time-consuming issues in the future.

The SONIC LEAK DETECTOR™ uses an electronic process called ‘heterodyning’ to convert high-frequency leak sounds to a lower range frequency so it is able to be heard by the human ear.

The noise that plays when a leak is detected is a hissing sound when you find the source of your leak. The laser precisely pinpoints the source of the leak.

  1. Check the battery of the SONIC LEAK DETECTOR™ by turning it on. The red laser should work continuously. This means that the battery is fully operational. If the laser flashes this indicates the battery is low and news to be changed.
  1. Plug in the headphones – a hiss should be heard through the headphones and its volume should be adjusted by the volume control.
  1. All of the ambient ultrasonic sound will be heard through the headphones.
  1. Move the SONIC LEAK DETECTOR™ around and you will be able to hone in on any particular hissing or crackling sound. The laser will pinpoint the leak so you can find where your problem is.
