4. Once the leak is located and repaired, retest with the detector to confirm there is no leak. Notes • There are many factors involved in the ultrasonic leak detection, such as the pressure within the vessel under test, hole shape, hole size, temperature, etc. In some cases, the ultrasonic sound emitted is very weak. Always start by setting the detector’s sensitivity to the highest level at the beginning of the test. • If the detected ultrasonic sound is too intense so that it is impossible to pinpoint the leak because the “ticking tone” is too high, decrease the sensitivity. • As ultrasonic sound attenuates rapidly when it travels over a distance, move the detector as close as possible to the suspected leak. Remember to decrease the sensitivity if necessary. During location, move the probe slowly. Transmitter 1. Turn on the transmitter. If the “POWER” LED does not light, replace the battery. 2. Place the transmitter inside the compartment to be tested, then close the compartment. This ultrasonic sound emitted by the transmitter will pass through any orifice or faulty seal. 3. Scan the outside surface of the compartment with the receiver. The ultrasonic sound escaping from the compartment will be detected. reedinstruments INSTRUMENTS INSTRUMENTS REED Instruments 1-877-849-2127 | info@reedinstruments.com | www.reedinstruments.com...
