Battery CharGinG LKS1000-V3 is equipped with a Lithium-ion battery. LEAKSHOOTER ® its capacity is about 6 hours of battery life, depending on the settings of the appliance (camera activated or not, screen brightness, etc.). it must be recharged exclusively with the charger provided in the kit (5V DC, 2A) or with an universal Usb 5V DC, 1 or 2A power supply (pC Usb, car adap- ter Usb) or with the spare LKSBATT external Usb battery (optional) allowing more than 15 hours of autonomy.
PrOCeDure FOr FinDinG a leaK By sCanninG teChniQue with COne LKS1000-V3 has been designed to display the fusion of LEAKSHOOTER ® images of the scene being scanned and the detected leak on the screen and in real time continuously (ultrasound received = dynamic target present). Depending on the size of the leak (intensity of ultrasonic waves received around 40 kHz), the dynamic target will be in yellow or red colour.
PrOCeDure FOr searChinG FOr the leaK with the FleXiBle rOD (OPtiOn) When you are working on places where access is difficult or on small connec- tors, fittings, etc., it is more efficient to work with the 400 mm or 1500 mm flexible rod than with the cone.
