Introduction
Using technology originally developed for the nuclear power industry, the LD40 has
been modified specifically to pick-up acoustic signals and frequencies commonly
encountered in plumbing, water and sewer applications.
The acoustic signal characteristics of leaks vary considerably from one leak to
another, even when the leaks have similar water pressure and water leak rate. In
some cases, it will be definitely known that there is a leak in a segment of pipe but
there will be no visible indication of the specific area of the leak.
Since leaks have a variety of sounds, it is strongly recommended you
• Practice with the LD40 on known leaks to gain an understanding of how the
unit processes those sounds.
• Do an initial mapping of the search area for a leak-type signal. After initial
detection of a leak signal, use the other frequency bands to find the best signal
with the least interference from environmental background noise.
