  • Page 4: Intended Use

    EN - English 2. Intended use The LD 500 is a leak detector for quick and reliable leak detection in/on compressed air systems. The LD 500 leak detector evaluates the ultrasonic waves generated by the leakage based on distance and pressure. It is solely designed and constructed for the intended use described here and may only be used for this purpose.

  • Page 8 EN - English 5.3.1 Setting the LD 500 parameters Entering the parameters is necessary for the calculation of the leak flow rate. The following settings must be made. ➔ Sensor type (manual selection only necessary for sensor types with- out autotool recognition) Change the sensor type according to the application and ambient conditions, see chapter 7.4.
  • Page 9 EN - English 5.3.2 Setting the LD 500 measurement place Home → Configuration → Measurement place The measurement place is stored for each leakage in its journal data (xml file). This information can be viewed later in the software leakage report. The company and building can be recorded upon entering the building, the place identifies the exact position of the leakage so it can be easily found again when doing repairs.

  • Page 10: Leakage Detection

    EN - English 6. Leakage detection This chapter describes the best use of the device in practice. Leakage detection procedure The following procedure should be performed in the company on a periodic basis to consistently keep the leakage rate to a minimum. The aim should be a sustainable leakage rate of 5 to 10 % as one-time detection and elimination does not permanently reduce the leakage rate and new leakages will occur again afterwards.

  • Page 12 EN - English The new UltraCam has a digital data interface to the LD 500 LD 510. That the LD 500 / LD 510 can communicate with the UltraCam, the following prerequisites must be met: - The main board must be "HW-Stand 2.0" to enable communication between the main body of the LD 500 and the tool.
  • Page 13 EN - English and the camera image, even in noisy environments. Optical leak detection: The UltraCam uses 30 digital mems, a camera, an FPGA and a processor to calculate the ult- rasound map. The algorithm used is called beamforming and is based on the delay and sum function.

  • Page 16: Description Of Functionality

    EN - English Intelligent illumination: manual 6.4.2 Automatic Distance measurement The integrated distance measurement module is available with the UltraCam and optional with the Acoustic Trumpet. The following requirements must be met to use the functionalities: • The Main Board must be "intelligent" to enable the communication between the main body of the LD 500 and the tool.
  • Page 17 EN - English Note: For the trumpet, the valid distance range is 1 – 6 meters or 40" – 236". 4. The LD 500 will actualize the distance automatically now. The actual measured distance is shown in the grey bar “Dist:”. The used distance for the cost quantification is shown in the small bar below next to the pressure's left side.
  • Page 18 EN - English States Best – case: Used distance parameter internally: “Dist:” is green, the distance module's measurement is robust, and the used distance is within the valid range.

  • Page 19 EN - English 6.4.3 Acoustic trumpet (standard attachment) The acoustic trumpet bundles incident ultrasonic waves, thereby extending the range of the device. This behaviour makes it ideal for medium distances. The leakage can be heard from large distances, for precise de- tection, the user must approach the leakage and consistently follow the "loudest"...
  • Page 20 EN - English The sensitivity of the gooseneck has been reduced to dampen noise. This makes it ideal for targeted, local testing of compressed air components at high noise levels, for example in systems using pneu- matic cylinders and in compressed air distribution cabinets.

  • Page 22 EN - English 6.5.4 Procedure for leakage detection Different approaches to leakage detection are recommended depending on the ambient condi- tions. Option 1 – In what direction can the leakage be heard? This method is used to aim in all directions and find the loudest point.
  • Page 23 EN - English Other problems that can make measuring more difficult There may be further problems in leakage detection, these are de- scribed in the following sub-chapter. To reduce any problems, we generally recommend to use the correct attachment, as outlined in chapter 6.4 Selection of accessories, and to reduce the sensitivity.
  • Page 24 EN - English Documenting the leakage If the leakage has been found, the pressure and distance to the leakage adjusted and the leakage de- scribed, it can be "captured" with the "Save" button. Afterwards it is possible to check the parameters (pressure and distance) and to precisely define the measurement place with company, building and loca- tion.
  • Page 25 EN - English Exporting journal data Once all leakages have been documented, the data must then be exported to a USB stick. Here, the user has the option of selecting the start and end time of the exported leakages. Attention: If the «DELETE leakage data» function is acti- vated, ALL leakages in the memory will be irretrievably deleted.
