Improper handling or use of force cancels all warranty claims. Operating principle LS 100 ultrasonic leak detector allows maintenance personnel to confirm a diagnosis on the spot by being able to clearly discriminate among various equipment sounds. This is accomplished by an electronic process called 'heterodyning' that accurately converts the ultrasounds sensed by the instrument into the audible range where users can hear the audible signal through a headphone.

Air leaks produce wide-band ultrasounds in the range of 20 ... 80 kHz. The higher the frequency the more energy it contains. But higher frequencies can't be transported in air that far. That's why LS 100 operates at a centre frequency of 40 kHz which compromises an optimum between energy and distance.

The sensor unit can be unplugged from the main instrument by pulling the unit out of the holder. A separate coiled extension cable is used to connect the sensor to the main unit.

In addition, as slight changes begin to occur in mechanical equipment, the directional nature of ultrasound allows these potential warning signals to be detected in time, before actual failure occurs. Typical applications of LS 100 are compressed air leak detection, vacuum leak detection, steam trap inspection and detection of arcing, tracking and corona in electrical equipment.

For detection of these small holes in compressed air LS 100 is designed. You can point with the LS 100 to the pipe or to the component of interest. The integrated laser pointer will assist you in case of a measurement from a distance.

This is also the case if the serial number has been changed, damaged or removed. The warranty time for the LS 100 is 12 months for the instrument, 6 months for accessory parts. Warranty services do not extend the warranty time.
