Page 3: General Description
The Wet Roof Pro2 leak detector compliments the Buckleys Dry Roof Pro2 test instrument to provide a complete roof test system for all occasions. The Wet Roof Pro2 has been designed to assist the user to detect the presence and source of leaks on roofing technologies that incorporate insulating membrane overlays. -

Page 6: Controls And Connections
Controls and Connections Generator (Wet Roof Mode) The Wet Roof Pro2 generator unit is housed in a robust waterproof closure with all connections and controls mounted on the front panel. The Generator provides two functions: in addition to the standard generator application, to be used with the matching detector, a wet-sponge test function is included. - Page 7 The Generator output will be live whenever it is turned on. This is current-limited, and the unit will not be damaged if the output is shorted, although the alarm will sound & the screen backlight will turn red to alert you. Pressing the “Menu/Yes”...
- Page 8 Instruction Manual Fig.4 Home screen – current applied Once the trace and ground wires are correctly connected the generator will display the current that it is supplying. If this current is greater than the threshold set in the menu (see above) then the screen backlight will be red, and the alarm signal will sound.
- Page 9 operator to identify and locate faults within each smaller test area, without the confusion that can be caused by many faults over a large area. Fig.6 Home screen – high current You may note that the output voltage varies with the current – this is normal. Ideally the generator current will be below 100mA, this will give an optimum signal for the detector to work efficiently.
- Page 10 Instruction Manual It is also possible that the generator will register a very low, or zero current. Fig.8 Home screen – very low current There are four possible reasons for this: The area being tested actually does not have a fault – obviously good news but beware of false negatives! ...

Page 11: Detector
Detector The Wet Roof Pro2 detector, housed in a waterproof enclosure has been designed to be worn around the operator’s neck thereby leaving both hands free to use the poles to carry out the roof survey. Detector controls and connections are shown Fig. 9. - Page 12 Fig 11. Electrical noise present The word “AUTOZOOM” will also appear at the bottom of the screen. This indicates that the Wet Roof Pro2 Detector is in AutoZoom mode. The default condition is for Linear display scaling, with AutoZoom. Whilst the AutoZoom mode is convenient in most situations, it may be easier to use a fixed magnification.
- Page 13 Placing the pole tips on the waterproof layer to be tested, within the area of the trace wire will, assuming there is a leak to be found cause the direction bar to grow, and the instrument will change range to accommodate this. Use the Up and Down arrows to select a suitable range.
- Page 14 Instruction Manual Fig.13 User Menu The “Frequency” option allows selection of the local mains frequency allowing the instrument to “tune out” mains hum – in much of the world, the frequency is 50Hz however in the Americas, and some of Asia, 60Hz is normal. Some areas, e.g. Japan, use both, and it will be useful to adjust it to obtain the most stable readings in the locality in which the testing is being carried out.

Page 18: Wet Roof Leak Detection Operation Principle
Instruction Manual Wet Roof Leak Detection Operation Principle Imagine standing on a hillside, holding a survey ski-pole in each hand. You could turn around a little on the spot, placing the poles on the ground each time, and even with your eyes closed, you could work out which way the hill sloped by the difference in heights of your two hands. - Page 19 Fig.20 Principle of operation The Wet Roof Pro2 detector unit detects the tiny difference in voltage between the two probes, and this allows the operator to detect and locate the fault, or faults, within the test area.
- Page 20 – a suitable test area may be 5-10 metres square. The negative output of the Wet Roof Pro2 generator is connected to a suitable earthed point of the building substrate. The Wet Roof Generator applies a voltage...

Fig21. Wet Roof Pro2 Generator connections Prior to using the Wet Roof Pro2 for the first time the batteries will need to be installed, once inserted the batteries can remain in the units until charging is required.
- Page 23 Connect the 10m lead (red plug) from the trace wire to the positive output socket of the Wet Roof Pro2 generator unit with the negative output of the generator connected to a good building earth (substrate) point this time using the 10m black 4mm plug to crocodile-clip lead.

Page 24: Surveying
Instruction Manual Connect each survey pole to the detector unit using the respective 1m red and black test leads (stored in a small pocket on the rear of the detector’s protective neck pouch). Surveying When all preparations as detailed above on have been completed, switch both generator and detector units on. - Page 25 Walk along one edge of the test area. The detector indicator will increase as you get closer to a fault and decrease as you move away. At the peak, turn 90 degrees and continue testing. When you reach the new peak, turn 90 degrees once more and continue testing until the exact location of the fault is identified.

Connect the power supply to the charger. Finally, connect the power supply to the mains (100-240V AC 50-60Hz). To change the input plug, push the locking lug below the plug (e.g. using a pen) until the plug can be moved slightly upwards.

- Page 30 Instruction Manual If only one or two rechargeable batteries are inserted into the charger using the two outer charging slots, in the mode ‘CHARGE’ and ‘TEST’ the charging current can be increased up to 1500mA or 1800mA with the ‘CURRENT’ button. In this case the inner charging slots are disabled and cannot be used.
- Page 31 cases, no charging occurs. Please remove the defective batteries and dispose of these in an environmentally friendly manner. During the charging process, the pre-set parameters are displayed as mentioned under point 3 (DISPLAY). In addition, the chosen charging program and the current process (CHARGE or DISCHARGE) are shown.
