5 Intended use The LD 500 is a leak detector for quick and reliable leak detection in/on compressed air systems. The LD500 leak detector evaluates the ultrasonic waves generated by the leakage based on distance and pressure.
Technical data 6 Technical data LD500 263 x 96 x 280 mm (incl. PreAmp module and acoustic trumpet) Dimension 0,55 kg incl. PreAmp module and acoustic trumpet , Weight complete set with transportation case ca.3,5 kg Frequency range 40kHz (+/- 2kHz) Power supply Internal 7.4 V lithium-ion battery Operating time...
Device components and controls 9 Overview and application description of the different sensor types Acoustic trumpet (standard tool) Straightening tube The straightening tube permits only very few ultrasonic The acoustic trumpet bundles incident ultrasonic waves to pass in the direction of the ultrasonic transducer, waves, thereby extending the range of the device.
Device components and controls Assembly with acoustic trumpet The acoustic trumpet allows acoustic amplification by bundling the sound waves and specifies the location of the leak. Due to the special construction of the integrated laser pointer is still usable. The camera is integrated on the bottom of the acoustic trumpet and is electrically connected to the preamplifier module via the jack plug.
Note: To use the parabolic mirror and gooseneck, these components must be activated in the LD 500 during initial commissioning in order to save the component-specific adjustment parameters. If this has not already been done ex-works, the data for this is supplied via USB stick. For the activation (parameter import), see chapter 11 Operation here in Sub chapter "Export / Import".“.

Operation ➔ ➔ Home Configuration Meas.Point The measuring point is stored for each leakage in its journal data. These can be seen later in the leakage report in the software. ➔ LeakTag: will be automatically increased by one after storing a measurement. All information about the measuring point can be changed by selecting the corresponding text field or the stored measuring points can be loaded from the internal database.
Operation 11.3.1.2 Storing of the measurement To store the measurements please press either the button „Store“ on the foil keypad, see chapter Device components and controls , or by button „Store“ in the display. All data are stored on to the internal SD card. The measurement data, the measurement point and the image of the measurement point are saved as a journal, which can be exported later and a report can be created with the CS Leak Reporter (order no.: 0554 0105).

These functions allow the stored measuring point descriptions (companies, buildings and location) to be exported as an XML file or to be imported from another LD 500 exported database. That means it is also possible to create and import the database externally, but the prerequisite is the correct format of the XML file.
