Original installation and operation manual
8. Overview of sensor types and description of their use
Horn (standard attachment)
The horn bundles incident ultrasonic waves together,
increasing the device's range this way. This makes it ideal
for medium distances. Leaks can be heard across long
distances, but the user needs to get closer to the leak and
always follow the "loudest" point to pinpoint it accurately.
The user must then scan the individual compressed air
components to pinpoint exact locations.
Quantification distance: 1 ... 6 m (3 ... 20 ft)
When to use the horn:
•
Medium distance from line / component of 0.2 ... 6 mm
(0.66 ... 20 ft)
•
Low noise
•
Freely accessible leak
•
Use at distances of up to six meters if there is no
parabolic mirror
Focus tube
The tip of the focus tube only lets very few ultrasonic
waves through in the direction of the ultrasonic
transducer, making it possible to pinpoint leaks very
exactly.
Accordingly, it is recommended to use the focus tube
at short distances in order to accurately pinpoint the
corresponding leak.
Quantification distance: 0 ... 0.2 m (0 ... 0.66 ft)
When to use the focus tube:
•
Short distance from line / component of
0.05 m (0.16 ft)
•
Freely accessible line / component
•
The lines and components being inspected are very
close to each other
•
Use if there is no gooseneck available
