16455 TruTrack Ultrasonic Leak Detector

Overview

TIPS ON USE

1. If you are trying to find a leak in a confined area, use the flex tube

insert located in the nose of the instrument. You can use any length

of tubing (it is a standard 1/4''), but remember that the sensitivity

reduces as the tube gets longer.

2. When preparing to test for leaks, pressurize the system as much as

safely possible. Increasing the pressure can double the flow

through a hole or crack, making leak detection easier.

3. If the system permits it, spray distilled water on the suspect area.

Before the water runs off, scan the area. Water sprayed on a

pressurized leak can also increase the amount of sound created.

4. When searching for vacuum leaks, remember that the majority of

the sound created by the leak is internal. If the system seals permit,

you may need to pressurize the system with dry nitrogen in order

to increase the sound of the leak.
