Leakshooter LKS 1000 ultrasonic leak-detection camera

The Leakshooter LKS 1000 is claimed to be the first camera to detect, measure and photograph air and vacuum leaks. It provides the dual possibility of ultrasonic leak detection with a visible image. This enables users to see, on a large LCD colour screen, the precise location of air and vacuum leaks. Once near a leak, a dynamic target will appear and change in size and colour from yellow to red depending on the severity of the leak. At the bottom of the screen, the continuous measurement of dB RMS and MAX is displayed on a colour bar graph.

Once facing a leak it is then possible to take a picture of the precise leak location. The camera can store up to 1000 pictures in JPEG format. All pictures show date, time, dB level and can be numbered manually. The pictures can be transferred to a PC with the Leakviewer software.

While operating the camera, the possibility to listen to the leak noise with headphones is still possible. The operator is then, for the first time, able to see what he is listening to. The camera detects a leak of 0.1 mm with a 3 bar (300 Kpa) pressure at a distance of 20 m. There is adjustable gain of 50 to 110 dB for use in any kind of surroundings.

There are accessories available for use with the camera, including a probe for identifying noisy bearings, steam traps and solenoid-operated valves.
