The LD8000 Leak Detector is a state-of-the-art leak detector designed to meet the demands of the professional leak finder. Specifically engineered to locate and pinpoint leaks in water and pressurized pipe systems, the LD8000 listens for vibrations generated by the pressure change of escaping liquids and gasses.

 

Vibration radiation created by the escaping liquid is collected using a geo-phone ground sensor and fed to Digital Wave Filtering Chips in the main unit. These digital noise filters reduce unwanted noises and interference in the locators immediate testing environment and help to highlight the leak cues. Isolating the leak vibration creates the best situation for qualified and accurate leak detection. Detection capabilities are enhanced with six user selectable band pass frequencies --100 Hz, 200 Hz, 300 Hz, 500 Hz, 800 Hz, and 1200 Hz. By restricting vibration cues outside the frequency band the LD8000 is able to help the locate isolated leak vibrations. When used at its lowest frequency range of 100 Hz, the bell curve frequency response of the LD8000 makes it suitable for finding leaks in PVC.

 

Leak vibrations and signal strength are indicated to the user audibly through the noise canceling headphones and visually via the integrated LCD panel. Housed in rugged ABS plastic, the LD8000 receiver is designed to withstand the environmental hardships of daily field use.

 

Each LD8000 unit comes complete with a digital receiver, receiver probe, ground sensor, ground probe rods, noise canceling headphones, charger, spare NI-MH rechargeable batteries, user manual, and rugged aluminum instrument case.
