User Manual
Do not open the device. Maintenance is not required.
To prevent damage to the battery it should not be charged at temperatures above
40 °C.
The WABCO Leakage Detector and accessories are shown above. The references
in the text below refer to these illustrations.
Gases escaping from a leak produce turbulent flows and thus sound waves. In the
case of small leaks, these sound waves are inaudible to the human ear.
The WABCO Leakage Detector (1) makes these ultrasonic sound waves audible
and visible by means of a light bar. The probe (2) is flexible so that hidden areas
can also be accessed and checked at a short distance. With headphones (3) the
device can also be used in places with loud ambient noise.
Only use the WABCO Leakage Detector in ambient temperatures between -10 °C
and +60 °C.
– Connect the probe with the WABCO Leakage Detector by means of the cable
(5).
Hearing damage caused by sudden loud noises
– Always start with a low volume and only use a higher volume setting if you have
checked the system at a low volume first.
– Turn the volume controller (G) anticlockwise to a low to medium volume.
– Actuate the button (A) to switch on the WABCO Leakage Detector.
The green indicator (B) lights up when the device is ready for operation.
If there is no reaction or the indicator (B) flashes, the internal battery needs
to be charged.
– If there is a high level of ambient noise, connect the headphones (2) to the
socket (J) on the detector and put on the headphones.
– You also have the option to use the use the carrying strap (6) to hang the
WABCO Leakage Detector round your neck and so to prevent it from falling
down.
– Check the pneumatic system by guiding the probe (4) along the pneumatic sys-
tem at a short distance.
Pay attention to any sounds or signals on the light bar.
– If a signal is detected, localise the leak by moving the probe towards the pre-
sumed leak position from different directions.
An increase in volume or a stronger signal on the light bar indicates you are
getting closer to the leak's position.
– Repeat the process with a more sensitive setting of the WABCO Leakage De-
tector if necessary.
Turn the volume controller clockwise to a higher value for this purpose.
This will also intensify the light bar indication.
