Robinair 16455 TruTrack Ultrasonic Leak Detector - Manual (Page 11)

Other Applications
1. Electrical Arcing: A jump in electrical current or ARC makes
a popping, frying, or buzzing noise in the ultrasonic range. The
TruTrack can be used to locate electrical failures that cause a
decline in power quality. Use the detector to test circuit breakers,
buss bars, relays, corrosion in contacts, or poor insulation.
WARNING
Work with care and use common sense
around electrical currents. Use the plastic
wave-guide to help you determine where
currents are located; to prevent personal injury,
keep a safe distance from the electrical currents.
2. Ductwork: Leaking ducts can be a significant source of energy loss.
Use TruTrack to identify the sound of leaking air from a pressurized
duct system.
3. Pneumatics and Hydraulics: Leaks are quite common in
pneumatic systems (controls, hoses, tools, fittings). Listen for the
rushing sound of the leak.
4. Leaks Behind Walls or Under Insulation: This type of leak is
difficult to find by any method; drywall and insulation drastically
reduce the amount of sound present on the opposite side. Although
TruTrack was not designed to find this type of leak, it has been
somewhat successful finding large leaks in these situations.
