9.4 Choosing accessories
In order to make it easier for the user to pinpoint leaks, various attachments were developed for
different measuring conditions.
Note on distance for the quantification function:
The distances that must be maintained for quantifying the leak are always measured from the front
end of the corresponding attachment to the leak.
9.4.1 Horn (standard attachment)
When to use the horn:
• Medium distance from line / component of 0.2 ... 6 mm (0.66 ... 20 ft)
• Low noise
• Freely accessible leak
• Use at distances of up to six meters if there is no parabolic mirror
18 | 28
The horn bundles incident ultrasonic waves together,
increasing the device's range this way. This makes it ideal for
medium distances.
Leaks can be heard across long distances, but the user needs
to get closer to the leak and always follow the "loudest"
point to pinpoint it accurately. The user must then scan the
individual compressed air components to pinpoint exact
locations.
Quantification function (distance) -> 1 ... 6 m (3 ... 20 ft)
