Locate pipeline leaks acoustically
The LD-8 is designed as a rod-based acoustic listening device for water leaks at hydrants, meters, and valves. A metal contact rod is attached to the base of the amplifier which transmits any leak noises received into the headphones worn by the operator. The louder the sound, the closer the listening point is to the leak location.
The LD-8 leak detector is easy to use.
The LD-8 amplifier has a digital screen that displays a two-digit loudness reading so you can tell when you are closing in on the leak. The device has a push button ON/OFF switch, volume control and three-range sensitivity switch.
Cancel unwanted noise with the LD-8 notch filters
The LD-8 amplifier has notch filters reduce the hum from transformers, power lines, and other background noises allowing you to concentrate only on the sound of leaks.
Included in the LD-8 Water Leak Detector Kit:
- Amplifier (55 dB)
- Stereo Headphones
- AA Batteries
- 4-inch short contact rod
- 52-inch rod in 4 segments with threaded connections
