For quick detection and quantification of small SF6 leaks
The cordless battery-operated LeakSpySF6 precisely measures SF6 concentrations in air by means of a non-dispersive infrared sensor (NDIR sensor) and indicates the value on a graphic display in ppmv. The device allows precise localisation of leaks by searching the highest SF6 concentration. Thanks to the high accuracy and the low detection limit it is possible to carry out integral measurements as well as measurements for determination of leak rates.
To protect the device from particles the sensor is equipped with a filter which can be cleaned and/or exchanged easily by the operator. In case there is SF6 contamination already existing, the LeakSpy can be adjusted to this value. Thus, it is possible to detect leaks even in already contaminated areas. The SF6 concentration is indicated in ppmv as well as by an audible signal.
