Aquaphon A-150 Ground Microphone Kits (Leak Listeners)

The Aquaphon is a first-class water leak detection system. Professional prelocation and the precise pinpointing of leaks is ensured by the A 150 receiver together with the well-established microphone technology from the Aquaphon A200 system, which has proved its worth countless times. Connected via high-end microphones and wireless headphones, this device impresses with its brilliant reproduction quality. The display offers support by visualising the noise for reliable and differentiated evaluation.

Small, light and handy, the receiver wins over customers with its clever, compact design and maximum comfort when carrying. Thanks to adjustable filters and automatic frequency scanning, frequency ranges can be individually adapted to the user's hearing, influences from sound interference minimised and sound quality optimised for reliable evaluation of the leakage situation.

Key Benefits

An extremely compact, lightweight, practical housing complete with belt clip – for convenient, effortless carrying and maximum freedom of movement
High-quality piezo microphones with frequency responses optimised especially for leak detection to cover every application, simple changeover ensured
Automatic frequency scanning and frequency ranges that can be individually adapted to the user's hearing for reduced sound interference and optimum filter selection
Long availability periods– no need for recharging – thanks to high-performance rechargeable battery technology
An illuminated display with an optimised tilt angle and auto-switch display (180° rotation) for easy read-off from the receiver, irrespective of position

The Importance of Listening

Combined with the advantages offered by the graphics of the integral LCD, the human ear remains an important tool for assessing incoming noises. Practice enables noises of different types and tones to be differentiated and actual leak noise to be distinguished from extraneous noise. To assist the operator the AQUAPHON® A150 is supplied with headphones that provide outstanding sound reproduction.

Preliminary Location using the Test Rod

In metallic pipes structure-borne sound is transmitted over particularly long distances. This makes the test rod very effective for preliminary location.

Leak detection within structures can involve working in some tight locations. To carry out this work we provide the small, light, microphone TM200 complete with short probe tip. Also available: Magnet, tripod and compact case.

TM200 Use

Location with the Ground Microphone

Structure-borne sound is not transmitted very well by non-metallic pipe materials.
Taking readings at the valves with the test rod may not lead to satisfactory results. In these cases, by using the ground microphone, the sections between valves should also be checked..

Using the ground microphone at regular intervals enables the leak to be located with sufficient accuracy for confident excavation..
Thee AQUAPHON®® A 500 shows a precise display comparison of the noise levels between locations..

Is the noise getting louder or quieter? What is the trend? The LCD digital and analogue display is of great assistance, especially for beginners or less experienced operators, in answering these questions..

TM200 Use

The Hearing Protection Function

When developing thee AQUAPHON® AA500 an important consideration was providing the operator with protection from accidental exposure to high noise levels. With other instruments an uncomfortable sound level can be heard when the test rod slips from the contact point, or the headphones are activated too soon, or not soon enough, or something falls close to the ground microphone..

A novel technology makes this danger a thing of the past. The incoming noise is constantly analyzed. When a very loud noise is picked up the sound in the headphones is immediately muffled. If the noises increase even further, the headphones finally are switched off completely..

Once this noise source has ceased thee AQUAPHON® AA500 automatically reverts to normal. The hearing-protection function can be adjusted to suit the wearer's comfort in any given environment..

The Filter-Optimization Function

The filter-optimization function of thee AQUAPHON® AA500 allows it to detect a leak even when the sound is very muffled..

The receiver takes a noise sample with the ground microphone. This is automatically analyzed and the instrument automatically sets the optimum frequency range to render the sound of the leak particularly clear..
