New Mini Leak Locator for Quick Outdoor Leak Surveys and Indoor Leak Detection

SebaKMT has launched the HL 50, a mini leak locator of high accuracy and great technological simplicity. The HL 50 weighs only 400 grams and can be used outdoors on water pipe networks or inside buildings to examine house service connections. It can detect ground-borne noise (the top sound) and structure-borne vibrations (the body sound), and is capable of detecting leaks at remote contact points even when the sound is muffled or the ambient noise level high.

Three frequency settings (Hi, Lo, and All) shut down unwanted noises and interferences in the locator’s immediate environment, allowing only the leak noise to reach the operator’s ears.

Equipped with a sensitive acoustic sensor, frequency filter, and high-end headphones, the mini leak locator picks up the vibrations generated by the friction of the water escaping the pipe, transforms them into a distinctive audible sound, and displays the noise level as both a two-digit value and a bar graph. Moreover, the HL 50 also stores and displays the leak noise intensity at the previous measurement point, which makes it even easier to see the change in noise level from one measuring point to another - the higher the numerical or analogue value on the display, the closer the leak.   

Various interfaces allow easy connection of additional accessories, which enhances the instrument’s leak detection capabilities: high-end ground microphones for full-professional leak pinpointing, a listening rod for weak soil conditions, and different probe tips, probe extensions, and a tripod to adapt to conditions on site.

The HL 50 is not only a good solution for quick valve-spindle or above-the-ground leak surveys, but also an ideal tool for indoor leak detection, where the operating space is narrow and the ambient light low. Its small size combined with wireless headphones ensures maximum mobility in confined space, while the backlit display offers perfect readability even under poor light conditions.

But what is technological advance without operational simplicity? The HL 50 is so easy to operate that even users with a minimum amount of training can get quality results in only a few minutes. The mini leak locator is equipped with SebaKMT’s easyGo® guidance system, which suggests the next logical operation step and takes the user through the entire operation. The user interface is extremely simple and intuitive: with only two thumb-operated buttons, the user can access filter settings, start the measurement, stop it, or 'mute' it. Simple, isn’t it?

But not only. Equipped with two AA batteries and advanced power management technology, the HL 50 is also designed for long performance: 50 hours of continuous operation ensure that the mini leak locator is always ready to use.

Quick in- and outdoors leak surveys do not have to be complicated or costly. All you need is a smart and affordable tool. We’ve got it - for you.
