1. Safety instructions
Please check if this instruction manual accords to the
product type.
Please observe all notes and instructions indicated in this
manual. It contains essential information which have to be
observed before and during installation, operation and
maintenance. Therefore this instruction manual has to be read carefully
by the technician as well as by the responsible user or qualified
personnel.
This instruction manual has to be available at the operation site of the
leak detector at any time. In case of any obscurities or questions,
regarding this manual or the product, please contact the manufacturer.
WA NING!
Compressed air!
Any contact with quickly escaping air or bursting
parts of the compressed air system can lead to
serious injuries or even death!
•Avoid that persons get hit escaping air or bursting parts of the
system.
WA NING!
Laser pointer!
Do not point into the eyes with the laser. This can
lead to serious injuries particularly on lens and
retina or even blindness!
•Never look directly at the laser
•Never point the laser at persons.
•Never point the laser at smooth and reflective surfaces. This can
lead to a reflection of the laser.
WA NING!
Voltage used for supply!
Any contact with energized parts of the product, may
lead to a electrical shock which can lead to serious
injuries or even death!

2. Application
2. Application
The S 530 is a leak detector for pneumatic systems. When gases are
leaking through tubes and tanks an ultrasonic sound is produced which
can be detected by S 530 even from a distance of several meters.
The S 530 transforms these inaudible signals into a frequency which can
be easily heard by using the supplied noise-isolating headset. In
unpressurised systems an ultrasonic tone generator can be used whose
sound will leak through small openings.
The integrated laser pointer helps to spot the leak from a distance.
The S 530 leak detector is not developed to be used in explosive areas.
For the use in explosive areas please contact the manufacturer.
The S 530 leak detector is mainly used in compressed air systems in
industrial environment.
3. Features
•Leak detection in compressed air, refrigerants, and any gases.
•Insulation test of doors and windows.
•Detection of partial electrical discharges causing damages on
insulations.
•Applicable to noisy environments.
•Included laser pointer helps to locate the leak.
•Included display, showing the level of the leak.

•The sensor unit can be unplugged from the main instrument by
pulling the unit out of the holder. A separate coiled extension cable
is used to connect the sensor to the main unit. For this have a look
at the picture above.

6. Operating
6.1 Operating Principle
Air leaks produce wide-band ultrasounds in the range of 20 ... 80 kHz.
The higher the frequency the more energy it contains. But higher
frequencies can not be transported in air that far. That is why the leak
detector operates at a centre frequency of 40 kHz which compromises
an optimum between energy and distance. Frequencies below and
above are cut in order to minimize the noise level.

6.2 Operating Procedure
The following steps explain the procedure of an appropriate use.
1. Press the Power button.
2. The Display of the S 530 look
like the picture on the left side.
•The laser pointer is off.
•the Display will show you:
◦the battery level.
◦the segments green till
red.
•ser can change the
sensitivity with the wheel .

6. Operating
4. Point with the laser at an
assumed leak. The display will
show the level of the leak.
5. To find the exact location of
the leak screw the focus tube
and the focus tip on the sensor.
6. Scan with the focus tip the
roughly location till the exact
location is found.
7. For difficult attainable location
you can use the separate coiled
extension cable.
6.3 Electrical connection
Either the headphone or the charger can be connected to S 530 at a
time.
emark
If the instrument has not been used for more than 2 months, the
battery might be over discharged. Connect the battery charger and wait
about 2-3 minutes until the display can show you the actual battery
status.

. Optional extra accessories
7. Optional extra accessories
7.1 Ultrasonic tone generator
The ltrasonic tone generator is an
optional extra accessory for the S
530. It generate an ultrasonic tone
which can be detected by the S
530. Thats why a leak detection in
a system without overpressure is
possible.
Specification
•Frequency: 40 kHz ± 10%
•Automatically shut-down after
10 min ± 20%
•Power supply internal: E-Block
6LR61 9 V
For example Leak test at a tank:
If an S tone generator is inside of
a tank the ultrasonic which is
produced by the generator can flow
through leaks and detected by the
S 530.
