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.
WARNING!
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.
WARNING!
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.
WARNING!
Voltage used for supply!
Any contact with energized parts of the product, may

4 Application
4 Application
The S530 is an ltrasonic Leak Detector for pneumatic systems. When
gases are leaking through tubes and tanks an ultrasonic sound is
produced which can be detected by S530 even from a distance of
several meters.
The S530 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 S530 leak detector is not developed to be used in explosive areas.
For the use in explosive areas please contact the manufacturer.
The S530 is mainly used in compressed air systems in industrial
environment.
5 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

8. 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.
8.2 Operating Procedure
The following steps explain the procedure of an appropriate use.
1. Press the Power button.
2. The Display of the S530 look
like the picture on the left side.
•The laser pointer is off.
•the Display will show you:
◦The battery level.
◦Green to red indicates
the intensity of the
sound heard by the
headset.
•ser can change the
sensitivity with the wheel.
When a leak occurs, the
greater the sensitivity, the
greater the sound heard
from the headset.

3. To activate the laser, please
press the button which is shown
on the left side.
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
rough location till the exact
location is found.
8.3 Electrical connection
Either the headphone or the charger can be connected to S530 at a
time.
Remark：
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.

9. Ultrasonic tone generator
The ltrasonic tone generator is an
optional extra accessory for the
S530. It generate an ultrasonic
tone which can be detected by the
S530. 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
S530.
