WHAT IS A
LEAKSHOOTER®?
LEAKSHOOTER®LKS1000 V3+PRO is a portable detection
device that helps locate, hear, view, measure and record
leaks which emit ultrasounds. It can estimate the leak
ow and the leak cost for each leak.
It has also a special expert program STRAPSHOOTER+®
dedicated to STEAM TRAP condition analysis and an em-
bedded 160x120 pixels thermal imaging camera.
Main industrial applications are:
LCompressed air leak detection
LCompressed process gases leak detection
LVacuum leak detection
LSteam trap or valve condition analysis
LHigh voltage capacitive default detection (corona,
arcing, tracking…)
LTightness checking and seal integrity test (with
ultrasonic emitter)
HOW TO WORK WITH
LEAKSHOOTER®?
LEAKSHOOTER®LKS1000 has been designed to display in
real time the fusion of images of the scene being scanned
and the detected ultrasounds coming from a leak (ultra-
sound received = white or colored dynamic target).
Depending on the leak size (intensity of ultrasonic waves
received around 40 kHz) and on the settled sensitivity
(GAIN), the dynamic target will be big or small (white).
Of course if you want to know the leak severity, please
click on the K function button. The target will then have
a severity color (LEAKSCORE from 0 to 100 is made for a
1 meter distance detection).
LEAKSHOOTER®LKS1000 is equipped with a special MAX
RMS value function which thanks to the target, shows you if
you are close to the leak (simple round target) or in front of
the leak (round target + cross in its center).

SYNERGYS TECHNOLOGIES / LEAKSHOOTER ® / User Guide

The method consists of scanning the scene, conscientiously.
From far to close location. Do not forget to decrease GAIN
slowly to avoid saturation.
Start with the maximum of sensitivity (GAIN=106 dB,
settled when the device is switched ON).
Sweep the scene for example from left to right and from
top to bottom, with the aim of going in front of the leak and
thus activating the special MAX value, which will remain
frozen a few seconds (bold vertical line in the bargraph).
If you still have the white target with cross, everywhere,
Leak &
ultrasound
it is because you are in a saturated zone. Look on the
ground with LEAKSHOOTER®, slightly decrease the GAIN to
be in the green part of the bargraph and scan again in such
a way as to nd a direction in which to go.
Thus, go back to the area to nd this special MAX value
(align RMS real time and MAX). You will see a cross in the
center of the dynamic target. You are in front of the leak.

BATTERY CHARGING
LEAKSHOOTER®LKS1000 V3+PRO have an internal NiMH
(Nickel Metal Hybrid) battery pack technology (6x 1,2V-2600
mAh). To charge this battery pack, please only do it with the
delivered charger DC 12V-1,5A.
Maximum recommended charging time is about 2H30.
Do not leave your device unattended.
Please be careful not to charge several times (connect
- disconnect - connect…) within a few hours. It could
disturb the automatic ending charge detection.
Feeling some heat at the end of the charging process is normal.
Note: If you want to store your LEAKSHOOTER®during
a long time without using it, please charge it to its 100%
capacity before! Then you will be able to use it after seve-
ral months without any problem.
ON/OFF

HOW IT WORKS?
STRAPSHOOTER+® is made for a combination of ultrasonic
and temperature measurements.
From main MENU, click on the STRAPSHOOTER+®keyboard
button :
•Choose between AUTO or REAL TIME modes.
Note: For mechanical ball oat trap, you need to nd
modulation in ultrasounds or sometimes cycles.
For thermodynamic or thermostatic, you will probably nd
cycles. If you have a low level and constant, it is probably a
closed situation and if you have a high level and constant,
it is probably an open leaking situation.
