S30 System
The S30 System is a leak noise amplification system that can be used to listen at various contact points (valves, hydrants, etc.) to determine whether a pipe is leaking. The S30 sensor is placed at a contact point in the distribution system, and when the S30 is turned on, the console amplifies the sound so that the user can hear the noise through aviator-quality headphones. The analog meter on the console indicates the noise intensity in the pipe. By listening at several points in the tested area, an operator can identify the general location of the leak.
The S30 System can also be used as a ground microphone. The user can place the sensor above the pipe by attaching the surface ground plate to the sensor. The S30 can then locate the spot where the noise is the loudest and can pinpoint the leak’s location.
