2. Intended use

The LD 500 is a leak detector for quick and reliable leak detection in/on compressed air systems.

The LD 500 leak detector evaluates the ultrasonic waves generated by the leakage based on distance

and pressure.

It is solely designed and constructed for the intended use described here and may only be used for this

purpose.

The user must verify that the device is suitable for the intended use. The technical data listed in this

datasheet are binding.

Improper handling or operation outside the technical specifications is not permitted. Claims of any

kind for damages arising from improper use are excluded.

Disclaimer:

The parameters that determine the “Estimated Leak Flow” value are pressure, distance, and the ul-

trasound level in dB. Especially the distance is critical and must be parametrized as accurately as pos-

sible. Also, ambient ultrasound in the frequency range of 40 kHz can affect the measurement accu-

racy, including ultrasound of other leaks nearby and leak reflections. Additionally, if the leak’s ultra-

sound is sealed, this influences the measurement and the measuring angle relative to the air stream

of the leak. Thus, it is impossible to guarantee that the measures taken during the assessment period

fully represent your current leakage rate. The “estimated Leak Flow” should help you prioritize com-

pressed air leaks since repairing leaks requires spare parts and labor costs.

Checking the current firmware and firmware updates

Regularly check the manufacturer homepage for a new firmware version. We are continuously devel-

oping the product so you can use the device with the most up-to-date software version including all

available functions.

1. Check the firmware status on the homepage and download it from the following URL:

https://www.cs-instruments.com/de/downloads/software/firmware-leckage-suchgeraete

2. Check firmware of the LD500

Path: Home→Settings →About LD500 →Software Version

3. Unpack the ZIP file

4. Copy the DEV0004 folder to a USB stick

The folder structure must be as follows: (D:)\DEV0004\Update

5. Connect the USB stick to the LD 500 and connect the power supply

6. Perform system update with:

Path: Home →Settings →Device Settings →System

Update

7. Click on the "Check USB Stick for new Software updates" box

8. Available update is shown

9. Execute the "Update selections" function to perform the update

10. Restart the device and update the channels

Configuration of LD 500

Home →Configuration 

In the configuration settings, the unit system can be se-

lected and the required parameters entered to calculate

the leakage costs per year.

➔Select ISO or US unit system

➔To define the costs, call up the text field "Costs/1000

Nm³"

➔Enter working hours per year (compressed air system

is operated actively)

There are 2 variants available to define the costs:

•Standard mode: Cost per 1,000 volume units. The

costs and the currency can be entered directly. Standard

value: €19 / 1,000 m³ or €0.58 / 1,000 cf.

•Expert mode: The electricity costs/kWh as well as the

specific output of the system can be defined here in de-

tail.

The specific output refers to the efficiency of the com-

pressor system. For example, how much electrical en-

ergy (kWh) is required to produce 1 cubic metre of com-

pressed air (m³). Three predefined system values are

created for this, as well as a user-defined input field for

individual entry.

The cost type can also be set in expert mode. The "Electricity costs [70%]" are calculated by the "con-

sumed electrical energy" of the compressed air system, which typically represents 70% of the total

costs. For "Total costs [100%]", the investment and maintenance costs are taken into account, which

are in addition to the electricity costs over the entire service life of the compressors.

5.3.1 Setting the LD 500 parameters

Entering the parameters is necessary for the calculation of the leak flow rate.

The following settings must be made.

➔Sensor type

(manual selection only necessary for sensor types with-

out autotool recognition)

Change the sensor type according to the application and

ambient conditions, see chapter 7.4.

If the auto sensor detection is active, the free selection of

the sensor type is blocked. Prerequisite here is an intelli-

gent mainboard of the LD 500 and an intelligent sensor

(e.g. Acoustic trumpet).

Automatic sensor detection, see chapter 7.4.

Home →Configuration →Parameter Pressure and

distance

Values for the pressure and distance can be freely se-

lected in the two fields with the white coloured back-

ground, provided these are within the valid selection

range.

The pressure can be set variably between 1 –10 bar.

Different distances from the LD 500 to the leakage are defined for the different sensor types to calcu-

late valid leakage loss and costs per year. These distances must be adhered to as accurately as possible,

see chapter 6.4.

Note on the distance setting for the quantification function:

The distances to be maintained for quantifying the leakage always refer to the front of the respective

attachment measured to the leakage.

5.3.2 Setting the LD 500 measurement place

Home →Configuration →Measurement place

The measurement place is stored for each leakage in its

journal data (xml file). This information can be viewed

later in the software leakage report.

The company and building can be recorded upon entering

the building, the place identifies the exact position of the

leakage so it can be easily found again when doing repairs.

➔LeakTag: will automatically increase by one (1) after

storing a measurement.

5.3.3 Importing data from the Leak Reporter software

With the CS Leak Reporter or another LD 500 you can export the database. This can contain the follo-

wing information:

Measuring point:

•Companies

•Buildings

•Places

Error description

•Leckage element

•Action

•Spare part

Before importing into LD 500, you can choose which areas of the database you want to update in LD

500.

Please note that the database (XML file) must be saved in the following directory.

„(D:)\DEV0004\Database\Customers > (XML Database)”

After importing the XML database, you can select which areas of the database will be overwritten or

deleted.

-Companies

-Leckage element

-Spare part

-Action

If you select "Delete unselected elements", the objects of the unselected areas will be deleted.

6. Leakage detection

This chapter describes the best use of the device in practice.

Leakage detection procedure

The following procedure should be performed in the company on a periodic basis to consistently keep

the leakage rate to a minimum. The aim should be a sustainable leakage rate of 5 to 10 % as one-time

detection and elimination does not permanently reduce the leakage rate and new leakages will occur

again afterwards.

Tip:

To determine the ideal time, the use of a volume flow sensor in the main pipe behind the tank is rec-

ommended. At least one week (Monday to Sunday) is recommended as the measurement period. If

an LD510 has been purchased, the flow sensor can be connected to it. During production stops, the

volume flow profile shows the leakage rate. If the threshold value is exceeded, leak detection can be

contracted.

The volume flow measurement can also be used to validate the result of the leak detection and elimi-

nation, as this must reduce the volume flow during stoppages.

Possible causes of leakage:

Generally, leakages can be found at the connection elements in the compressed air system.

•Leaking couplings and hose clamps

•Leaking screw and flange compressors

•Porous/defective hoses

•Porous/defective seals of tools and machines

•Faulty steam traps

•Leaking or incorrectly installed dryer, filter and maintenance units

•etc.
