SDL100<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0utilises advanced ultrasonic MEMS technology, integrating a array of 30 ultrasonic microphones to detect even the faintest leak noises, even in environments with high background noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEquipped with a laser distance measurement system and built-in camera, the SDL100 enables operators to visualise leaks directly on its 3.5-inch display, providing real-time identification and contextual imaging of the leak location. Notably, the device can pinpoint and document leaks as small as 0.1 litres per minute at 6 bar from a distance of up to 5 metres \u2014 offering exceptional sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After inputting some basic tariff costs, an immediate calculation of ongoing compressed air loss and its associated cost is immediately available. This delivers actionable insights on site losses from compressed air leaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All critical data, including maintenance details, are digitally recorded directly on the device and can be seamlessly transferred for further analysis. The free reporting software allows for simplified compliance with ISO 50001 requirements, ensuring efficient documentation and audit readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weighing just 698g and featuring ergonomic, user-friendly controls, the SDL100 is designed for optimal portability and ease of use, whether for regular system checks or targeted inspection following data-driven analyses. Its application spans manufacturing, food processing, HVAC, facility maintenance, and any industry committed to operational efficiency and resource conservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
