21-08-2019 | RS Components | Test & Measurement

The Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager, available from RS Components, can aid your maintenance team to swiftly pinpoint any location of compressed air and vacuum leaks. With the minimum of training, maintenance technicians can start checking for air leaks during their typical maintenance routine – even during peak operation hours.


This industrial imager provides a new way to find issues using sound. It is an intuitive, easy to use tool that can isolate the frequency of leaks or vacuums, even in very noisy production environments. A leak location is discovered by discerning the direction from which a sound begins by the time delays that occur as the sound passes over an array of microphones. A SoundMap is displayed in colour over a visual image enabling for simple visual location. With the full array of microphones, it is easy to investigate a large area and even capture leaks from a distance.
