VPE-GN Basic Kit by Superior AccuTrak

The Patented Superior AccuTrak® VPE-GN "Gooseneck" represents state-of-the-art technology for pinpointing leaks in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The new 9½" flexible Gooseneck provides better detection in hard-to-reach places, and is great for automotive applications too. AccuTrak® is extremely sensitive to the ultrasonic sound of a turbulent gas leak. Using the latest "heterodyning" technology it translates the sound to a lower frequency which your ear can interpret. The VPE-GN maintains the original sound characteristics making it possible to distinguish leaks from other competing background sounds. AccuTrak® is so sensitive you can actually hear the blink of an eye, yet most background noise will not interfere with detection accuracy. Like all Superior AccuTrak® instruments, the VPE-GN easily detects leaks of ANY gas or refrigerant, compressed air, and even vacuum leaks.

The AccuTrak® VPE-GN Pro-Plus Kit is our most comprehensive VPE-GN Kit, for the serious technician who needs the maximum capability from an ultrasonic instrument with a GooseNeck. The VPE-GN Pro-Plus Kit includes the upgraded professional Noise Cancelling Headphones PLUS the powerful Burst Tone Sound Generator, in the larger case to keep everything together. The VPE-GN Pro-Plus Kit offers unrivaled functionality and versatility for a fraction of the cost of any competitive system with similar performance. Find any kind of leak, in any environment, find bad gaskets and door seals – and do it all well, in hard-to-reach places you can’t even see! If you do a variety of work, and need a cost effective professional kit that can do it all, the Superior AccuTrak® VPE-GN Pro-Plus Kit is for you.

  • Bearing Wear: Hear wear and lubrication problems before damage is done!

Features:

  • Gooseneck Configuration: allows operator to get accurate readings in hard to reach places.
  • Audio Output: 0 Hz to 4 kHz Natural Sound conversion allows you to Hear the Leak, and distinguish leaks from mechanical or other background ultrasound.
  • Visual Output: 10 element bar graph provides quick and intuitive visual indication to presence of and relative strength of ultrasound.
  • Adjustable Sensitivity: allows operator to quickly identify leaks from a distance, and then zero in on the exact location of the leak.

Capabilities:

  • Capable of detecting a 5 psi leak out of a 0.005" (5/1000 inch) hole, 20 to 30 feet away depending on background noise.
  • Easily detects any gas that generates ultrasonic sound during flow – including vacuum leaks.
  • Capable of detecting leaks equivalent to 1.5 oz/year of Refrigerant.
  • Works equally well for compressed Air or Nitrogen.
  • Not affected by wind or high concentrations of leaked gas or refrigerant.

Kits for Every Application

Advantages Versus Sniffers

  • AccuTrak® VPE is a much more accurate and reliable instrument for detecting single and multiple leaks.
  • AccuTrak® VPE can detect any type of refrigerant gas including nitrogen.
  • AccuTrak® VPE detects both vacuum and pressure leaks.
  • AccuTrak® VPE is effective in gas saturated areas and under windy conditions.
  • AccuTrak® VPE does not require the introduction of tracer gases into the system, which can be ozone depleting when vented, and can also be harmful to ones health.
  • AccuTrak® VPE is battery powered for cordless operation

Advantages versus other Ultrasonic Leak Detectors

  • AccuTrak® VPE is #1 in technology. We wrote the book on ultrasonic leak detection, our patented instruments lead the industry!
  • AccuTrak® VPE is the original! it is not a copy.
  • AccuTrak® VPE is the most durable unit available, with the best warranty. The face of the unit is sealed with no pin holes/speakers for foreign objects to enter.
  • AccuTrak® VPE has more dynamic range, and wont overload in loud areas.
  • AccuTrak® VPE gives true audio sound reproduction instead of the "beeps and squeals" of other instruments.
