AccuTrak VPE-GN Professional Kit

VPE-GN Professional 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 9˝” 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 Professional Kit is designed for technicians who work in noisy places, or who regularly need to find smaller leaks. With the sensor at the end of the 9-1/2” long flexible GooseNeck you get full sensitivity all the way into those hard-to-reach places. The VPE-GN Professional Kit includes all the great features of our VPE-GN Standard Kit upgraded with professional Noise Cancelling Headphones and a larger case to keep everything together. These high quality headphones eliminate all background noise, allowing a technician to effectively find the smallest leaks – even in very loud environments. You can choose the standard style professional headphones, or the hardhat compatible version – same price!

Kit Includes:

• VPE-GN Leak Detector
• Battery
• Waveguide
• Noise Blocking Headphones
• Large Carry Case

Applications:

• Leak Detection: Air, Vacuum, Refrigerants; ANY GAS!
• Steam Traps: Detect live steam loss in seconds!
• Valves: Detect/hear internal leakage in check, ball, needle, gate or any type of valve! Diagnose thermal expansion valves in just five minutes!
• 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.

• 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.

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.
