Compact, affordable water leak locator for water leak detection

Click on any image to enlarge
The Stethophon® 04 is an electronic sound detector for detecting and amplifying structure borne sound oscillations of all kinds.
With both an integral and seperate remote external microphones it provides clear undistorted digital sound reStethophon 04ion even when the noise is inaudible to the human ear. The sound level is shown (numerically not by LED segments) on the clear illuminated digital display A ground microphone can be connected to the Stethophon® 04 for listening to sounds in the ground and valve listening extension rods to listen on pipes and valves.

Stethophon® 04 FEATURES

 

Minimum Noise Level Memory Function - Visual assistance pinpointing water leaks

Current “Minimum” noise level: A leak noise does not get quieter but traffic and wind noise will increase and decrease.
The Sthethophon® ignores all these interfering noises digitally locking onto and displaying only the “quietest” moment it has heard during the time you have been listening. Last Minimum Noise Leve: The last Minimum Noise Level is stored and displayed
Are you closer or further away from the leak in your present listening location compared to the last?
Is the leak sound getting louder or quieter?
The higher the number on the display the closer you are to the leak

 

Frequency filtering

The filter function allows the user to listen to the sound at the frequency that best suits their hearing and the particular noise being listened to.
The filters make it easier to hear certain noises by eliminating many interfering background frequencies
You can think of it like a graphic equaliser on your music player!
 

Dynamic hearing protection

The Stethophon® 04 has Dynamic Hearing Protection which mutes the headphones when any loud or sudden sudden noises are detected thus protecting the user's hearing from damage

 

Wireless headphones SDR


The Sewerin Digital Radio (SDR) offers a sound transmission quality equal or better than by cable. By elimiinating the cable comfort of work is improved considerably. Headphones and detector connect automatically by bidirectional radio link when switched on.
Sewerin Digital Radio works without any quality degredation. Unlike analogue radio the completely digital signal processing stops interferences caused by hissing and re-amplifying

 

Applications for the Stethophon 04

  • Used as a simple, fast leak detector in water networks
  • Examination of house service pipes when the water meter is read
  • Examination and localisation of damage in compressed air systems
  • Detecting defects in plumbing and heating facilities in buildings
  • Checking on machine bearings
