Tru Pointe® Ultra

Instruction 28-9000

2 Introduction

General Description

The Tru Pointe

®

 Ultra Ultrasonic Leak Detector is an electronic instrument that detects the 

inaudible high frequency sound (ultrasound) of high pressure leaks and converts it to sound a 
human can hear.  Using patented technology, the Tru Pointe

®

 Ultra guides the user to a leak by 

quantifying the intensity of the ultrasound and converting it to sound the user can easily hear.

The Tru Pointe

®

 Ultra has been speci

fi

 cally designed for air conditioning and refrigeration 

(HVAC-R) leak detection.  The Tru Pointe

®

 Ultra is the only test system that can simultaneously 

detect the vacuum and high pressure leaks that can occur in HVAC-R systems.  Since the instru-
ment detects only sound, it is gas-independent and can be used to detect leaks at the speed of 
sound, without the delay seen with gas dependent “sniffers.”
