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.”
