1.0  INTRODUCTION 
 

The  FCS  S30  SURVEYOR  is  a  precision  leak  detection/location 
instrument  incorporating  several  unique  and  advanced  features, 
including: 
 

 

Low  Noise  Design:    To  help  the  operator  detect  the  minimum 
signal level possible. 

 

 

Manual Volume Control:  To provide great versatility. 

 

 

Analog Meter:  To ensure consistent and accurate sound intensity 
measurements. 

 

 

Adjustable Meter Control:  To ensure accurate readings in a variety 
of environments. 

 

 

Lightweight,  compact,  rugged  and  weather  resistant  to  withstand 
daily field use. 

 

The  S30  is  designed  as  a  survey  instrument  for  use  with  the  AX80 
transducers.
