AQUASCOPE 550 – ACOUSTIC WATER LOSS LEAK DETECTOR
It detects the water loss-leakage and leakage sound occurring in the drinking water line acoustically with the listening microphones from above ground without contacting the pipe or without directly contacting the pipe with the listening rod (probe). Aquascope 550 is the world’s first and only acoustic water loss and leak detection detector with “frequency switching” feature, designed to help detect low-frequency water leakage sound especially in plastic-based and large diameter pipes such as PVC, HDPE, PE. In addition, the Aquascope 550 has impressive amplification capabilities. This water leak detection device, preferred by professionals, will allow you to easily locate leak points that cannot be detected or difficult to detect with other equipment. With a range of advanced features, AYKOME recommends this acoustic microphone to be your choice Aquascope 550 acoustic microphone for demanding leak detection.
PRODUCT FEATURES
– Wide Frequency Band: Aquascope 550 has a very wide frequency band. With its unique feature “Frequency Shift”, it automatically brings the low water leakage sounds that cannot be detected to the sound range you can hear. The 1 Hz to 5000 Hz range allows the operator to pinpoint water loss leaks at every frequency.
– Versatile and Simple Usage: There are only 2 keys on the control unit. All functions can be performed by means of these rotary keys. Functions such as increase-decrease-application can be managed with one button, and you can switch to 3 different filter ranges defined with the other button. Aquascope 550 offers the operator very fast and easy operation in terms of usage. It has a manual filtering feature that can be changed between 1Hz and 5000Hz in 40Hz intervals for the sounds coming from the acoustic microphone working with high sensitivity. By making transitions in 4 different frequencies, low-frequency water loss and leak detections are made. It will provide convenience and practicality in long-term work.
-Designed for Frequent and Long-Term Use: Aquascope 550 ergonomic design, metal or non-metal plastic, etc. It has a very robust and light body specially designed to find losses, leaks and leaks in large diameter pipes. The microphones are designed to be comfortable to use and carry, made of high quality stainless steel and wrapped with special rubber. Thanks to this special rubber surrounding the microphone, interaction with external factors is minimized. Standing out with its maintenance-free structure, Aquascope 550 is an extremely reliable product with a low total cost. GUTERMANN provides a 2-year manufacturing warranty for the Aquascope 550, as it does for all its other products.
-With Ground Microphone or Electronic Listening Stick: Aquascope 550 is available with the option of a ground microphone or electronic listening stick (handpiece), or an all-in-one combination kit. The ground microphone is very robust, suitable for adverse field conditions and has an acoustically isolated structure that prevents environmental sounds.
In general, it is more suitable for water loss and leak detection on flat surfaces and roads. The handheld microphone has the same high performance as the ground microphone, but it is easy to carry. The handheld microphone has a structure that facilitates listening on uneven and especially soft floors with its tripod attachment, which is suitable and adapted for listening with direct pipe contact.

HOW TO DETECT WATER LEAKS
Gutermann brand Aquascope 550 model acoustic listening microphone is the world’s first frequency pass leak detection device. In the field, this feature assists the operator in easy detection of low-noise leaks, including plastic pipes, by being picked up by the amplifier. Also; The device is used both simply and for a long time with its analog structure. In this way, it is beneficial for the operator to start using and detecting leaks in a very short time without the need for technical or training. No work is left unfinished, thanks to field-replaceable long-life rechargeable batteries. The aviator stereo earphones filter out external sounds and concentrate them on the leak sound. Easy on the eyes and easy to use keypad and menu makes searching for leaks enjoyable. Contrary to the devices that have become more complex with the new technology, the analog structure is gaining the appreciation of everyone.
The “point detection” method is to listen sensitively on the pipe with an “acoustic listening microphone”. The acoustic listening method is applied in the pinpoint detection of water leaks where the correlation technique cannot be applied or cannot be detected by this technique. In this method, the point(s) with the highest sound level is determined by listening for noise at certain distance intervals on the line with a sensitive acoustic microphone that is sensitive to sound. This point(s) is the point(s) where the water leak is present.
In order for the above-mentioned water leak detection works to be carried out in the most accurate and fast way, the condition that the water leak detection devices to be used must be of high quality and sensitivity.
