The Cygscope RD from Cygnus Instruments uses detection of ultrasound to allow the user to quickly and accurately find leaks in industrial machinery. Ultrasound is generated by gas and liquid leaks. The intensity of the detected ultrasound is displayed on the LED bar graph and is made audible through either the internal loudspeaker or headphones.
In addition, the CygScope RD has a digital LCD readout to allow comparative measurements to be taken for regular maintenance checks over given periods.

Probe Options
Air Probe C50
(included in standard kit) The air probe is the most basic method of detecting ultrasound. It can be directly connected to the testing device, or via the flexible cable.
Contact Probe C52
The special contact probe is used to detect ultrasound on solid surfaces, eg noisy bearings.
Directional Tube
(included in standard kit) To be fitted onto the air probe C50 to improve the focus of the probe.
Telescopic Pole
The pole can extend up to 3m long to increase the reach of the user working with the air probe. The air probes are secured in a rotatable clamp and a connection is made with the socket near the clamp.
Ultrasonic Transmitter
With adjustable intensity and sound modulation for detection of defective seals
