MSA UltraSonic IS-5 Gas Leak Detector
For high-pressure gas applications and
installations restricted to low power
The UltraSonic IS-5 is a non-concentration based
gas detector used to detect leaks from highpressure
systems. Like other ultrasonic monitors,
the UltraSonic IS-5 responds to the airborne
ultrasound generated from gas releases in open,
well ventilated areas, where traditional methods
of detection may be unsuitable or dependent on
ventilation. Because the UltraSonic IS-5 responds
to the source of a gas release rather than the
dispersed gas, it is unaffected by changing wind
directions, gas dilution, and the direction of the
gas leak. Further, with its maximum coverage
radius of 20 meters, it can supervise a relatively
large area with a single device.
The UltraSonic IS-5 is immune to many false
signals and can be configured to filter short
timescale ultrasonic noise that can produce
nuisance alarms. Frequencies below 25 kHz
are removed by a high pass filter, effectively
eliminating interference from audible and low
frequency ultrasonic noise. At the same time,
setting the alarm trigger level above the ultrasonic
background noise ensures immunity to other
noise sources. The result is a reliable method of
detection, able to monitor environments with
high levels of ultrasound such as turbine rooms
and compressor stations.
Besides high-pressure gas applications, the
UltraSonic IS-5 is suited for installations restricted
to low power (< 1 W).
