thank you for taking the time out of your day to help us and making this excellent demo that is hands down better than even the demo video put out by superior signal company.
cheers. you the man.
thanks for the tips and insight into this unit, definitely considering picking this tool up.
Extremely good vidjao. I’ve been curious about those for awhile and seeing this is prolly gonna make me pick one up.
Thank for information
Does the super super small leak make bubble when you put it into water?
hmmm not sure what you mean by that 🤔
what is the ideal pressure?
Hey Jason, Do you think this would work to find a vacuum leak on a heating oil fuel line? Thanks!
@@HVACLife I'm a dope, I knew it was Josh, sorry about that. I've been calling my wife's friends husband Damian for 2 years and he told me last week it's actually Dante...lol
I can't find any information about Amprobe ULD-410 vs this Accutrak one. Is that the one you tested, ULD-410 or ULD-420? Or did you try the ULD-400/405? Strange, as the Amprobe has a MUCH wider frequency range, which could theoretically pick up many more leaks or leak types. Would love to know more about the comparison, but like you said, isn't anything out there besides your comments here and at HVAC Talk forums.
@@HVACLife Thanks a bunch for the extra info on the comparison. Yeah the ULD-300 was the older model that Amprobe recently replaced. Of course the made in america thing is a huge plus - but still would be curious to see how it compares.
-Yeah the new Amprobe ULD-410 says it has 20kHz to 90kHz range, with intelligent auto noise filters (those filters are important from what I hear, and the ULD-405 doesn't have them, just the 410 and 420).
-The Accutrak is 36kHz to 42kHz, quite a narrow range and just wondered if that limited it somehow.
-The older Amprobe ULD-300 that you tested, is 35kHz to 45kHz, similar to the Accutrak.
I can see how the gooseneck probably made the difference, especially with the sensor being at the tip of the gooseneck.
Absolutely, soon I'll have to get the ULD-410 and the Accutrak, and compare them in a video with a proper leak set up. Interested in what sets them apart as they both are heterodyning type technology.
Then of course, there is the Accutrak VPE-1000... which is another step up in price but makes me wonder how it compares too on leak searching? haha
@@HVACLife For sure! Will let you know
@@JFirn86Q any updates on the comparison video?
It took me a while to figure out it was picking up the light 🤣
Was leak checking a vrf fan coil the other day. not sure what was interfering with it but it was so loud I about fell off the ladder
@@HVACLife Fan coil was off but there was possibly a separate power source to a branch selector nearby, not sure. And of course lighting in the area but I don't think it was the lights.
@@HVACLife Just stumbled upon the channel a few days ago. Appreciate the content 🤙
@@HVACLife Haha yeah definitely was a strange one. And I think one of your shorts was on my recommended.
2:10 in the video and still trying to subscribe again🤦♂️
Oh, I don't like reviewers like you. Which generally cannot unlock the potential and fully show all the functionality of the device. At the very end, when your sensor stopped detecting a leak, it happened because there was no pressure. There should be at least 150 psig or even 400 depending on the contours. At such values, the device will really show its functionality and show its work in action.
That is true that ultrasonic does very poorly with low pressure. If I had a better test rig I’d use it
