Foreword
LD500 V1.00 Seite 4von 68
2Foreword
Dear Customer,
thank you for purchasing our leak meter with camera LD 500.
The new leak meter LD 500 with integrated camera and leakage calculation are ideal measuring
instruments which help to find and document even smallest leakages (0.1 l/min corresponds to approx.
1 € p. a.) easily even in far distances.
The LD 510 is the worldwide first leak meter with an additional freely assignable sensor input for all CS
sensors. In addition to the leakage measurement and detection also all necessary measurements with
regards to dew point, flow, pressure, and temperature ... can be carried out
Main functions:
Tracking and location of leaks
compressed air, gas, steam and vacuum systems
condensate drain
seals
refrigeration systems
Documentation / storage of leaks with
Image of the leak position
Date / Time
Description of the leakage position with indication of company / department or hall /
machine
Size of the leak in liters / min (units adjustable)
Leakage costs per year in € (currency freely definable)
Remark: By means of the additional available CS leak Reporter (Order No .: 0554 0105)
detailed reports with summary totals, subtotals (departments / warehouses etc))
as well as history reports (for temporal / continuous improvements) could be created.

3Safety instructions
3.1 About this document
Read through carefully this documentation and familiarize yourself with the
product before putting it to use. Pay particular attention to the safety warnings to
prevent injury and product damage.
Keep this documentation to hand for easy reference when needed.
Pass on this documentation to any subsequent users of the product.
3.2 Ensuring safety
Only use the product as intended and within the parameters specified in the
technical data. Do not use force for operating..
Never measure with the device at or near live/energized parts!
During leak detection on electrical systems, please maintain a sufficient safety
distance to avoid dangerous electric shocks!
Avoid any direct contact with hot and/or rotating parts.
Always switch on the device before putting on the headphones! At high signal
levels (bar graph headphones in the red area), the volume can be correspondingly
large. The sensitivity setting can be used to reduce the volume.
Never point the laser directly into the eyes! Absolutely devoid a direct irradiation
of the eyes of humans and animals!
Laser module: corresponds to DIN EN 60825-1: 2015-07 Class 2 (<1mW)
Observe the prescribed storage and operating temperatures.
Improper handling or violence will void the warranty.
Any kind of interventions on the device, as far as they do not correspond to the
intended and described procedures, lead to the warranty expiration and to the
disclaimer.
The device is intended solely for the described purpose.
3.3 Environmental protection
Disposal of faulty rechargeable batteries / empty batteries in accordance with
applicable legal regulations
Lead back the product after the end of the period of use to the separate
collection for electric and electronic devices (observe local regulations) or
return the product to CS Instruments GmbH & Co.KG for disposal.
CS Instruments GmbH & Co.KG makes no warranty as to its suitability for any particular purpose and

connection with the delivery, performance or use of this device.

General function description
LD500 V1.00 Seite 6von 68
4General function description
When gases escape from leaks in piping systems (leaking screw connections, corrosion, etc.), noises are
generated in the ultrasonic range. With the LD 500 even the smallest leaks, which are inaudible to the
human ear and not visible due to their size, can be located several meters away.
The inaudible ultrasound is converted to audible frequencies in addition to the display emission level
shown in the display. With the convenient, sound-proof headphones, these sounds can be heard even in
noisy environments.
In addition, the new LD500 device calculates the costs associated with leaks, providing additional
transparency about the state of the system under test or the potential cost savings.
The loss is displayed in l / min as well as in a freely selectable currency. The cost per liter or per cubic
meter of compressed air can be stored in the device.
The professional measuring instrument LD500 finds typical application in leak detection in compressed
air systems and leak testing of pressure less systems.
With the help of an integrated laser pointer, which serves as a targeting, the leak can be pinpointed.
Depending on the leakage, the appropriate accessories may be used to increase the sensitivity of the
LD500 to use, available accessories are:
Acoustic trumpet
Focus tube with focus tip
Gooseneck
Parabolic mirrorarabol
