AccuTrak® VPE-GN Ultrasonic Leak Detector

AccuTrak® VPE-GN Ultrasonic Leak Detector
For HVAC / R + Automotive

The Patented Superior AccuTrak® VPE-GN “Gooseneck” Ultrasonic Leak Detector is a state-of-the-art non-invasive ultrasonic leak detector that can detect both pressure and vacuum leaks of ANY GAS. The AccuTrak® VPE-GN is ideal for pinpointing leaks in air conditioning, refrigeration, automotive and other systems. The new 9½” flexible Gooseneck provides better detection capabilities in hard-to-reach places. AccuTrak® Ultrasonic Leak Detectors are extremely sensitive to the ultrasonic sound of a turbulent gas leak. Using the latest "heterodyning" technology they translate ultrasound to a lower frequency which your ear can interpret. The VPE-GN Ultrasonic Leak Detector maintains the original sound characteristics making it possible to distinguish leaks from other competing background sounds. AccuTrak® Instruments are so sensitive you can actually hear the blink of an eye, yet most background noise will not interfere with detection accuracy. Like all Superior AccuTrak® Leak Detectors, the VPE-GN easily detects leaks of ANY gas or refrigerant, compressed air, and even vacuum leaks.

Easily detects any gas that generates ultrasonic sound during flow – including vacuum leaks.

Capable of detecting leaks equivalent to 1.5 oz/year of Refrigerant.

Works equally well for compressed Air or Nitrogen.

Not affected by wind or high concentrations of leaked gas or refrigerant.

About Each Kit

Superior AccuTrak® advanced patented technology has never been so affordable! The AccuTrak® VPE-GN Basic Kit is for technicians who require only the essentials to detect leaks using airborne ultrasound. As with all AccuTrak® Leak Detectors, the VPE-GN finds leaks of any kind of gas or refrigerant without changing tips or components. Works equally well to find compressed air leaks, nitrogen leaks – even vacuum leaks! AccuTrak® Ultrasonic Leak Detectors can find leaks as small as the equivalent of 1.5 oz per year of refrigerant, or can hear a 5 psi leak up to 30 feet away.

The AccuTrak® VPE-GN Standard Kit offers literally twice the functionality of the Basic Kit with the addition of the Touch Probe and Waveguide. Utilizing the Touch Probe, the VPE-GN can troubleshoot thermal expansion valves in less than 5 minutes! The Touch Probe can also be used to detect faulty valves and other internal ultrasound. With the Waveguide attachment a technician can gain better access to hard-to-reach places and better determine the location of leaks that would otherwise be inaccessible.

The AccuTrak® VPE-GN Professional Kit is designed for technicians who work in noisy places, or who regularly need to find smaller leaks. The VPE-GN Professional Kit includes all the great features of our VPE-GN Standard Kit upgraded with professional Noise Cancelling Headphones and a larger case to keep everything together. These high quality headphones eliminate all background noise, allowing a technician to effectively find the smallest leaks – even in very loud environments. You can choose the standard style professional headphones, or the hardhat compatible version.

The AccuTrak® VPE-GN Plus Kit is designed for technicians looking to take full advantage of all the VPE-GN’s many capabilities. The VPE-GN Plus Kit includes everything in our Standard Kit – Plus our powerful Burst Tone Sound Generator! The sophisticated Burst Tone can artificially pressurize any vessel or space with ultrasonic sound, allowing a technician to quickly scan for leaks even where there is no actual pressure differential! The VPE-GN Plus Kit is ideal for technicians who test refrigerator door and window seals, or any other non-pressurized seal or vessel. The VPE-GN Plus Kit is also great for energy audits and surveys, and finding air leaks and sources of air infiltration in homes, aircraft, ships, and buildings.

The AccuTrak® VPE-GN Pro-Plus Kit is our most comprehensive VPE-GN Kit, for the serious technician who needs the maximum capability from an ultrasonic instrument. The VPE-GN Pro-Plus Kit includes the upgraded Noise Cancelling Headphones, the powerful Burst Tone Sound Generator, and the larger case to keep everything together. The VPE-GN Pro-Plus Kit offers unrivaled functionality and versatility for a fraction of the cost of any competitive system with similar performance. If you do a variety of work, and need a cost effective professional kit that can do it all, the Superior AccuTrak® VPE-GN Pro-Plus Kit is for you.

The Superior AccuTrak® Model VPE-GN is a special version of the VPE, with all the same technology and specifications – plus the unique ability to place the actual sensor head directly into hard-to-reach places. This 9” flexible GooseNeck allows you to find even the smallest leaks in blind spots behind obstructions or inaccessible places inside machinery. The VPE-GN cannot use the Touch Probe accessory to hear internal ultrasound, so references to this capability / option in this manual do not apply to the VPE-GN instrument. Also please note that the GooseNeck is NOT removable, and any attempt to remove or modify the GooseNeck will cause damage and void the Warranty.
