INFICON LDS3000 Component Leak Detector

Modularity Redefined

LDS3000The INFICON LDS3000 Component Leak Detector has a unique ultra-compact, modular design for easy, cost-effective integration to optimize industrial leak detection systems. With the highest measurement speed available today, the LDS3000 is exceptionally durable and provides high reliability with minimal maintenance requirements. In addition, the robust LDS3000 is backed by the industry's only 3-year ion source warranty.

Designed to work with all test system configurations and mountable in any orientation, the LDS3000 offers fast and repeatable results under any test condition. Control and data acquisition are available via analog, RS232 communication port and native Fieldbus interfaces. System calibration can be performed through internal or external test leaks. True leak rate readings are provided in any test system design, including split flow. An easy-to-use and read touchscreen allows for fast, simple setup. For easier system installation, the LDS3000 has a totally new modular design with control unit, I/O and Fieldbus modules separate from the down-sized and easily exchangeable electronics, eliminating the need for a clumsy 19" rack module.
