RD500 Components:
The RD500 Receiver:
is a lightweight, handheld “listening stick” with a peak response meter and a headphone jack. An earth spike is included for use on grass and soil; a ground plate is included for use on pavement, asphalt, or concrete.
The RD500 Pulse Transmitters:
are available in two types: Electronic or Mechanical. The RD500-PRO Kit includes both the Electronic Pulse Transmitter and low, medium, and high Mechanical Pulse Transmitters.
Electronic Pulse Transmitter provides a traceable, automatic, fixed pulse, independent of water pressure.
- Ideal for use in low pressure water supplies, such as sprinklers, hoses, or domestic supplies where push fittings may be part of the infrastructure.
- Manual adjustment of the water pressure is not required when using the RD500-Tx Electronic Pulse Transmitter
Mechanical Pulse Transmitters:
are heavy-duty brass castings that use water pressure to drive a pulse spring. As water is discharged, an oscillator reacts to water flow in the Pulse Transmitter body and applies a distinctive pressure wave to the water in the pipe.
- Mechanical Pulse Transmitters need adjusted for each application
- All transmitters need a flow of 1.3 – 2.6 US Gallons per minute. 160 psi / 11 bar is the maximum working pressure for the Pulse Transmitter.
- Three Mechanical Pulse Transmitters are available for applications with different water pressures.
