A simple low cost solution to help detect air leakage in compressed air circuits by integrating an automated leak detection system as a part of a machine that can even monitor leakage while a machine is in operation. Leak Detection = True Equipment Performance Capabilities

By adding an ALDS to a machine you can:

• detect air leakages as and when they occur – even on a daily basis
• confirm the exact value of the leak in l/m
• provide maintenance personnel with a detailed report on where the leakages are located without the need to detect individual components.
• operate and detect leakages even when the machine is in operation
• be integrated in the machine’s software without the need for any external supervision system – scad, etc.

Basic Operating Concept:

The A.L.D.S. is based on a manifold block consisting of a standard SMC series PFM flow meter plus the introduction of a diverting valve which is installed in the machine’s main air
supply. The valve is operated using sequence instructions which are integrated in the machine’s operating software. Using a pre-programmed “check leakage cycle,” each compressed air circuit on the machine can be individually monitored with the results checked against the previously stored records saved in a PLC. These records can then be issued as a report to the maintenance departments accordingly, thereby ensuring maximum efficiency in both air leakage detection and potential energy savings.

• Power requirements-the SR103AM will accept 24 VAC/DC or 115 VAC
• Inputs-the SR103AM will accept single or dual N/C inputs or dual inputs from a light curtain (see SR102AM for application wiring for a light curtain)
• Outputs-the SR103AM has 3 N/O outputs to route power to the coils of power contactors, plus 1 N/C auxiliary output for signaling purposes
• External Device Monitoring (EDM) is provided with a N/C loop between S11/S12 and S21 on the SR103AM
• Monitored manual or automatic/ manual reset modes are available on the SR103AM. Monitored manual reset requires closure of the reset circuit followed by opening of the circuit.
