Super Directional Acoustic Detector
Aqua Tronics Inc »S.D.A.D. 2-channel system points direction to fault
Ease and speed of fault finding with a thumper have been greatly enhanced with the addition of the S.D.A.D. to the Aqua-Tronics line. The Super DAD conveys more information about the fault location faster, with the addition of new microprocessor-controlled electronics that provide bright, easier-to-see-and-read signals—day or night.
US Patent #4,835,478
The SDAD has three modes of operation
- Basic DIRECTION-TO-FAULT, with centering ability
- Time-based distance to fault, triggered by ballistic impulse (Magnetic thumper wave), to eliminate false tripping due to background noise
- FAULT DEPTH indication
All other features are the same as the D.A.D., which has been proven to be the industry standard for detection of thumper pulses and is in use by most leading utilities in the U.S.
