The LD-15 can also be used for water leak “pinpointing,” the term used for finding the exact location of water leaks:
The LD-15 includes standard accessories and optional accessories for water leak surveying and pinpointing:
Standard Accessories

The Amplifier has a large Meter Display, Volume Control, Mute Switch (also serves as ON/OFF), and Filter Range Switch:

The LD-15 requires 4 “C” size batteries:

Turn down the Volume Control before pressing the Mute Switch. With the Mute Switch depressed, adjust the Volume Control to hear the sounds comfortably.

There are two Filter Ranges:
- High: 30 Hz to 5000 Hz
- Low: 30 Hz to 800 Hz
Use the High Range for water leak surveying and the Low Range for water leak pinpointing.
