The LDS3000 is a compact helium and hydrogen leak detector for system leak detection. It features the EcoBoost function that reduces helium consumption by up to 90%, and connects easily to equipment through analog and digital interfaces and several fieldbus systems. It is widely used in automotive and battery manufacturing and in refrigeration and air conditioning.
