This instruction manual must be available at the operation site of the leak detector at any time. In case
of any obscurities or questions, regarding this manual or the product, please contact the manufacturer.
WARNING!
Compressed air!
Any contact with quickly escaping air or bursting parts of the compressed air system can lead
to serious injuries or even death!
•Avoid that persons get hit escaping air or bursting parts of the system.
WARNING!
Laser pointer!
Do not point into the eyes with the laser. it can lead to serious injuries particularly on lens and
retina or even blindness!
•Never look directly at the laser
•Never point the laser at persons.
•Never point the laser at smooth and reflective surfaces. This can lead to a reflection of the laser.
WARNING!

•Make sure the product is operated in its permitted limitations.
•Do not exceed or undercut the permitted storage and operation temperature and pressure.
General safety instructions
•It is not allowed to use the product in explosive areas.
•Please observe the national regulations before/during operation.
Remarks
•It is not allowed to disassemble the product.
ATTENTION!
Measurement values can be affected by malfunction!
The device must be used properly and frequently maintained, otherwise it may lead to

6
wrong measurement values that can lead to wrong results.
•Avoid condensation on the leak detector sensor because this will affect the accuracy enormously.
Storage and transportation
•Ensure the transportation temperature is between -20 ... +50°C.
•For transportation it is recommended to use the packaging that comes with the leak detector.
•Please ensure that the storage temperature of the sensor is between -10 ... +50°C.
•Avoid direct UV and solar radiation during storage.
•For the storage the humidity must be <90%, no condensation.
2 Application
OS 531 is a hand-held ultrasonic leak detector that helps you quickly find and record leakages in compressed air or
any gas systems.
When gases leak through tubes and tanks, an ultrasonic sound is produced. OS 531 can detect the sound from
several-meter away, and transform the inaudible sound into a frequency that can be easily heard by ears.
In unpressurised systems, you can use an ultrasonic tone generator to generate sounds that can be detected by OS
531.
To efficiently manage leak surveys, leaks, and related repair activities, you can purchase the LMS (Leak Management
Software), which is specifically designed for the OS 531. LMS is purchased independent of OS 531, and can be
installed on a local or cloud-based server.
The OS 531 can work in the LMS or Non-LMS mode. This manual takes you through how to use OS 531 in these two
modes.
3 Features
•Finds leaks in the compressed air or gas system easily even from distance
•High resolution 3.5” color touch screen, easing operations in leak detection
•Wireless connection with headset
•Built-in camera to take photo of leak locations
•Voice recorder for voice memos
•Laser pointer to pinpoint leak locations
•Records leak information for statistics and repair
•Calculates air loss in l/min, m3/h or cfm and in the local currency
•Integrated noise reduction technology
•Battery capacity for up to 8 hours
•Wi-Fi interface enables wireless data transmission with the LMS.
