Description

Spiratec

Type 30 and Type 40

Trap Failure Indicators

The Spiratec Type 30 and Type 40 trap failure indicators are used

for the detection of steam leaks through steam traps.

They are used with:

- a sensor chamber and sensor, installed immediately upstream

of a steam trap.

- a steam trap with a built-in sensor.

A remote test point (Spirax Sarco R1 or R12) can be used where

access to the trap or chamber is difficult.

Three versions of the indicator are available:

Spiratec Type 30

Spiratec Type 30 UL approved (described in separate literature)

Spiratec Type 40

The Type 40 is similar to the Type 30, but the Type 40 has

an electronic filter to give a steady response where fluctuating

pipeline conditions may cause a less stable signal.

Type 30 and Type 40 indicators are battery powered, and

are connected to the sensor using the 1.25 m cable provided.

The trap status is indicated with red and / or green LEDs. A test

circuit indicates low battery or a faulty unit.
