PULSAlarm LEAK DETECTION
The PULSAlarm Pressure leak detection reagent head assembly consists of a leak detection
reagent head, leak detection diaphragm, suction and discharge check valves, and optional
pressure switch and gauge. If your pump is equipped with this option, refer to Appendix I on
page 33 for further information.
A sealed system must be maintained at all times during pump operation, whether leak
detection is required or not.
