Efficient and pinpoint leak detection for flat roofs

EASY LEAK DETECTION

MTA Roof Scan - Product

The MTA Roof Scan is an innovative leak detection device for use on all types of flat roofs.

Precise location of leaks is possible with the MTA Roof Scan without time-consuming preparations (e.g. removal of the gravel in the test area). All you need to carry out the test is the correctly attached earthing cable, which can be used to establish a voltage circuit to the electronics, and sufficient water to moisten the test area.

Testing is carried out by simply driving over the roof with the measurig systems. Based on the principle of the electrical conductivity of materials, this technology enables efficient leakage detection on roof surfaces.

Real-time measurements

The integrated software delivers the test data in real time to the display and also offers the option of exporting test protocols as PDF files for your in-house reporting.

Handy design and the practical transport box make the MTA Roof Scan a reliable companion for leak detection missions. Thanks to the modern technology, even large roof areas can be inspected quickly and efficiently.

SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPES OF FLAT ROOFS

MTA Roof Scan has an innovative electromagnetic leakage measuring system for the precise location of leaking areas on all types of roof surfaces.

The highly developed technology enables the most accurate measurements for the most diverse types of roof structures, including:

  • Cold and warm roofs
  • Inverted roofs
  • Green roofs
  • Trafficable roofs
  • Gravelled roofs

Practical add-on system

The MTA Roof Scan can be extended with the MTA IQM Scan in just a few simple steps. This system makes it possible to check hard-to-reach areas for leaks quickly and efficiently.

The MTA IQM Scan case is connected to the electronics of the MTA Roof Scan – the connections for 10 highly sensitive and robust measuring probes are located on the side of the case. The MTA IQM Scan system’s switch box can be used to control the measuring probes and carry out cross measurements.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY IN THE SMALLEST SPACE

  • Compact design of the electronic module in combination with a modern Windows tablet consequently form the basis for accurate measurements.
  • Measuring data can already be viewed on the roof in real time. On the other hand, subsequent evaluation of the tests is also possible at any time through the integrated software.
  • The practical design makes testing easy and efficient
  • All components and any accessories can be easily and safely stored in the transport box supplied.

ONE PROBE – TWO MEASURING FUNCTIONS

The probe mounted on the measuring cart is primarily used for surface testing. If the leaky area is identified during the surface test, this will be clearly indicated in the measurement program.

To more precisely locate the damaged area, you can perform a point location of the leak. For this, you can detach the probe from the measuring cart and use it by hand for precise localization.

This allows for point locations to be conducted even in areas that are difficult to access.

REAL-TIME DATA ENABLES EFFICIENT WORK

The data can be viewed and analyzed in real time already on the roof.

With the software and the powerful Windows tablet, the following settings can be made, among others:

  • Creation of projects
  • Material databases with various roof structures included
  • Measurement and real-time data transmission
  • Securing and archiving measurements
  • Easy export of measurement protocols as PDF

PROPER PLACEMENT OF THE COUNTER ELECTRODE FOR OPTIMIZED MEASUREMENT RESULTS

To ensure precise and reliable localization, it is crucial to correctly position the counter electrode. For the optimal functioning of the test circuit, we recommend attaching the counter electrode directly at the site of the apparent leakage. This involves making a small hole in the ceiling of the interior at the point where moisture ingress through the roof is visible. Into this hole, insert a screw ā€“ please note that a plastic plug should not be used for this purpose.

Finally, connect the cable of the counter electrode, which extends from the electronics case, to the head of the inserted screw. This procedure allows you to establish an optimal voltage circuit, essential for a meaningful and accurate measurement.
