8-6-2-3 Estimation of Gas Leak
Turn on the function of leak cost estimator in the equipment. The acoustic device automatically enables the focusing function by default to avoid interference. At the same time, it fixes the test frequency band to the 25kHz- 40kHz to ensure leak calculation accuracy.
There are options of air pressure and distance on the left side of the software. The user needs to input the air pressure (unit: kPa) and distance (unit: cm) of the leaking gas according to the parameters of the site. The built-in calculator calculates the leakage level and the approximate range of gas leakage according to the gas pressure, distance, and calculated leakage energy (for reference).
The gas leakage levels are divided into 7 classes and the corresponding leakage ranges are shown below:

Leakage Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Leakage Range (Unit: ml / min, for reference) <10ml/min >10ml/min to <200ml/min >200ml/min to <500ml/min >500ml/min to <1000ml/min >1000ml/min to <1500ml/min >1500ml/min to <2000ml/min >2000ml/min

8-6-3 Partial Discharge Settings 8-6-3-1 PRPD Graph A PRPD pattern is a visual representation of partial discharge (PD) activity relative to the 360 degrees of an AC cycle and is often critical to understanding partial discharge in high voltage (HV) insulation systems. The PRPD plot shows the amplitude of each discharge event (y-axis) plotted against their phase angle (x-axis). As the primary voltage on a power system rises and falls over time, the voltage applied across each defect also rises and falls over time causing the defect to discharge only at certain times and amplitudes. This is what creates the PRPD pattern. Each PRPD pattern will be unique as each discharging defect will be slightly different to one another as the physical defect will be of a certain type and certain physical shape. Although each pattern is unique, common trends can be seen for each defect type. These defect types include corona, internal void, poor contact, floating metal work etc. The severity of discharge can also be determined from the PRPD patterns. Enable the PRPD pattern graph as follows: 1. Using the touchscreen, tap the Display Window to open the main menu. 2. Tap More; then, select Partial Discharge. A window appears and the user
gains access to mode settings. 3. Toggle the PRPD Graph to the On position by tapping the switch. The switch

In the steady-state mode, the equipment will reduce the response speed to the signal, and the cloud image will be relatively stable. It is suitable for the observation of stable signals.
By default, the acoustic device is in the steady-state mode.
Change the mode as follows:
1. Using the touchscreen, tap the Display Window to open the main menu. 2. Tap the Acoustic icon. A window appears. 3. Toggle Steady to the OFF position by tapping the switch to enter Transient
mode. The switch turns gray when in Transient mode. Enable Steady mode by tapping the switch again. The switch turns blue when Steady-state mode is active. 4. Tap outside window to exit the Acoustic window. The main menu closes automatically due to inactivity.
8-13 Ultrasonic Monitoring
The equipment can modulate the signal in the ultrasonic frequency band to the audible frequency band, and can monitor the signal with headphones.
Ultrasonic modulation is uses superheterodyne receiver to convert signals to a fixed intermediate frequency which can be more conveniently processed than the original carrier frequency. The reference frequency of modulation can be set by the user. ICI recommends a frequency band of about 38.6khz for near modulation and monitoring.
Change the monitoring frequency as follows:
1. Using the touchscreen, tap the Display Window to open the main menu. 2. Tap the Acoustic icon. A window appears. 3. Tap Monitor. 4. Toggle Switch to the On position by tapping the switch. The switch turns
blue when enabled. Disable the feature by tapping the switch again. The switch turns gray when inactive. 5. Press-and-hold on the slider; then, drag left or right to adjust the frequency. 6. Tap outside window to exit the Acoustic window. The main menu closes automatically due to inactivity.

8-14 Real-time Acoustic Analysis Real-time analysis results are shown at the top right of the Display Window. The level in decibels of sound arriving from the strongest sources, up to 3, are presented (see Section 8-11 Cursors & Sound Pressure Levels (SPLs)). The Display Window also provides additional information about problems related to the specific application. Generally, the device is used for either leak detection (locating and estimating the size of compressed air leaks) or partial discharge detection (locating and analyzing partial discharges in electrical applications). 8-14-1 Air Leak Detection The device must be set to Gas Leak Mode to detect compressed air leaks (see Section 8-6 Application Modes and Section 8-6-2 Gas Mode Settings). The device detects compressed air leaks based on the sound emitted by the leak. When a leak is detected, the device estimates the size of the leak. The user must enable the gas leakage level calculation in the equipment.
SELECT THE APPROPRIATE MODE BEFORE CAPTURING MEDIA OR PERFORMING ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS.
8-14-1-1 Exclude Reflected Sound Background noise can disrupt acoustic inspections. Users should test inspection areas from different angles. If a sound source is steady, then it is most likely an actual sound source. Reflected sound appears to drift or disappear when be captured from different positions.
8-14-1-2 Exclude Noise Environmental noise in the low frequency band can cause false positives. To find the true sound source, ICI recommends using middle or high frequency to capture the position of sound sources. A relatively narrow band range is also suggested as it can eliminate interference noise. Users may also use the focus tool to eliminate environmental interference noise, reflection noise, multi-source interference, etc. (see Section 8-12 Focus Tool).
8-14-1-3 Specific Power The specific power is a measure of how much energy is needed to produce a certain amount of compressed air. The unit is measured in kW/m³/min. 52

Device Usage Techniques

9-1 General Usage
Do not use the device when charging. Do not use the device when charging from the Power Bank.

CONSULT YOUR SAFETY OFFICER ABOUT USING THE ACOUSTIC
DEVICE IN YOUR FACILITY OR WORKING ENVIRONMENT. THE HAND STRAPS ARE RIGID AND DO NOT
HAVE A SEPARATE SAFETY RELEASE MECHANISM, SO SPECIAL CARE SHOULD BE USED AROUND HEAVY MACHINERY.

When not in use the device should always be placed securely inside the carrying case to prevent it from falling. Always put the device inside the carrying case when both hands are need for other tasks, such as climbing ladders. Ensure that the camera is placed in such a way inside the case that it does not fall out.
Use the lanyard and hands straps to prevent accidentally drops. Do not carry or lift the device by the lanyard or hand straps. Always carry the device by the chassis.
Always keep the interface ports covered. Water must not enter the device, as this may damage the electronics inside.
Protect the microphone array at all times.
Do not touch the video camera lens or the conical microphone holes.

9-2 Inspection Techniques

9-2-1 Modes

Modes are useful for locating different types of sound sources by limiting the frequency range of sound sources displayed on screen. Background noise, e.g. traffic or factory noise, is often dominant at low frequencies, while many interesting phenomena have higher frequencies. Typically, the higher the frequency range is, the more local the sources of interest are – even in the presence of a lot of background noise.

The device marks the highest frequency, up to 3, with a crosshair. It is best

practice to do more in-depth analysis on the marked region as this can indicate

a leak or discharge.

57

SOUND DETECT & SOUND DETECT PRO USER MANUAL
For air leak detection, use the Gas Leak Mode.
For Partial discharge inspections, use the Partial Discharge Mode.
Users should test the inspection area from different angles to assist in eliminating reflected sounds and noise.
9-2-2 Weak and Strong Sounds
The device shows the strongest sound source in the field of view with a crosshair, up to 3. The strongest sources depend on the selected mode; different modes might display different sound sources.
When the focal tool is disabled the device shows not only the strongest sound source, but also weaker sound sources. The strongest sound source is the field of view is still marked with a crosshair. Sound sources will not be shown outside the focal tool when it is enabled. Disable the focal tool when locating weaker sound sources.
In order to see weaker sound sources in the presence of a strong sound source, move or rotate the camera so that the strong sound source is clearly outside the field of view.
Always keep in mind that any analysis is derived from the location marked by the crosshair on the display.
9-2-3 Actual versus Reflected Sound
The device shows not only actual physical sound sources, but also sound reflections. In order to verify a source shown on the display is an actual sound source and not a reflection, move around to look at the source from different directions. If the location of the source remains consistent, the source is an actual sound source. If the location of the source moves along a surface or completely disappears, the source is probably a reflection.
As the focus tools narrows the sound sources visible on screen, it can be useful for finding actual and reflected sound sources. By moving the device around the user may be able to tell which of the sources on screen are reflections.
If an actual sound source is large, e.g. a large vibrating surface, the source shown on the display might be smaller than the actual source. The source might in this case also move around as you move around the surface, depending on which point of the surface is closest to the device. Be sure to adjust the frequencies on the device to get an accurate picture of the sound source.
It is possible to adjust the dynamic range of the heatmap with the available quick slider. By increasing the dynamic range, the user might be able to tell the actual size of the sound source.
58

SOUND DETECT & SOUND DETECT PRO USER MANUAL
9-2-4 Directional Sound It is often useful to take snapshots of interesting sound sources from several different directions. The exact location of the source is easier to determine when viewed from different angles. Sound sources can also be directional, meaning that the sound level will differ depending on the direction.
9-2-5 Sound Saving The the capture button is pressed the sound coming from the direction of the crosshair is saved. The default is to save 2 seconds of sound, from the moment the capture button is pressed backwards. Keep the camera steady for a few seconds before taking a snapshot, in order to get a clear signal from the source of interest. If there is a sporadic event, take a snapshot right when or right after the event is observed in order to record the signal of the event.
9-2-6 Recommended Distance The minimum recommended sound source distance for the device is approximately 0.3 meters (1.0 ft). If the distance is shorter than this, the location of sound sources may not be accurately displayed. In addition, the optical camera will not be focused at such short distances. There is no specific upper limit for the distance at which the device can be used. In practical cases, the distance is often limited to approximately 120 meters (394 ft), but strong sound sources in an otherwise quiet environment can be detected at even larger distances. Respectively, weak sound sources usually require closer proximity.
