SAFETY

Only use the device in explosion hazardous areas of zones 1/21 and 2/22 or outside of explosion hazardous areas.
Before entering an explosion hazardous area with the device,
- make sure the smartphone battery is screwed tight.
- connect the IS540.1 Smartphone securely to the measurement electronics,
- when using the Waveguide: install the sensor in the Waveguide,
- make sure the system components are not damaged,
- make sure that all the labels on the device are readable,
- ensure that the sensors, Waveguide and Waveguide Lock are grounded by the user or other i.safe MOBILE GmbH approved accessory when entering the ex zone,
- make sure that the case is not taken into the ex zone.
If you use the device in an explosion hazardous area,
- do not disconnect the 16-pin connector between the smartphone and the measurement electronics,
- always place the sensors and the Waveguide on a grounded surface,
- do not damage the device.
Switch off the device immediately and leave the explosion hazardous area without delay if
- malfunctions occur on the device,
- you have damaged the housing of the device,
- you have exposed the device to excessive loads,
- the labels on the device are no longer readable.
Do not modify the device structurally.
Do not expose the device to high temperatures.
Do not expose the device to strong UV radiation.
Do not expose the device to processes with high electrical charges.
Do not expose the device to aggressive acids or bases.

INSTALLATION

DANGER
An incorrect procedure in explosion hazardous areas poses a risk of death or severe injuries! Carry out the following activities outside of potentially explosive areas only.

INSTALLATION OF MEASUREMENT ELECTRONICS

Set up an Internet connection for the installation. An Internet connection is not required after installation.
When using it for the first time, insert a SIM card into the smartphone or activate the eSIM (see Operating Manual for Smartphone IS540.1).
Insert the battery into the smartphone and hand-tighten the battery (see Operating Manual for Smartphone IS540.1).
Turn on the smartphone.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
You can find help on how to use the Senseven App at www.senseven.ai
Slide the IS540.1 Smartphone (2) into the mount on the measurement electronics device (1). Connect the plug (4) of the measurement electronics device securely to the 16-pin ISM interface (3) on the smartphone (see Operating Manual IS540.1 Smartphone).

WAVEGUIDES FOR COLD ( < -50 °C (< -58 °F)) OR HOT (> 120 °C (> 248 °F)) SURFACES
When performing measurements with the Waveguide, use the IS-SU150F1.1 Sensor Ultrasonic. You can install the sensor outside or inside ex zones:

Unscrew the Waveguide (6) and slide the sensor (8) into the Waveguide Lock (7) with the labeling pointing towards the spring.
Apply the couplant to the measuring surface of the sensor.
Screw the Waveguide back onto the Waveguide Lock.

SENSORS
For measurements without the Waveguide, use the IS-SU150F2.1 Sensor Ultrasonic or, optio-nally, the IS-SU030F2.1 Sensor Ultrasonic (for quiet environments, with low leakage volumes). You can connect these sensors to the measuring electronics (1) outside or inside ex zones:

Plug the sensor cable (5) into the connector labeled “SENSOR”.
Connect the other end of the sensor cable to the sensor (8).
Clean the measuring area of the sensor with a soft, lint-free antistatic cloth.
When using the IS-SU150F2.1 Sensor Ultrasonic, stick the coupling foil onto the measuring surface of the sensor.
When using the IS-SU030F2.1 Sensor Ultrasonic, apply the couplant to the measuring surface of the sensor.

MEASUREMENT

DANGER
An incorrect procedure in explosion hazardous areas poses a risk of death or severe injuries! Please pay attention to the following:

Ensure that the case is not brought into the potentially explosive area.
Make sure that the sensors, the Waveguide and the Waveguide Lock are earthed by the user or another accessory approved by i.safe MOBILE GmbH when entering the potentially explosive area.
Always place the sensors and the Waveguide on a grounded surface.

PREPARE MEASUREMENT

Make sure the valve is closed.
If possible, remove any existing insulation still on the valve. If the insulation cannot be removed, access the measuring point through a hole in the insulation (diameter 10 – 12 mm
(0.39 – 0.47 in)).
Determine the valve ID (possibly label on the valve).
Determine the flow medium (possibly information on the pipe).
Check whether there is a pressure difference at the valve (possibly displayed on the pressure gauge or via the process control system). For a correct measurement, there must be a pressure difference according to the table in the „Device overview/Functions“ section (see Operating Manual).
Determine the flow direction of the medium in the valve (possibly arrow on the pipe/valve).

PERFORM MEASUREMENT

Turn on the smartphone and open the Senseven App.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
You can find help on how to use the Senseven App at www.senseven.ai

Once you have selected the valve type in the Senseven App, the app will show the ideal measuring points (M1, M2, etc. in the valve drawing), specifying where you have to place the sensor for the measurement. In general, the ideal distance between the measuring points depends on the pipe diameter and is measured from the valve flange:

Carry out the measurement with 5 measuring points (recommended).
Press the sensor onto each individual measuring point.
To start the measurement, you can either tap the „Measure“ button in the Senseven App or press the left side button on the IS540.1 Smartphone.
Make sure that the contact pressure is as even as possible at the individual measuring points during the measuring process.
Make sure the sensor does not slip while measuring.

REPEAT MEASUREMENT
The measuring software checks whether the measurement needs to be repeated for each measurement point. At least one repeat measurement is required for the measuring points on the pipe (M1, M2, M4, M5). At least two repeat measurements are necessary at measuring point M3.
If specified by the Senseven App, repeat the measurement at the measuring point.
If the system detects significantly different measurement signals at a measurement point
(10 dB deviation), you will receive a message in the Senseven app.
After the last measurement, the Senseven App automatically displays the result of the measurement (Leak/No Leak).
In a further step, you can then add details to the measurement, take a photo and save the measurement. As soon as the system has an Internet connection, all measurements are automatically synchronized with the back office (https://cloud.senseven.ai).

CLEANING

Do not use chemical agents for cleaning.
Clean the device with a soft, moistened antistatic cloth.

STORAGE
Store the device at a humidity of 10 % to 60 % at the following ambient temperatures:

Up to one month: -20 °C to +45 °C (-4 °F to +113 °F)
Up to 3 months: -10 °C to +35 °C (+14 °F to +113 °F)
Over 3 months: -10 °C to +25 °C (+14 °F to +77 °F)

RECYCLING

DO NOT throw away batteries with household waste.
Always dispose electronic products, batteries and packaging material at the appropriate collection points. This way, you prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the recycling of material resources.

You can obtain further information from regional waste disposal companies, state authorities or the i.safe MOBILE GmbH service centre responsible for your country or region at www.isafe-mobile.com/en/support/service
