1.3 Intended Use
The ZONESCAN AI logger is intended for use by water suppliers to detect
possible leaks in their water pipe networks. The logger is installed
underground and attached to water pipes externally via the magnet in the
bottom part of the logger. An internal microphone records sound from the water
pipe and sends the resulting sound signals via the NB-IoT network to ZONESCAN
NET, the Gutermann cloud service, for analysis. The antenna required for
connection to the NB-IoT network is attached to the logger via cable and also
intended to be installed below ground. See the section on Mechanical
installation below for details.
ZONESCAN AI and ZONESCAN NB-IoT products, hardware, software and accessories
are exclusively intended for industrial use and exclusively intended for leak
detection on water pipes of the public water supply. In particular, these
products are not intended to be used on waste water and gas pipes. Gutermann
is not liable for any damage caused by misuse, improper operation, and as a
result of non-compliance with safety instructions and warnings.
Delivery Contents
The ZONESCAN AI Logger set contains
- The ZONESCAN AI logger itself
- An external antenna
- A tool to open the logger casing
Preparing the AI Logger for installation
3.1 Requirements
In addition to the AI Logger itself and the tool to open the logger’s casing
(shipped with the logger), you will need:
- An NB-IoT SIM card (one SIM card for each logger). Make sure it’s already activated before you begin.
- A so-called JIG Cable (sold separately). This cable goes between the AI logger and your Android device during initial setup.
- A USB On-The-Go (OTG) adapter cable (not included) to connect the JIG Cable with your Android device. Make sure you have an OTG adapter that fits your Android device, i.e. one that either has a USB-C or Micro USB connector.
Note: You only need one JIG Cable and one OTG adapter, as these are only used during the initial setup of each AI Logger.
3.2 Installing the SIM card
Open the AI Logger by placing the hooks of the provided tool into the two
openings in the bottom of the logger. Turn the tool counterclockwise to
unscrew the bottom part (including the magnet).
Inside, you will see a slot for the NB-IoT SIM card. Insert it with the
contacts facing inwards and press it down until it snaps into place. To remove
the SIM card, press it down again and it will eject just enough so you can
pull it out with two fingers or a pair of pliers.
Once you have installed the NB-IoT SIM card, place the bottom part back into
the logger asing and screw it tight (turning clockwise) using the provided
tool. Make sure the O ring (the black ring made of rubber) is still in place
to prevent moisture from entering the device.
3.3 Preparing ZONESCAN INSTALL
We assume you have a login (username and password) for ZONESCAN NET and an NB-
IoT project in ZONESCAN NET that you have access to. Note that NB-IoT projects
in ZONESCAN NET will be used for both ZONESCAN AI and ZONESCAN NB-IoT loggers,
but you cannot use AI loggers with Alpha, Lift & Shift, or any other type of
project. If you haven’t already done so, download the ZONESCAN INSTALL app
from the Google Play Store onto your Android device and open it. The following
are the minimal steps you have to go through to be able to use ZONESCAN
INSTALL to configure and deploy AI Loggers. For detailed instructions, please
refer to the ZONESCAN INSTALL manual.
-
Accept the license agreement
-
Enter your company’s name
-
From the Project Management screen, tap on the “Enable Account Settings” prompt at the bottom of the screen
-
Enter your ZONESCAN NET username and password
-
Go back to the Project Management screen and tap on the reload symbol in the upper right corner to download a list of your projects
-
Tap on the Download option of the project you want to use
-
Once the project has been downloaded, tap on the project’s name to select it
-
ZONESCAN INSTALL will ask you to enter the Gateway Settings:
o Gateway Adress: 95.217.68.86
o Port: 45709 1
o APN: APN of your network provider
o Username (Optional): (leave empty unless explicitly required by your network provider)
o Password (Optional): (leave empty unless explicitly required by your network provider)
o Network Operator (Optional): (leave empty)
o Bands: Tap to open a popup. Select all bands that your network provider supports.
o Time Offset: (for your information only)
This is the offset to GMT, as set in ZONESCAN NET. It will be used to set the time zone of the AI logger once it has been properly registered.
o Network Contact Time: Delay before the AI Logger will try to register itself at the gateway. Default: 5 minutes.
Note: For successful registration, the AI Logger will have to be known to ZONESCAN NET. So you have to upload the project from ZONESCAN INSTALL to ZONESCAN NET before this time is up. -
After tapping Next, ZONESCAN INSTALL is set up and you can start configuring and deploying your AI Loggers.
Note: If you need to change any of the Gateway Settings, you can do so by switching to the map view and selecting Project > Project Settings from the menu on the top right of the screen.
3.4 Configuring and deploying the AI Logger
You need to configure the AI Logger before you deploy it. Refer to the photo
below for correct cable connections and follow these steps:
- Remove the external antenna from the AI Logger
- Attach the JIG Cable to the AI Logger
- Plug a Micro USB Cable into the JIG Cable box
1 In the unlikely event that your network provider has blocked port 45709, you can use port 8472 as an alternative.
- Connect the OTG adapter cable with the USB-A connector of the Micro USB Cable (see picture below for clarification)
- In ZONESCAN INSTALL, select Logger Setup from the menu
- Plug the OTG adapter cable directly into your Android device
-
Confirm the Android dialog asking you to allow ZONESCAN INSTALL to access the USB device to proceeed.
-
Confirm the dialog asking if you want to synchronize the network settings.
Once the AI Logger has been successfully configured, you can deploy it.
- Remove the JIG Cable from the AI Logger and attach the original external antenna again.
- Deploy the logger as usual. Refer to the ZONESCAN INSTALL manual if you are not familiar with deploying a logger.
- Once the AI Logger has been deployed, you can either upload the device information to ZONESCAN NET immediately (recommended) or continue configuring and deploying additional AI Loggers.
Important: Remember to upload the project (which includes the information about the deployed loggers) within the time window defined by the Network Contact Time in the Gateway Settings. If you upload the project data too late, the logger will not be able to register. It will try again every 24 hours, though.
Mechanical installation
4.1 Safety Precautions
You must ensure that there is adequate safety present when working at great
heights, in deep chambers, or traffic situations.
Always thoroughly clean the logger and fittings according to local laws and
regulations, to eliminate risk of contamination of drinking water.
Use protective gloves to prevent cuts from sharp edges.
4.2 Installing the AI Logger
The AI Logger connects to the water pipes externally through the magnet in the
bottom part of the logger. Typically, it is placed on a metal connector
between pipe segments, such as a shutter or other connecting element. Make
sure you place the logger on a piece that is actually part of the pipe
system, so it can pick up the sound within the pipes. Do not place it on other
parts of the chamber that happen to be magnetic but are not directly connected
to the pipes.
4.3 Directions for the External Antenna
Use the provided antenna.
Tighten connectors correctly to ensure good contact and sealing. No tools
necessary –fingertight fastening is adequate.
The antenna has a magnetic foot for easy application to ferrous surfaces.
Place the antenna as high as possible to ensure good radio connection.
Not using an antenna (not connecting anything to the RSMA connector) may
potentially damage the equipment when it is powered on.
The AI Logger has to be used only with the antenna (ANT-ZS-NBIOT) provided
with the device. Please refer to sections 5.2 and 5.3 for details on selecting
the right antenna.
4.3.1 Recommendations for Placing the Antenna
- Place the antenna as high as possible, i.e. close to ground level.
- Horizontally, make sure to keep a distance of several centimeters from metal surfaces such as the chamber walls.
- Place the antenna vertically (with the tip pointing upwards), preferably centred below the cover of the chamber. If the cover has a metal perimeter, keep a distance of a few centimeters from it.

5.4 Firmware Updates
The firmware of the AI Logger can be updated to fix issues and implement
additional features. Firmware updates will usually be delivered over the NB-
IoT network or can be applied locally by connecting with the logger via the
JIG Cable. In rare cases, such as changes in the NB-IoT standard or underlying
technology, technical reasons may require that the logger be sent back to the
factory to perform the upgrade.
Storage and Transport
In order to avoid unwanted radio transmissions and prevent battery depletion,
connect the logger to ZONESCAN INSTALL (using the JIG cable) and send it to
sleep using the “Logger Sleep Mode” option from the main menu.
Alternatively, open the Logger chassis and remove the battery.
