Connecting the cable passage
The cable passage (2) is connected for a smooth insertion of the flexible sensor head (3) in the drinking water line. The passage comes with a Geka coupling approved for use in drinking water systems.

1. Close the shut-off valve of the water line.
2. Prepare the end of the pipe section to be examined with a supplied Geka coupling (16, 17). Connect preferably straight pieces or branches of 45° to avoid the sensor head from getting caught during insertion
3. If the distance between the attached Geka coupling and the next shut-off valve is too small, use the optional hose adapter (11) to connect the cable passage.
4. Connect the Geka coupling to the cable passage (2).
   Make sure that the storage container with the disinfectant (1) is positioned vertically upwards

Inserting the sensor head

• Notice
  In case of DN50 pipes, the fibre optic cable can be pushed around bends of 90°. Despite this flexibility, please proceed with extreme caution during any application with 90° bends due to the high breaking load.

• Info
  The sound recorder is very sensitive and records even barely perceptible sounds. Nevertheless, despite this sensitivity, it cannot be excluded that a leak is not recognized under certain conditions. This might either be due to the fact that the leak causes no leakage noise or else the sensor head (3) no longer works correctly. Therefore, check the sensor head prior to every measurement by running your fingernail over the tip.

• Info
  In the course of the insertion process, a very loud scratching noise can be heard in the headphones/ speaker, which is caused by the pushing. You can mute the sound using the multifunction button (20).

1. Before opening the shut-off valve, make sure that all connections have been made correctly. Then slowly open the shut-off valve.
2. Carefully slide the sensor head (3) into the pipe through the connected cable passage (2).
3. Push the fibre optic cable (6) further into the pipe in increments of 30 to 50 cm. Allow the sensor head (3) to come to a rest at the end of each step in order to record the sounds in the environment of the sensor head.
4. If the sensor head (3) gets stuck inside the pipe, try to loosen it by carefully pushing it back and forth.

Acoustic leak detection with Bluetooth headphones
In the case of leak detection in connection with the Bluetooth headphones, the noisiest spot in the defective pipe is the search target. We proceed on the assumption that every leak brings about a leakage noise. The closer you get to the fault location, the more sound energy will be recorded by the sensor head (3), which results in a perceptible increase in volume. At the same time a shift in the pitch to higher frequencies will be audible.

1. Push the sensor head (3) into the pipe until you have located the spot with the loudest noise and the highest pitch.
2. For fine tuning, push and pull the sensor head (3) past the spot you have just determined for a number of times. There is a leakage at the defined spot.

Acoustic leak detection with level indicator

Info
The integrated level indicator is for orientation purposes only. A leaking sound does not necessarily cause a full-scale deflection of the Level LED (21).

1. Gradually push the sensor head (3) into the pipe.
   The more of the Level LEDs (21) light up, the closer thesensor head (3) is to the leakage.

Acoustic leak detection with Bluetooth receiver and LD6000 combination detector
Info
By use of the LD6000 combination detector, frequencies up to 4000 Hz can be visualized. The best results with the LD6000 combination detector can be achieved in the user-defined application in smart mode as well as in non-stop measuring mode. For detailed information on measuring with the LD6000, see the separate LD6000 manual.

1. The LD6000 combination detector is not included in the scope of delivery and is available as an option.

Connect the headphones to the LD6000 combination detector.

2. Connect the Bluetooth receiver (12) to the LD6000 combination detector.
3. Gradually push the sensor head (3) into the pipe. The larger the numeric display of the

LD6000 combination detector and the higher the pitch (see lower frequency- response diagram of the LD6000 combination detector), the closer the sensor head (3) is to the leakage.

Pipe and pinpoint location with a locating device

Notice

• The search pig at the tip of the probe is optimized for use with 33 kHz. Other common frequencies can only be used to a limited extent or not at all. Use a suitable frequency generator.
• For pipe and pinpoint location, you need a commercially available locating device, which consists of a generator (transmitter) and a receiver as standard. The locating device is not included in the scope of delivery.

1. Carry out an acoustic leak detection.
2. Leave the sensor head (3) at the position where you havedetermined the maximum level.
3. Connect the frequency generator of the locating device tothe device

Probe detection
Connect one of the 9 mm sockets (18) to the frequency generator and insert an earth spike into the ground to which you connect the other socket of the frequency generator in order to track the course of the inserted fibre optic cable

Pinpoint location
Connect both 9 mm sockets (18) to the frequency generator to contact the search pig at the tip of the probe and to determine the exact position of the search pig.

Pipe and pinpoint location with the measuring wheel

1. Carry out an acoustic leak detection.
2. Leave the fibre optic cable at the position where you have determined the maximum level.
3. Read the uncoiled length from the mechanical metre counter (5) and write down the determined value.
4. Walk down the corresponding length along the pipeline course with a measuring wheel.
