1 Quick Guide

The HL 6000 PC Correlator uses highly developed measuring techniques and signal processing. It has been designed to be simple to operate and to show measurement results in an informative manner. To make the most of the equipment, however, we recommend that you read these operating instructions carefully.

The main steps for performing a correlation are explained in the Quick Guide. A detailed explanation follows thereafter.

1.1 Quick guide for TR A / TR B amplifier-transmitter

Function Operation

1. Put transmitter A (orange) at location 1 and fix the sensor to the valve, rod or hydrant. Proper contact between sensor and object is important. Check sound with headphones.

1. Switch transmitter A on. Align the aerial vertically and close the lid.

1. Put transmitter B (blue) at location 2 and fix the sensor to the valve, rod or hydrant.

1. Switch transmitter B on. Align the aerial vertically and close the lid.

2.3 Operating instructions for TR A / TR B

• Positioning the transmitters

1. Put transmitter A (orange) at location 1 and fix the sensor to the valve, rod or hydrant.

2. Put transmitter B (blue) at location 2 and fix the sensor to the valve, rod or hydrant.

3. The transmitters must always be set up with the antenna pointing upwards. ( See Fig 1: Setting up the correlator)

• Transmitter on

1. Use this button to turn the transmitter on. After switching on, a message first appears about the software version and the remaining battery capacity. This message will disap-pear after about 3 seconds and the transmitter is then ready to use.

2. After every button push, the background illumination for the display lights up for about 1 minute and then turns itself off automatically.

3. The transmitter automatically turns itself completely off after operating for 2 hours.

• Listening to the leak noise / displaying the level

1. You can listen to the leak noise via the headphone socket on both transmitters A and B. This means that an assessment can be made before doing the correlation and the user can decide whether the sound picked up is due to water leaking or is due to some other source (a pump, etc.). If necessary, the headphone volume can be adjusted using the ar-row buttons

2. The noise level is shown on the display both as a bar and as a numerical value. This means that you can easily compare levels at different measurement locations.

The individual elements of the screen are explained as follows. The number in front of the heading is the reference to this picture.

3.1.1 Channel A and B Time Signal Display

If the time signal is flat and more like a line, a correlation cannot be performed. Possible sources of faults: signal interruptions, a bad contact between sensor and valve, etc.

3.1.2 Signal Spectrum or Coherence Display

Filters are also shown in this window. These can simply be set by clicking and dragging the cursor in the window.

3.1.3 Channel A and B Level Display

The yellow and blue bar indicate if the E-Box is plugged into your PC and that the channels work properly.

HL 6000 PC Correlator Operating Instructions | 7Doc No. R12244 Jan/2009

3.1.4 Correlation Function Display

The delay time of the cursor position is shown inside the window next to the cursor (symbolised by a red line). Left-clicking with the mouse resets the cursor (default settings to the maximum correlation are done by the software automatically).

Right-click and drag with the mouse in this window to hide certain ranges from the correlation. This function is called “peak suppression”.

3.1.5 Diagramatical Representation of Pipe

This diagram does not just show the pipe but also a direct reference to the position of the cursor and hence the leak.

3.1.6 Displaying Transmitters A and B

The leak distance is shown above TR A and TR B. Both added together result in the total length of surveyed pipe. Watching A and B also indicates radio reception from TR A and TR B.

3.1.7 Current Pipe Data

See different pipe materials in different colors including pipe parameters.

3.1.8 Start Correlation Button

You can start a correlation with this function. If no pipe data has been entered, start a so-called “overview measurement”, as described in the Quick Guide. The advantage is to check quickly and efficiently if there is a possible leak on this pipe section.

3.1.9 Start 3D / 2D Correlation Button With this function you can show the time constancy of a noise, just as with a data logger. In this way, you can identify sounds that are not constant and are therefore also presumably not a leak.

Page 12: Water Leak Detection System · 3.1.4 Correlation Function Display 7 3.1.5 Diagramatical Representation of Pipe 7 3.1.6 Displaying Transmitters A and B 7 3.1.7 Current Pipe Data 7

8 | HL 6000 PC Correlator Operating Instructions Doc No. R12244 Jan/2009

You can choose either a 2-dimensional or a 3-dimensional representation. The change can be made in the “Configuration” menu.

3.1.10 Finishing the Correlation

Most of the functions are deactivated while a correlation is running. After finishing the correlation, this functions will be available again.

3.1.11 Changing to the Pipe Table Display By clicking the pipe data button (11) underneath the correlation window or choosing the appropriate tab, you can also go to the pipe tables (see also Chapter 3.2).

3.1.12 Reset Display

This deletes all current correlation and pipe data and a new measurement process can be started.

3.1.13 Playback

If the sound data was also saved during a previous correlation this can be replayed with this button after loading. A correlation is started at the same time and the result displayed in the correlation window. Important: To be able to listen and re- correlate at the same time you need a stereo sound card built into your PC. The “stereo- mix” sound file must be activated and the loudspeaker symbol in the task bar in the “on” position.

HL 6000 PC Correlator Operating Instructions | 9Doc No. R12244 Jan/2009

3.1.14 Automatic Frequency Analysis

This performs an automatic frequency analysis and analyses at which filter setting the best correlation takes place. Ten different results are then shown.

The best result is shown in red. If you click this window, the correlation is shown in “Normal” mode with the corresponding filter settings.

This function helps you to optimise the filter settings and to improve the correlation result. You should, however, analyze the result very carefully to see whether it matches the actual situation.

10 | HL 6000 PC Correlator Operating Instructions Doc No. R12244 Jan/2009

3.1.15 Measurement Statistics

First the curve shape for the correlation performed is analyzed and is allocated a quality factor between 0 and 100. The higher the value, the clearer the correlation.

For low values, the button for frequency analysis (14) is shown in the statistics window because an improvement might be possible by altering the filter settings.

Result statistics are also displayed.

With a measurement process that lasts longer, other louder noises (for example, water being briefly extracted) can affect the correlation and this will result in the cursor (and thereby the distance to the leak) not staying constantly in one position. These values appear in the statistics with low percentage values. This way, the function helps you to better identify the position of the leak.

HL 6000 PC Correlator Operating Instructions | 11Doc No. R12244 Jan/2009

3.1.16 Measuring Sound Speed

Measuring the “sound speed” is essential to generate an exact correlation result, especially for unknown pipe materials and pipe characteristics (e.g. old pipes).

To measure the sound speed of the pipe, an artificial leak must be created and the distance from this leak to the transmitters must be known. A slightly opened hydrant, for example, is an artificial leak. The leak can be both within or outside the transmitters. It is recommended, however, that the leak is produced outside the transmitters.

1. Place both sensors at suitable measuring points and open the artificial leak.

2. Start a new correlation with the “Start correlation” button (8). Finish the correlation when you have received a suitable result.

3. Now open the “Speed measurement” dialogue by clicking button (16). Enter the correspond-ing data in the query window.

The result is the sound speed of the pipe. Now close the artificial leak and perform the correlation again using the new data to determine the distance to the real leak.

3.1.17 Zoom In

With this function activated, the correlation curve can be enlarged in the chosen range by clicking and dragging with the mouse in the correlation window. This is particularly useful when two peaks are very close to one another.

3.1.18 Zoom to Pipe Length

The correlation window is automatically adjusted so that the length of the pipe fills the whole width of the window. By pressing the button once again, the whole measurement length is displayed again and the pipe is reduced in the middle of the measuring range.

3.1.19 Load Correlation

A saved measurement can be loaded. If sound data was saved this is also loaded at the same time.

3.1.20 Save Correlation

First you will be asked whether you would like to save the actual sounds as well. If you choose “no”, only the correlation curve (diagram) and the report will be saved. Otherwise, the sound data will also be stored in universal WAV format. The saved sound data can be called up at any time again, played back and correlated once again.

3.1.21 Print Correlation

Produces a printout of the correlation curve including a report.

If you have also produced a damage sketch, this can be printed out at the same time as well by checking “Sketches”. The sketch will be printed out on a 2nd sheet.

The printer selected is always the printer that is defined in Windows as the “default printer”. Please consult Windows Help if you wish to change the selected printer.

3.1.22 Help / Operating Instructions

The Operating Instructions supplied are called up in pdf-file form. You can therefore read about the functions and operation at any time.

3.1.23 Filter +/-

When “+” is checked, only the selected range is used for the evaluation. When “-” is checked, this range is excluded from the evaluation.

3.1.24 Wide Band

By clicking this button, the filter is fully opened to the maximum bandwidth.

3.1.25 Coherence / Spectrum A+B

Used to toggle between coherence representation and display of each sensor spectrum sent by the transmitters.

The user can add other pipe materials and sound speeds to the saved materials list, or alter the list, as many times as they wish.

To add materials, click “+” at (1) in the left-hand part of the window. Enter a name for the material in the following dialogue. It is advisable to clearly mark new materials (e.g. with your town as an additional remark) so that you can distinguish them later from the standard materials.

To then add the corresponding diameters and sound speeds to the new material, press “+” at (2). Fill in the subsequent dialogues with the corresponding values. You can measure sound speeds using the function of the HL 6000 PC Correlator that has just been mentioned. Please also read the chapter about this topic.

With the “Standard settings” button, you reset the pipe table back to its original state when the equipment was delivered. CAUTION! All data that you have entered will be deleted.

This operation mode enables you to compare two or even several measurements on a pipe and replaces a three-point correlation.

First carry out a correlation for a pipe section and save the measurement.

Now reposition one of the sensors and perform the correlation as normal.

To see whether both results agree select the multicorrelation mode.

In the upper screen the correlation from the main screen is shown as standard. If required, button (1) will, however, also enable you to load a saved correlation.

The comparative measurement for lower screen (4) is loaded using the corresponding (1). Before this, (2) must still be used to select the sensor that had the same position during both measurements.

You can therefore use your first measurement as a reference measurement and compare this with a large number of other correlations in the same range.
