Overview
The correlator Correlux P-1 is used for leak location on pipes for potable water. Water, escaping from a leak under pressure creates a noise which travels into both directions of the pipe. This noise is recorded by two sensors (piezo-microphones, hydrophones) attached to the pipe (e.g: valves, hydrants), amplified and transmitted to the correlator. The Correlux P-1 compares both signals (correlation) and calculates the exact distance to the leak by use of the signal delay, the sensor distance and the sound velocity.
Features:
- Easy handling with rotary encoder,
- Rugged and compact design,
- Simultaneous display of the correlation chart and the coherence spectrum (FFT- analysis),
- Quick filter optimisation without using menus,
- Fast and easy leak identifi cation by using the overview measurement with unknown pipe parameters ,
- High radio output for broad reach,
- Transmitter and correlator with direct headphones plug-in to listen live to the leak noise,
- Recharging the complete system in the closed case - direct charging is possible, too,
- Up to 6 pipe sections measurable,
- Active piezo ceramics accelerometers, best suited for plastic pipes,
- Automatic and manual fi lter adjustment 0 - 4000 Hz,
- Reliable measurement results,
- Ideal on plastic pipes,
- Long operating time.
