2.1 Function
The Correlux C-300-RI is a digital correlation system to locate leaks in drinking water
pipes.
Pressurized water at the leak location creates a noise which travels out in all directions
of the pipe. This noise is recorded, amplified and sent wirelessly to the correlation
system by two sensors (piezo microphone, hydrophone) which are attached to the pipe
(e.g. valve, hydrants).
The PC software compares both signals (correlation) and calculates the exact distance
to the leakage on the basis of the delay time of the signals, the sensor spacing and the
sound velocity in the pipe.
The Correlux C-300-RI is suitable for both immediate measurement
("Online measurement") as well as time-delayed measurement ("Offline measurement").
Online measurement
In a so-called Online measurement, the noise recording and the correlation of the data
take place at the same time.
Step Description
1
Installing the Power transmitters "A" and "B" at two measuring points.
2
Noise recording, at the same time data transfer and live data correlation on the
Correlator.
Offline measurement
In a so-called Offline measurement, the correlation of the measured data takes place
only after the noise recording has been terminated.
Step Description
1
Programming the sensors (Multi sensors and Power transmitters)
2
Installing the Power transmitters and/or Multi sensors at up to 8 measuring points.
3
Noise recording, immediately or at a preset time (e.g. at night).
4
Collecting the sensors.
5
Reading and analyzing the measured data using the Correlator.
Pinpointing
To determine the exact location of the leak after the correlation, a pinpoint search can
be performed using the Multi sensors or the ground microphone connected to the
Correlator.

4.2 Identification number (ID)
Each Power transmitter has its own six-digit identification number (short: ID). Using this
ID the device can be managed and clearly identified in the Correlator, computer and
within the SebaKMT-Cloud.
The ID is deduced from the last six digits of the device's serial number (short: SN). You
find the serial number on the nameplate of the device.
When entering an ID on the Correlator or computer, the preceding zero digits can be
omitted.
4.3 Power supply
Battery level
Charging
The Power transmitters are fitted with internal rechargeable Li-Ion batteries This can
power the device for approximately 12 hours.
In the Start menu of the Correlator two battery icons indicate the current battery status
of the Power transmitters.
On the Power transmitters, the current battery status is indicated by the LED bar
when it is green. If only one of five LEDs is lit, the device should be charged. Otherwise,
it switches itself off automatically.
Red light represents the recorded noise during the measurement and not the battery
status.
The Power transmitters are charged wirelessly in the transport case. The case must be
connected to a power supply. As soon as the Power transmitters are situated at their
storage places in the case, they are recharged inductively.
Charging takes approximately 12 hours. The I/O LED flashes when loading. The
LED bar indicates the progress of charging The I/O LED turns back to permanent
light as soon as the battery is full.
CAUTION
No objects must be put into empty charging stations.
Risk of fire!

4.5 Installation
To turn on, briefly press the I/O pushbutton . The I/O LED is lit green when the
device is turned on. To turn the device off, press the button until the LED goes out.
The microphone's storage place is fitted with a magnetic switch. As a result, the
Power transmitter "knows" whether the microphone is currently in use or not.
As long as the microphone rests in its storage place, the Power transmitter remains in
"Stand-by" mode. The internal analogue radio module stays off as no measuring data
needs to be transferred to the Correlator. This saves battery power.
As soon as the microphone is taken from the storage place, the Power transmitter
switches from "Stand-by" to "Active" mode. The radio module is activated. From now on,
the recorded data are directly sent to the Correlator. The row of LEDs switches from
green to red and represents the recorded noise level.
The sensors should be installed directly on the pipe but, however, you can also attach
them to valve rods or hydrants, for example, or any other position along the pipeline that
is easily accessible.
There must be the best possible contact between the sensor foot or the mounted
adapter (see below) and the pipe. If need be, clean the contact point thoroughly
(preferably with a wire brush).
In some situations it might be helpful to use one of the supplied magnetic angle
adapters.

5.3 Power supply
Battery level
Charging
The Multi sensors are fitted with internal rechargeable Li-Ion batteries This can power
the device for at least 16 hours.
In the Start menu of the Correlator up to eight battery icons can be seen. They indicate
the current battery status of the registered Multi sensors in reach. To know the exact
battery state of a Multi sensor, read the unit's configurations menu (see page Fehler!
Textmarke nicht definiert.). In the line battery status the battery level of the sensor is
shown as a percentage.
When the battery level of a Multi sensor falls below a certain threshold, the indicator
light of the device will flash red. The device must be charged. Otherwise, it switches
itself off automatically.
To charge the Power transmitters place them in the transport case. The case must be
connected to a power supply. As soon as the sensors are situated at their storage
places in the case, they are recharged inductively.
Charging takes approximately 6 hours. The units' indicator lights are rapidly flashing
during the charging process. The indicator lights turn to permanent green light as soon
as the battery is full.
CAUTION
No objects must be put into empty charging stations.
Risk of fire!
The charging stations are for transport and charging of the devices only.
NOTE
Any repairs must be carried out by an authorized service partner.
Otherwise, the devices' resistance against water and dirt cannot be
guaranteed.
Do not open the Multi sensors yourself. If you have problems with the
battery, please contact your SebaKMT service partner.
5.4 Switching ON/OFF
The Multi sensors have an internal magnetic switch.
To turn a Multi sensor on, briefly hold a magnet (e.g. the foot of another Multi sensor) in
front of the sensor's I/O area . The device turns on. The indicator light flashes
3 times.
To turn the device off, hold a magnet in front of the I/O area for approximately
2 seconds. The indicator light will flash 2 times before it goes out.

5.5 Installation
The Multi sensors should be installed directly on the pipe However, you can also attach
them to valve rods or hydrants, for example, or any other position along the pipeline that
is easily accessible. Due to their powerful magnet, the sensors can also be attached
horizontally.
There must be the best possible contact between the sensor foot or the mounted
adapter (see below) and the pipe. If need be, clean the contact point thoroughly
(preferably with a wire brush).
5.6 Angle adapter
In some situations, the Multi sensor cannot be attached directly to the desired
measurement point due to its size, e.g. in very narrow shafts or similar. In such cases, it
can be helpful to use one of the supplied angle adapters.
Magnetic connection
Screw connection
Thanks to its magnetic foot, the sensor is simply placed on the
adapter. Then, the magnetic adapter can be attached to the
pipe or fitting etc.
NOTE
The sensor's type plate and I/O area must face
away from the angle adapter - as can be seen on
the picture.
Otherwise, the magnet of the angle adapter would
You can screw the angle adapter firmly to the sensor.
This can be useful as the holding strength between the angle adapter and the pipe in
general is higher than the holding strength between the angle adapter and the sensor.
When collecting the sensors, it may happen that you pull the sensor from the angle
without intention. The adapter then remains on the pipe and it could be difficult to
remove it.
Unscrew the magnetic foot from the sensor. Take one of the
supplied screws from the COR C-300-RI set to screw the angle
adapter on the sensor.
turn off the Multi sensor unintentionally.
Make sure that the sensor's type plate does face away from the
angle adapter.
