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.

The Transport case offers space for the C-300-RI, 2 Power transmitters and
3 Multi sensors. The case is not only for storage and transportation purposes, but also
functions as a charging station for the devices.

2.3 Power supply

The COR C-300-RI is supplied by USB.

The Power transmitters and the Multi sensors come with internal rechargeable Li-Ion
batteries.

The storage places of the individual devices in the transport case function as charging
stations. As soon as a device is placed in/on its station in the case, the device is
automatically charged, provided the case is connected to the mains.

The case can be connected via the connection socket and the supplied connection
cable to either a 12 V connector of a vehicle or to the mains
