SeCorr 300 -Digital leak locating
correlator
|
|
The SeCorr® 300 is Sewerin's
new fully digital correlator offering unprecedented performance
in finding water leaks even on plastic pipes and trunk mains.
The fully digital signal processing and data transmission
largely eliminate the limitations experienced with conventional
analogue correlators. The digital radio eradicates the notorious
hissing in transmission paths. The narrow bandwidth of analogue
radio transmission no longer poses a restriction on transmitting
water leak noise information. The noises recorded from the
water leak are digitised at source, in the microphone, thus
eliminating interfering feedback via the cables.
This offers significant advantages, particularly when used
to find water leaks on plastic pipes, where the water leak
noise is, as a rule, very poorly transmitted and thus very
quiet. The result is improved water leak detection in non
metallic pipes, which are increasingly being used in water
networks. Notebooks, Toughbooks and desktop PCs can be used
to analyse the measurements. USB connections ensure the
system can be easily connected to all these computers. The
SeCorr® 300 system offers you the best chance of finding
those difficult to locate water leaks, even under the most
difficult of conditions where other conventional correlators
have reached the end of their detection limits. |

If you have never considered a computer based correlator but are
serious about locating water leaks think again; the SeCorr 300
could be just the tool you have been looking for |
The Digital radio transmitter unit
|
|
The radio transmitter RT
300 is mounted on a tripod during correlation offering
optimum radio performance. If the radio transmitter is out
of transmission range of the base station the water leak
noise is stored in the transmitter's memory and transmitted
to the receiver as soon as the radio connection is re-established.

Thanks to a microphone holder
on the tripod, the transmitter and microphone can easily
be carried in one piece. The user can listen to the current
noise through headphones, allowing them to assess the volume
of the noise, frequency filters can set directly at source
to render the sound clearly for your ears and the particular
leak. Using the filters it is possible to hear only the
frequency range where the water leak noise is best heard
by you. The RT300s are ringed with a luminous strip and
flashing LEDs making them highly visible even at night.
The internal rechargeable batteries have such a large capacity
that systematic correlation well over a normal working day
is no problem. |

The Radio Receiver
|
|
The RX 300 receiver
receives signals from the transmitter and relays them to
the PC via a USB cable. The cable can be connected to any
computer with a USB port. The receiver is attached to a
mounting clip on the notebook's carrying strap for mobile
use. The RX 300 also features a rubberised magnet
for use with a measuring vehicle. This holds the receiver
on the roof of the vehicle without damaging the paintwork
- no need for the installation of a roof antenna. An LED
control lamp continually indicates the status of the RX
300. |

The Software
|
|
Overview of basic functions
- Database-based software, no more cumbersome searching
through folders for file names, test can be seen at
a glance
- Can also be run on 64-bit operating systems thanks
to .net 2.0, future-proof
- Mode of curve of correlatable, synchronous data on
a time axis with free selection of correlation section;
loud areas and areas with interference can thus be reliably
identified and hidden (e.g. times with noises of consumption)
- Original noises can be recorded; there is the option
of creating a noise archive for comparison purposes
or to allow other users work with the stored leak noises
post correlation
- Filters of up to 10 tapes in up to 5 filter groups;
the results of various, arbitrary filter settings can
be compared
- Input up to 5 different pipe sections and up to 3
freely definable extra materials; optimal flexibility
as opposed to fixed standards for correlation professionals
- Easy drawing of damage sketches to supplement measurement
reports; optimal documentation for service companies
