Version 1.1
1.2 Charging all equipment
The Sensors and Correlator contain rechargeable batteries and can be
charged either from AC mains electricity (110 -240v) using the charger
supplied or from the 12v DC socket in a car. All 3 components maybe
charged at the same time from the red lead supplied. Remove the red
cap from the 12v Cigar plug on the red lead and insert it into either the
AC mains charger socket for charging in the office or directly into the
12v socket in the car. 2 hours is usually enough time to achieve full
charge. Both Sensors LED will flash during charging and then turn off
when complete. The Correlators battery symbol will show full when
complete.
2. Quick Start Guide
To start, once all components are charged connect antenna to the
Correlator and switch on
. Connect the Antenna to both Radio
Sensors.
a.
Deploy both Sensors by magnetically attaching them to the pipe
fittings. Measure the distance between the sensors with a
measuring wheel. If hydrophones are used ensure the water
connections are leak free. Switch the sensors on by pressing the
push button on the top for 1 second until the red LED is on
constant before walking half way between the sensors with the
Correlator. Note: Both sensors LED must either flash (Plastic
Mode) or be constant. A mixed setting would falsify the
measurement result! Make sure the A and B radio signals are close
to maximum.
b.
Press the
Pipe
button
and enter the pipe material, diameter and
distance (measured between sensors with a wheel). Press the Pipe
button to verify the indicated data is shown at the top of the main
screen.
c.
Check whether the connection with the sensors is good by listening
to the sensors with the headset, see chapter 4.3. Optimise Antenna
location and sensor contact to create the clearest signal if not
already achieved.
d.
Press the button
Start Correlation
and wait until
correlation has
completed or stop the correlation after 5 minutes by pressing
.
e.
Adjust the filter (see chapter 4.4) setting if necessary to enhance
the measurement quality and cleanness (reduced minor peaks and
spicks).
