The
S�C���Ph�� AC 06
is used for electroacoustic water leak
detection and acoustic pipeline location. It can also detect leaks
in underground pressure line systems by correlation.
CAUTION!
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance re-
quirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm
must be maintained between the antenna of the
transmitter RT 06 and all persons.
The antenna used for this transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

The
S�C���Ph�� AC 06
is used to detect water leaks by
electroacoustic means. The device is used in conjunction with
various microphones which are listed in section “Accessories”.
When pressure pipelines leak, water gushes out of the crack into
the ground.
The consequences:
The pipe material begins to vibrate at the leakage point. These
vibrations are transmitted by the pipe and can even be felt at
distant contact points, e.g. fittings. The
S�C���Ph�� AC 06
makes
this structure-borne sound audible.
The water jet and the pipe in the vicinity of the leak also cause
the ground to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted through
the ground to the earth’s surface where they manifest themselves
as ground noise.
The human ear continues to play a crucial role in electroacoustic
leak detection. With the right training, it can compare the type and
sound of different noises and distinguish between the noise of a
leak and background noise.
