Quick Guide

The HL 6000 PC Correlator uses highly developed measuring techniques and signal processing. 

It has been designed to be simple to operate and to show measurement results in an informative 

manner. To make the most of the equipment, however, we recommend that you read these 

operating instructions carefully. 
The main steps for performing a correlation are explained in the Quick Guide. A detailed 

explanation follows thereafter.

Quick guide for TR A / TR B amplifier-transmitter

Function

Operation

1.  Put transmitter A (orange) at location 1 and 

fix the sensor to the valve, rod or hydrant. 

Proper contact between sensor and object is 

important. Check sound with headphones.

1.  Switch transmitter A on.   

Align the aerial vertically and close the lid.

1.  Put transmitter B (blue) at location 2 and fix
