The loggers are available as a standard unit (with an antenna), or versions
without an antenna connector (known as Lift and Shift models). Lift and Shift
models have an internal antenna and therefore less radio range.
(Regular models can also be programmed for
“
lift and shift
”
style of use).
•
PCorr+ can make a sound recording. P does not have this feature.
•
The radio-link is a single-frequency channel, time-shared between the loggers.
Due to radio regulations varying (dependant on country of use), several different
models exist to comply with the various radio standards. The antenna supplied
with each logger is similarly matched to the frequency and power required by
the radio regulations, and should not be swapped for an alternative type.
Note: The loggers require a Patroller (radio transceiver) with a matching
frequency.

The loggers are of a water-proof plastic and metal construction. They include a
magnetic base, which is the attachment point of the logger onto the pipe network.
Most models are shipped with an antenna. Ensure the screw thread for the antenna is
clean, before hand-tightening the antenna to the logger. If optional lifting hooks have
been purchased, ensure these are fitted tightly.
The loggers are shipped
from the factory in an “off” state (
in a deep-sleep mode), where
they are almost totally inactive (to preserve the life of the battery). Before first use they
have to be started, or
“woken up”. This is accomplished by
resetting the logger.
Once reset, the logger will operate continuously for the life of the battery. The battery
life depends on the factory settings (and any subsequent changes).
Installation consists of attaching the logger to a metal pipe fitting (typically a valve inside
a chamber) using the magnet on the logger base. Always ensure the metal contact point
is free from dirt or oxidization so that the magnet makes a good contact. The
microphone is positioned just behind the magnet, so good contact is important. HWM
recommends the use of a wire brush to clean the pipe/valve/hydrant fitting prior to
attaching the logger. An alternative method must be used for non-magnetic pipes.
For best performance, it is recommended that the logger is deployed in a
vertical / upright position as this gives the most effective radio range.
When fitting or removing a logger from the installation location, please grasp the main
body of the logger or use the optional lifting hooks. Removal of the logger by grasping
the antenna can cause permanent damage and is not covered by warranty. Store
unused loggers safely
–
Refer to the supplied safety instructions.
The loggers can optionally be pre-configured with the desired program settings prior to
being shipped from the factory.
