│ 2 AQUAPHON system
The user starts by selecting the suitable components. Compo-
nents that need to be connected mechanically are connected
by the user. The user then switches on the components before
switching on the receiver last. The receiver automatically recog-
nises the components as it is switched on.
With Direct startup, the system is ready to use as soon as the
receiver is switched on.
2.1.3.2 Applications
The names of the applications correspond to their possible uses.
The system can be used for:
●
Leak detection
●
Pipe location
2.1.3.3 Contact points
Each application allows the system to be used on certain contact
points. The contact point is the area on which a microphone is
placed.
The following contact points can be selected:
●
Paved
The contact point has a smooth, firm surface (e.g. asphalt,
concrete, plaster).
●
Unpaved
The contact point has an uneven surface, which may some-
times give way (e.g. gravel, crushed stone, grass).
●
Fitting
(only for leak detection)
The contact point is, for example, a hydrant or slide gate.
●
Universal
(only for leak detection)
The contact point is located inside a building.
This option is intended for locating leaks and pipes with the
