Table 7: Configuration Parameters 

 

7.4

 

Transient Sensitivity Adjustment 

When  initially  manufactured,  the  devices  are  configured  with  an  S3  Sensitivity  of  130.    This  setting  is 
deliberately conservative to avoid the situation where the devices continually detect transient events on active 
pipes. 

Once PIPEMINDER-S has been installed for a few days the background S3 score may be evaluated using the 

“S3 Value” plot in the graph on 

RADAR.  In most cases a clear background S3 value can be identified with 

occasional event spikes; the S3 sensitivity should be set midway between these two. 

The resulting number of transient events identified per day can vary significantly between pipelines but the 
situation where transients are continuously detected should be avoided. 

When  relocating  a  device,  it  is  important  to  re-set  the  S3  Sensitivity  back  to  130  until  the  background 
knowledge at the new location is developed.
