Water Leak Detection
Correlux P1
PAL Automatic Levels
The correlator Correlux P1 is used for leak location on pipes for potable water.

Water, escaping a leak under pressure, creates a noise which travels into both directions of the pipe. This noise is recorded by two sensors attached to the pipe ( e. g. valves, hydrants), amplified and transmitted to the correlator.

The Correlux P-1 compares both signals (correlation) and calculates the exact distance to the leak  from the signal delay, the sensor distance and the sound velocity

Easy to use:

  • Simple operation with rotary encoder
  • Rugged and compact
  • Large, high-contrast 1&Mac218;4 VGA  display with optimal visibility in any light condition
  • 500 mW radio power for great range, even out of line of sight
  • Transmitter with headphone connection to listen to the leak noise. Graphic and numeric level display for faster pre-location
  • Possibility to charge the entire system within the transport case via mains adaptor or car adaptor. Direct charging or operation via headphone socket.
  • Optimised antenna and sensor connection-no disassembly necessary for transport
  • Extensive list of accessories

Salient Features:

  • Simultaneous display of the correlation trace and the coherence spectrum (FFT analysis). Quick  filter optimisation  without the use of menus
  • Automatic and manual filter adjustment 0 ... 4000 Hz
  • Autocorrelation for leak location on dead ends
  • Possibility of measurements on mixed pipe materials with up to 6 pipe sections
  • Velocity measurement  for unknown pipe materials
  • Optimised display of the correlation trace to safely analyse leaks. Continuous measurement and averaging
  • Active piezo ceramic accelerometers,  best suited for plastic pipes
  • Internal trace memory and PC software for hardcopy and archiving
  • Software updates via RS 232 interface
