LeakFinderRT

Ease of Use

• LeakFinder requires no special training required but recommended to be more effective
• Built-in tutorials included in software (no manuals to read!)
• Also learn via online training modules
• The only required input is pipe material type, pipe diameter and sensors spacing
• No filters to set, just turn on the transmitters and the software takes care of all filtering and signal processing requirements

Advanced Signal Processing

• “Enhanced” correlation function that dramatically improves peak resolution for narrow-band leak noise commonly found in plastic and large-diameter pipes
• Intelligent automatic selection of frequency range (eliminating filter selection by trial and error)
• Correlation function with automatic or manual selection of finely tunable digital filters
• Real-time display of leak noise, frequency spectra, coherence and cross-correlation functions
• Notch filters to remove interfering noise of pumps and electrical ground loops
• Propagation velocity calculator using in-bracket or out-of-bracket noise

Superior Plastic Pipe Capability

• Exceptional low frequency response
• Dramatically improved resolution of correlation peaks
• The only system that audibly plays back plastic pipe leak noise by adjusting playback speed of inaudible low frequency leak noise to the audible range of human hearing

The Power of Windows

• Simple-to-use and familiar Microsoft Windows environment with context sensitive online help and documentation
• Results can be sent to Windows default printer, copied for pasting in other Windows applications, or automatically exported to an Excel spreadsheet
• Correlation display with a “zoom” button and a “live” cursor
• Permanent storage of leak noise for off-site analysis
• Online Help and Tutorials
• Easily upgraded to incorporate latest signal processing advances
• Internet ready for remote technical support

State-of-the-art Wireless System and Sensors

• Licence exempt RF transmission frequency (433 MHz in U.S.A and Europe)
• Optional licensed 460 MHz radios (Canada)
• Low noise and high sensitivity
• Excellent portability due to compact size and low weight
• Low temperature rated sensor cable
• Highly ruggedized, durable construction

Superior Performance

• Theoretical error less than 10 cm (3.9″; actual error depends on accuracy of sensor spacing and propagation velocity)
• Accuracy verified extensively using pure tones, random signals, and field tests on PVC, cast and ductile iron, asbestos cement, and large-diameter concrete pipes
• Superior low frequency performance with linear response from -5 to 20,000 Hz
