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 ¼ 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
