4. Nastavenie

Follow these steps to set up your PQWT PQ125C Water Leak Detector:

1. Pripevnite ramenný popruh: Connect the host machine to the shoulder strap for comfortable carrying during operation.
2. Pripojenie ovládacej páky: Open the host machine's aviation connector cover, insert the aviation plug from the control handle into the host machine, and tighten.
3. Pripojenie senzora: Open the sensor's aviation connector cover, insert the aviation plug from the control handle into the sensor, and tighten the nut. Select the appropriate sensor (DMR-H40, DMR-V59, or RC-S3) based on the pipe diameter and environment.
4. Pripojenie slúchadiel: Plug the headphones into the headphone jack on the host machine.
5. Zapnutie: Press and hold the power switch on the main unit for 3-5 seconds to turn it on. The system will boot up and display the main interface.

5. Návod na obsluhu

The PQWT PQ125C offers different detection modes for various scenarios.

5.1 General Detection Mode

This mode is used for quickly scanning large areas to identify potential leak locations.

1. Place the sensor on the ground directly above the suspected pipeline.
2. Using the control handle, adjust the volume and gain settings as needed (e.g., Volume to 5, Gain to 3).
3. Press the control handle switch to start leak monitoring. Stay at each point for approximately 8-10 seconds.
4. Move the sensor along the pipeline in 1-meter increments (for outdoor) or 0.5-meter increments (for indoor).
5. Observe the time-domain dynamic waveform on the screen. If the sound differs or becomes louder, and the waveform is continuous with stable amplitude, this location may be a suspected leak.

5.2 Režim polohy

After identifying a suspected leak area with General Detection Mode, use Location Mode for precise pinpointing.

1. From the General Detection Mode, tap to enter Location Mode.
2. The screen will display 16 signal collection boxes.
3. Place the sensor at the suspected leak point (center) and collect data.
4. Move the sensor around the suspected point in all directions (e.g., front, back, left, right) and collect data at multiple points.
5. Compare the signal strengths displayed in the boxes. The point with the highest signal strength indicates the exact leak location.

5.3 Gas Tracer Detection (If applicable to your model)

For models equipped with gas tracer detection, this method can be used for difficult-to-locate leaks.

1. Inject a hydrogen-nitrogen gas mixture (95% nitrogen, 5% hydrogen) into the pipeline.
2. Connect the Tracer Leak Detection Sensor (TLS-H8) to the host machine and attach the telescopic rod.
3. Press and hold the power button to turn on and enter the main interface. Tap to enter Gas Detection mode.
4. Wait for the sensor to warm up for 3 minutes, then tap "Confirm" and reset the sensor data.
5. Adjust the telescopic rod to a suitable length and move the Tracer Leak Detection Sensor close to the ground in a sweeping motion.
6. When the sensor detects leakage gas, the signal bar and value will change. The closer to the leak, the higher the value; farther away, the value decreases.
7. Note: Gas can only penetrate to the surface through permeable materials, so the highest reading point is not always the exact leak location. For higher accuracy, combine with Outdoor Detection mode.
