TURNING ON If powered from 24.0VDC power supply via the VEXT connection the unit will turn on COMPANY automatically as soon as power is applied.
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 4.2. LISTENING While in LISTENING mode the unit continuously monitors the acoustic energy produced by the pipeline as it waits for a pig passage to occur. The unit is configured to recognize the unique sound signature produced by a pig as it passes the sensor. The unit uses the algorithm described in section 4.4 DETECTION ALGORITHM to detect a pig passage.
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 4.4. DETECTION ALGORITHM Below is a simplified flowchart for the ID5001P detection algorithm which is running while the unit is in LISTENING mode. Periodically calculate 100 bin FFT (200Hz per bin) Calculate Power In Band (PIB) between Lower Frequency bin (LF) and Upper Frequency bin (UF) Calculate Average Noise (AN) Calculate Average Value (AV)

ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 5. INSTALLATION ⚠ WARNING: The Special Conditions for Safe Use as detailed in section 10 CERTIFICATION APPENDIX must be followed at all times. Normally the unit is used to confirm whether or not a pig has passed a known point of interest on a pipeline such as a bend or valve.
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 5.3. MAIN HOUSING PIPELINE MOUNTING The pipeline mounted unit is supplied with a set of ratchet straps or steel banding as shown. If the pipeline surface temperature is expected to exceed the maximum permitted ambient temperature for the enclosure as per the tables in the Special Conditions for Safe Use within section 10 CERTIFICATION APPENDIX then the housing must NOT be fitted on the pipeline.
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 5.5. SUNSHADE POST MOUNTING If the main housing is exposed to direct sunshine, then it is recommended that a sunshade is installed to prevent unnecessary heating of the unit which may shorten the lifespan of the equipment. Secure the post mount sunshade to the post as shown using the supplied M8 U-bolt / post / clamp / sunshade / 2x M8 washers / 2x M8 nuts.
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 5.7. OPENING THE HOUSING The instructions detailed within the product certificate and section 10 CERTIFICATION APPENDIX of this manual must be followed at all times. ⚠ WARNING – DO NOT OPEN WHEN ENERGIZED. Using a 3mm AF Allen key loosen the M4 locking screw located at the 12 o’clock position on the REAR ENDCAP 6x full turns.
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 5.9. BATTERY REMOVAL The unit will have been configured at the time of manufacture for operation with either DURACELL INDUSTRIAL ID1300 alkaline OR SAFT LS33600 lithium cells. Depending on this configuration the unit will shut down when the battery voltage reaches 6.5V for alkaline or 17.0V for lithium.
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 5.10. EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS To access external connections, follow the steps below: The Special Conditions for Safe Use detailed in section 10 CERTIFICATION APPENDIX of this manual must be observed at all times.
