Chapter 1 Quick Tour
Squelch operation
Squelch level is the RF signal threshold that the Seeker X uses to determine the validity
of the signal. The signal "breaks squelch" when the RF leakage is greater than the squelch
level and tag qualifiers are met as well. The receiver will not alarm for signals below the
squelch level.
The squelch level has a factory default of 1 µV/m. However, it can be reconfigured using the
Mobile Tech application and StrataSync, or Seeker Setup software.
Source localization
The Seeker X emits an audible tone to help you pinpoint the leakage source. The tone
frequency increases with signal strength. As you move closer to the leak, the frequency of
the tone will increase to provide an audible indication that the level is increasing, as well.
Optional software
Seeker Setup is used to configure the Seeker meter family, enabling the operator to
y
assemble files containing channel frequencies, squelch levels, and other settings. Users
can efficiently download configurations to one or more leakage detectors.
StrataSync and the Mobile Tech app are used together
y
deployment of configuration setups and firmware updates for your StrataSync assets.
Mobile Tech collects the data from your equipment in the field and syncs the data to
StrataSync for more detailed reports and troubleshooting.
The following software is required for leakage data analysis using a Seeker Mobile
Communications Adapter (MCA):
Leakage Analysis Workshop (LAW) is software that manages the storage and retrieval
y
of leakage information collected by vehicle mounted Seeker GPS systems. Installed on a
server, it receives leakage data uploads via the Internet/LAN or Wi-Fi access point. Data
stored in LAW server may be displayed on maps or as text, used to generate leakage
work orders, or downloaded to other VIAVI or third-party applications.
NOTE:
Common leakage areas are around the tap, drop cable, and
any connection of the cable to other devices.
