3.10.4 User Guide A quick user manual is available on the User Guide menu. Using this menu, you can find how the device works, if you didn’t access to the user manual.
Leak Detection Instruction 4 LEAK DETECTION INSTRUCTIONS When a pipe carrying water has a leak, water tends to spurt out of the leak point and, in general, generates the following four types of sound: Water flow sound Impact sound Friction sound Pipe vibration sound Combined, these sounds constitute the leakage sound.
Leak Detection Instruction 4.2 The Relationship between Propagation Distance and Leak Noise Intensity Pipes made of different materials have different noise propagation rates. For instance, with metal pipes, the leak noise fades after traveling a longer distance, while with a polyethylene pipe, the said distance is considerably shorter.
Leak Detection Instruction 4.4 Key Facts about Water Leak Noise These are some known facts about water leak noise: Size of leakage: Larger → Louder Type of leakage Source: Crack → Louder than holes and faulty connections Water pressure: Higher → Louder Pipe Material: Metallic →...

Therefore, the user tends to hear louder noises in the headphones and see larger horizontal signal bar-graphs. In the PERIJA Plus™, minimum received signals are examined and compared in different areas in order to eliminate unwanted impact noises as well as those generated by ambient sounds such as human speech, vehicles, etc.

Leak Detection Instruction The charger and sensor connectors plug smoothly into their respective ports and cannot fit into any other ports as they have different numbers of pins. Therefore, do not use force to plug them into the wrong ports. Always use the device in accordance with the included user guide.
Note that PERIJA Plus stores projects based on their date and time characteristics. PERIJA Plus can store 20 projects (with the capacity of 2000 points) in each day. The total capacity of its memory is 30 days (i.e. it can store up to 600 projects data).
