  • Page 9: Intended Usage And Principle Of Operation

    This is how fibre cement and metal pipes are principally detected. The COMBIPHON system consists of the Generator G5 central control unit, the AC/DC adapter L, a car cable L as well as vari- ous oscillators (Knocker, Stopper).
  • Page 10 2 Intended usage and principle of operation The Stopper creates a pressure wave by rapidly opening and clos- ing the flow to the pipe. Main pipes (water) require more energy to be placed under oscillation. The water column is set in motion by extracting water from a hydrant.

    3 COMBIPHON system COMBIPHON system The following describes the various system components as well as their intended usage. The described system elements are laid out in the carrying case so that they can be easily removed for use and stowed away as well as operated from the case itself.
  • Page 12: Generator G5

    3 COMBIPHON system Generator G5 The Generator G5 is located on the left of the carrying case. It is an integral part of the carrying case and cannot be removed. The control elements of the generator are used to set the frequency (see Picture 3) and the intensity of the impulse used for detec- tion.
  • Page 13: Loading The Battery

    3 COMBIPHON system Loading the Battery Note: To maintain the device in continuous operation, it should always be connected to an external power source (e.g., via the car cable L). Detailed information In buffer mode the battery is not charged, only monitored.
  • Page 14: Ac/Dc Adapter L

    3 COMBIPHON system The remote control allows the intensity (Knocker) to be adjusted. It is not possible to adjust the intensity beyond that defined by the position of the adjuster on the generator. Therefore, to achieve the maximum intensity at the Knocker via the remote control, the intensity adjuster must also be rotated fully clockwise.
  • Page 15: Car Cable L

    3 COMBIPHON system Car cable L The car cable L is located in the carrying case in the compartment to the right of the generator (see Picture 1), below the AC/DC adapter L. It is used to supply the Generator G5 via the supplied AC/DC adapter L or a car battery.
  • Page 16: Knocker

    4 Knocker Knocker The Knocker is located on the right-hand side of the carrying case. This device is an oscillator which places service pipes under os- cillation. For more detailed information about pipe and leakage detection, refer to the operating instructions of the receiver (e.g., AQUAPHON).
  • Page 17: Knocker - Starting And Operating

    4 Knocker Knocker – Starting and operating Carry out the following steps to put the Knocker into operation. Using the chain attachment, attach the Knocker to the pipe whose course is to be located. Connect the Knocker to the Generator G5. Switch on the Generator G5 using the ON/OFF switch (see Picture 3) on the generator’s control panel.

    4 Knocker Maintaining the Knocker Note: Repairs* to the device should be performed by SEWERIN Service or by a competent person. Re- habilitation* are to be carried out using only original SEWERIN spare parts. CAUTION! The connectors of the oscillator and the AC/DC adapter L are to be connected to the Generator G5 in a dry and clean state.
  • Page 19: Stopper

    5 Stopper Stopper The Stopper is a separate system component that is not stored in the carrying case (see Picture 2). The Stopper creates a pressure wave by rapidly opening and closing the pipe. Main pipes (water) require more energy to be placed under oscillation.
  • Page 20: Stopper - Starting And Operating

    Note: Comply fully with the following instructions when starting and operating the Stopper. Note that Her- mann Sewerin GmbH cannot be held liable for dam- age caused by non-compliance. Connect the standpipe with the flushing adapter to the hydrant under professional guidance. Always flush out the hydrant and the pipeline to prevent contamination and foreign particles from collecting inside the device.

    5 Stopper Working with the Stopper The following provides a few instructions and tips that will make your work with the Stopper easier. Detection can be significantly influenced by the following fac- tors: Ground surface Soil density Background noises When adjusting the intensity of the impulse, take the local condi- tions into consideration.

    5 Stopper Maintaining the Stopper Particles in the water can cause the plunger in the Stopper to jam. If this occurs, clean the plunger. Proceed as follows to clean the Stopper: Cleaning the Stopper plunger and cylinder: Unscrew the socket head screws on the front of the Stopper using the supplied Allen key.
  • Page 23 5 Stopper Cleaning the Stopper’s intensity adjustment: Unscrew the socket head screws on the front of the Stopper using the supplied Allen key. Withdraw the valve carefully. Withdraw the pusher carefully. Flush out the valve, pusher and housing thoroughly with water. Feed the pusher and valve carefully back into the housing.

    5 Stopper Important notes on use and care The stopper is part of the COMBIPHON system. Even under nor- mal operating conditions it is exposed to high mechanical loads and therefore subject to substantial wear and tear. The extent of...
  • Page 25: Troubleshooting

    6 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting General The oscillator generates no signal Possible cause Is the generator switched on? Solution Switch on the Generator G5 (turn ON/OFF switch clockwise). Possible cause Is the oscillator connected to the genera- tor? Solution Check whether the oscillator’s connection cable is connected to the generator.
  • Page 26: Stopper

    6 Troubleshooting Stopper No signal can be detected Possible cause The intensity set on the Stopper is prob- ably too weak. Solution Select a stronger intensity on the Stopper. The stopper does not move Possible cause The plunger in the Stopper is jammed due to particles in the water.
