If the battery voltage drops below 10 V and there is no external power supply, the CG 50 generator will switch to standby mode. In standby mode the current is less than 7 mA, and all the LEDs will go out. 2 COMBIPHON system │...
CG 50 generator The CG 50 generator is permanently integrated in the case and cannot be removed (fig. 1). There is an optional remote control available for the CG 50 gen- erator. Controls and displays For an overview including the names of all the controls and dis- plays, see the front cover flap (fig.
Locating with the tapper The tapper causes pipelines to vibrate, which enables the line to be located. For the location process itself an appropriate system for acoustic leak detection must be used (e.g. AQUAPHON system). The tapper can be used with gas and water pipes up to 120 mm in diameter.
5. To optimally adjust the pulses to the individual conditions, initially turn the intensity adjuster and frequency adjuster to- wards the centre. 6. Start locating the pipeline. ● While doing so, gradually adjust the intensity and frequency of the emitted pulses on the CG 50 generator until they suit the local conditions.
Locating pipelines with the stopper The stopper is an optional accessory for the COMBIPHON sys- tem. The stopper is designed for use on water mains. The stopper can be connected to: ● DIN above-ground hydrants ● DIN underground hydrants in conjunction with a standpipe...
Using the stopper to locate pipes Note: This section explains how to use the stopper at an underground hydrant with a standpipe. If the hydrant is above ground, connect the stopper directly. Proceed as follows to use the stopper to locate pipes: 1.
After location Once you have completed the location process: 1. Switch off the CG 50 generator. 2. Close the shut-off valve on the hydrant. 3. Disconnect the connection cable of the stopper from the CG 50 generator. 4. Remove the stopper from the hydrant. If using on an underground hydrant: a) Remove the stopper from the standpipe.
Cleaning the stopper To ensure the functionality of the stopper, thoroughly clean and dry the stopper after every use. Fig. 6: Components of the stopper 1 Front with screws, 2 Cylinder with piston, 3 Housing, 4 Intensity adjuster Proceed as follows: 1.

d) Thoroughly rinse the intensity adjuster, slide gate and housing with low-lime or distilled water. e) Thoroughly dry the intensity adjuster and slide gate. Allow the housing to air-dry. f) Re-insert the slide gate and intensity adjuster. g) Secure the screws with lock washers again so that they are equally tight.
CG 50 generator with remote control (optional) The CG 50 generator can also be operated with a remote control. The remote control is available as an optional accessory.
