Change the device to Power Mode when attempting to scan for partial discharges. Change the application mode as follows: Using the touchscreen, tap the Settings icon to open the main menu.
SOUND DETECTAI USER MANUAL Source Modes The device supports the following source modes: • Single-source Mode: shows only the sound source with the highest intensity (with a crosshair on top). If there are multiple sound sources with the same or almost the same intensity, they will all be shown.
SOUND DETECTAI USER MANUAL Real-time Acoustic Analysis Real-time analysis results are shown at the top of the user interface. The level in decibels of sound arriving from the strongest source (shown with a crosshair) is presented. The real-time analysis also provides additional information about problems related to the specific application.
SOUND DETECTAI USER MANUAL SELECT THE APPROPRIATE AIR MODE FILTER AND DISTANCE BEFORE CAPTURING MEDIA OR PERFORMING ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS. 8-8-1-2 Distance The intensity of sound is reduced over distance traveled; therefore, setting the distance is useful in order to counter this phenomenon and estimate the correct size of a leak.
SOUND DETECTAI USER MANUAL 8-8-1-4 Currency The currency in which to display the leak cost estimate can be selected from the available options. Be sure to update the energy cost to accurately reflect pricing. Change the currency unit as follows: Using the touchscreen, tap the Settings icon to open the main menu.
