Page 6: Operation
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3. OPERATION The Special Conditions for Safe Use detailed in section 9 ATEX APPENDIX must be observed and followed at all times. 3.1. TURN ON SEQUENCE To turn the unit on simply press and hold the control button until the company logo appears on the display and then release, this takes approximately 5 seconds. -
Page 7: Detection Mode 0
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3.2. DETECTION MODE 0 Whilst in DETECTION MODE 0 nothing is visible on the display itself however the LEDs around the perimeter of the window will flash once every 5 seconds to indicate that the unit is alive and waiting in this mode for a pig passage. -
Page 8: Single Button Menu Interface
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3.3. SINGLE BUTTON MENU INTERFACE While in DETECTION MODE 0, the control button can be pressed at any point to enter the menu interface. While in the menu interface, the unit will ignore all pig passages. From the menus the user can configure several parameters which are discussed in this section. -
Page 9: Delete All Events
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3.3.3. DELETE ALL EVENTS Accessed from DETECTION MODE 0. Selecting this item will display the message *WARNING* PRESS TO ERASE ALL EVENTS. If the user wishes to delete all logged data then they should press the switch once before the counter reaches zero. If they do not wish to erase all logged data then simply allow the counter to reach zero without pressing the switch. -
Page 10: Set Detect Count
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3.3.11. SET DETECT COUNT Accessed from SETUP MODE 1. DETECT COUNT controls how easy or hard it is for the unit to be triggered. It is available as a setting to allow the unit to discriminate between a pig passage and a spurious loss of signal caused by for example gas bubbles passing the transducer. -
Page 11: Set Trig Delay
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3.3.16. SET TRIG DELAY Accessed from SETUP MODE 1. This option sets a time delay after detection. As the unit will detect debris and gas being pushed in front of the PIG, the unit continues to monitor the pipe for a PIG passage during the TRIG DELAY period. -
Page 12: Setup Mode 1
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3.4. SETUP MODE 1 The figure below shows the flow diagram for SETUP MODE 1. This mode is used to configure the units various parameters and calibrate the unit to a particular pipe. The main screen shows the actual waveform which the unit is processing and examining. In this mode the unit is shooting 10 times per second. -
Page 13: Zoom And Ruler
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3.4.1. ZOOM AND RULER The ruler along the bottom of the screen allows the user to visually measure the diameter of a pipeline by observing the position of any reflections along the ruler. The user can select one of 4 zoom levels which will show rulers of length 40cm, 80cm, 160cm or 320cm. -

ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 3.6. DETECTION ALGORITHM This section gives a brief description of the detection algorithm used to enable the user to make more educated changes to the detection parameters. Refer to the figure below to understand the basic decisions and actions which are taken to detect a pig passage. There are... -
Page 16: Installation
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 4. INSTALLATION The Special Conditions for Safe Use detailed in section 9 ATEX APPENDIX must be observed and followed at all times. In order to effectively install and calibrate the unit to a particular pipeline the pipeline should be filled with an acoustically transparent fluid at the time of installation (single phase, no gas bubbles, no large solid particles). -
Page 17: Transducer Installation
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 4.2. TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION For optimum results ensure that the pipeline surface at the point of installation is uniform, clean and smooth. If the surface is irregular, corroded, or has flaking paint then abrasive paper or a wire brush should be used to prepare the surface. The unit will operate effectively through most painted layers as long as they are clean, uniform and are fully bonded to the pipeline surface. -
Page 18: Parameter Setup
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 4.3. PARAMETER SETUP Every time the unit is installed on a pipeline this setup procedure should be followed. For the following example let’s assume we know the external diameter of the pipe is 24” so we should expect to see a detected diameter of around 61cm. -
Page 19: Recommended Maintenance
ONLINE ELECTRONICS LTD 5. RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE The Special Conditions for Safe Use detailed in section 9 ATEX APPENDIX must be observed and followed at all times. Frequent inspections should be made. A schedule for maintenance checks should be generated according to the environment and frequency of use but should be regular enough to ensure the equipment continues to operate in the designed manner. -
