Leakomatic Pro1 User Manual page 4

Leakomatic determines different flows depending on flow volume and time:
PULSE INDICATOR
When the water flows slower than 1 ml/s or less than 10 seconds.
I.e. filling a glass of water, brushing teeth
FLOW INDICATOR
When the water flows at least 1ml/s and for a time longer than 10 seconds. Examples:
shower, flushing the toilet, washing the car. In addition, repeated periods of water
consumption shorter than 10 seconds are added together to give a continuous flow,
if a new flow starts within 1 second of the previous flow ending.
LEAKAGE TESTS
Leakomatic has three leakage tests whose purpose is to detect different types of leaks.
Their limits and settings can be adjusted in the settings menu. The factory settings are
suitable for most households; however, if your water consumption is above average, you
can adjust the set values to allow longer flow times.
FLOW TEST
Protects from flow leakage by ensuring that the water does not flow longer
than the set time. Home and Away modes can be set at different flow times.
QUICK TEST
Reacts to sudden drip leakage. In real time, the Quick test calculates an
index that is based on the pulse indication over the past 60 minutes.
The index has a similar function to the trend indicator; rising index
indicates increased level of consumption whereas declining index
indicates decreased level of consumption.
TIGHTNESS TEST
Long-term analysis can protect your home form hidden leaks. Every hour,
the device analyses the pulse indication of the past 24 hours. A water tight
piping system must have at least one pulseless period of time during an
analysis period.
The Leakomatic system warns if the leakage test detects any kind of a problem.
If the problem is not solved, the system automatically shuts off water and sounds an
alarm. As an exception, when Away mode is on, no flow warning will be given before
shutting off water.
Do not turn off your water supply unless the property is left empty for longer periods
of time. To work correctly, the tightness test requires a constantly available supply of
water; otherwise the test will not be able to detect hidden leaks.
