Page 3: System Overview
1. System overview 1.1. ORTOMAT leak detection system With their permanent leak monitoring system, ORTOMAT units are fitted to the water supply to enable the water main system (including the supply pipes) to be checked for leak sounds on a large-scale basis. -
Page 4: Ortomat-Lc Datalogger
1.2. ORTOMAT-LC datalogger The ORTOMAT-LC datalogger is the central measuring unit of the monitoring system. The unit has the following basic function: each night, it analyses the vibrations in the area it monitors and, when a measuring phase has been completed, it decides whether there is a leak or not. - Page 5 Test mode In this operating mode, the logger is put into online mode, in which the sounds measured are transmitted live straight to an ORTOMAT controller. The unit can be used similar to the way in which a vonRoll LeakPEN/LOG1A (listening unit) is used, but without acoustic signal...
-
Page 6: Ortomat Controller
The purpose of the ORTOMAT controller is to export data remotely in the field. However, this is only possible if the ORTOMAT-LC datalogger is within the radio reception radius and is listed in the ORTOMAT controller’s logger list when data is exported in transmission mode. -
Page 7: Menu „Read-Out List
1.3.1. Menu „read-out list“ From software version 4.5.1 and higher, the ORTOMAT-controller is capable of generating a special read-out list. This list provides an overview of which logger list entries are / aren’t read out on the current day. Proceed: 1. -
Page 8: Pc Software
1.4. PC software ORTOMAT PC software is used for the central administration of all the measuring points used in the system. In addition, the measurements read out can be displayed and archived using the software. All commonly used Microsoft operating systems (from WIN95 to VISTA) are supported. -
Page 9: Ortomat Pc Software
2. ORTOMAT PC software 2.1. Installing and restarting the software To install the software, insert the ORTOMAT software CD in the CD drive of the PC workstation. Installation will start automatically please follow the instructions. 2.1.1. Device drivers The ORTOMAT controller and the RFID interface are connected to the PC via a USB interface and therefore need a device driver. - Page 10 3. Following the installation of the ORTOMAT software, the device drivers required are placed in the programme folder C:\ORTOMAT 4. At the Windows logo test, select “Continue with Installation” 5. The USB device driver has been correctly installed For an installation on Windows 7 operating system, a special connection assistant will be started.

Page 11: Starting The Software
2.2. Starting the software Start the ORTOMAT software by double-clicking the icon that is automatically created on the Windows Desktop. 2.2.1. Opening a logger list The ORTOMAT software will ask for a logger list when first opened. At this point, either the logger list for the system supplied on the CD can be used or a new list must be compiled. -
Page 12: Ortomat Logger List
The ORTOMAT logger list is used for the central administration and description of all the measuring points used. It is saved as an “*.ort” file. Normal ORTOMAT dataloggers and ORTOMAT-LC dataloggers can be mixed in a logger list. List entries are marked indicate the type. -
Page 13: Registering New Dataloggers On The List
2.3.2. Registering new dataloggers on the list There are two ways to register a datalogger in an existing list: 1. Connect the new datalogger directly to the PC software and carry out the instructions that follow. 2. Register the new datalogger according to the section File -> Insert Logger without Establishing Connection (see page 14) 2.3.3. -
Page 14: Main Menu
2.4. Main menu File Display Sorting Settings The logger list can be opened from the menu. 2.4.1. File -> Open Apart from ‘Find’, the menu item ‘Open’ also has a list of the 6 most recently opened files. -
Page 15: File -> Print
2.4.7. File -> Print Prints out the logger list; larger lists may cover several pages. 2.4.8. Displays Normally all the loggers are displayed in the logger list. To make lengthy lists easy to understand, the scope of display can, however, be restricted. For example: I only want to show the exported dataloggers of a part-export from this week Only display the data imported from the last 1 day... -
Page 16: Sorting
2.4.9. Sorting To gain a good overview of the logger-list entries, these can be sorted by the text rows of the location description. Sorting is done alphabetically, empty spaces are ignored and numbers are correctly aligned. It is therefore a good idea to develop the entries in a logger list logically to allow the rows to be sorted alphabetically. -
Page 17: Settings
2.4.10. Settings The Settings menu is used for the basic definition of certain displays in software, logger and controller operating modes. 2.4.10.1. ORTOMAT settings The desired language can be selected here. The program (but not the computer) must be restarted whenever the language is changed. If a GSM list is active, the SMS language setting is also displayed. -
Page 18: Measurement Graphics
2.4.11. [X] Closes the software and shuts down the software window. When the software is restarted, the logger list last opened is automatically displayed again. 2.5. Measurement graphics The measurement graphics display the leak data of the measurement point selected in the logger list. -
Page 19: Deleting Measurements
2.5.1. Deleting measurements Click the right mouse button on the measurement chart -> “Delete All Data” However, measurements can only be deleted when the corresponding datalogger is connected to the software. See the section Deleting measurements in the logger on page 22 2.5.2. -
Page 20: Programming The Ortomat Datalogger
3. Programming the ORTOMAT datalogger 3.1. RFID interface An RFID interface is required to connect an ORTOMAT-LC datalogger to a PC. This is a special readout adapter that can communicate with the unit over a short distance (approximately 2 cm). The datalogger need not therefore be opened to communicate with a PC. -
Page 21: Importing The Measurements
3.3. Importing the measurements After establishing connection, the datalogger connected is highlighted in green in the logger list on the left and the leak graphic that goes with the measuring point is displayed in the lower part. Clicking on the button “Import Data” transfers the most recent measurements from the datalogger straight to the software and displays it. -
Page 22: Deleting Measurements In The Logger
3.3.1. Deleting measurements in the logger The measurements saved in the logger can only be deleted when it is connected to a PC. Click the right-hand mouse button on the datalogger graphic and select “Delete All Data”. When deleting the measurements, the parameters defined in the “ORTOMAT settings”... -
Page 23: Measuring Time
The operating mode defined here for the ORTOMAT datalogger is written to the logger when the button “Programme Data” is clicked. an additional “Bootloader” window is displayed. If data transmission is not successfully concluded, the corresponding error message will be displayed in a red window. -
Page 24: Transmission Time
3.4.2. Transmission time This is where we define when and how the logger switches on the transmitter for the radio data readout. The transmitter can only be switched on for a limited time so as not to put too great a strain on the internal battery of the logger. -
Page 25: Magnet Control Function
3.4.4. Magnet control function The radio transmission mode can be influenced, if a magnet is held on top. The transmitter can be switched in different modes: time (magnet held on top) 10 Sek 20 Sek 30 Sek During the first 10 During the next 20 seconds, the The radio signal is seconds, the ORTOMAT... -
Page 26: Leak Threshold/Filters/Zero Level
3.4.6. Leak threshold/filters/zero level The datalogger can be operated with 2 different filter settings, each of which has two threshold values. 1st filter set at Steel (300Hz - 5kHz) - low sensitivity (e.g. leak threshold at 20) - high sensitivity (e.g. - Page 27 A new “Signal processing” window is opened. Threshold value "low sensitivity" Threshold value "high sensitivity" for leak decision YES/NO for leak decision YES/NO Example: The measuring point shown is programmed with a steel/low filter. This means that according to the settings above, it will switch to LEAK from a level of 20. A threshold value of 10 is used if you switch over in the “Processing Window”...

“Low sensitivity”. 3.4.7. LED settings ORTOMAT-LC dataloggers provide the opportunity for communicating their leak data not only via the 433 MHz radio signal, but also for flashing the leak data using integral LEDs in a simplified form of data export. -
Page 29: Programming The Ortomat Controller
4. Programming the ORTOMAT controller 4.1. Connecting the controller Prior to connecting an ORTOMAT controller for the first time, the corresponding device driver must be installed see the section on Device drivers on page 9. If the controller is connected to a PC using a USB connecting cable, this can be set by pressing the ON button in communication mode. -
Page 30: Programming Parameters Into The Controller
4.3. Programming parameters into the controller The ORTOMAT controller must be reprogrammed to change the following two things: 4.3.1. Loading a changed or new logger list The ORTOMAT controller can only receive the datalogger that has been included in its list. If a new measuring point is therefore added to the system, it must first be inserted into the existing logger list (see the section on Registering new dataloggers on the list on page13) and this must then be programmed into the controller.
