Page 3: Introduction, Background And Support Of Product
NTRODUCTION ACKGROUND AND UPPORT OF RODUCT Thank you for choosing an HWM data device. We trust it will provide you with many years of service. 1.1 S AFETY Before continuing, please read the “Safety Warnings and Approvals Information” document supplied with the product (MAN-130-0013). 1.2 B ACKGROUND Pipeline leaks are a constant burden to the water industry, which can affect the... -
Page 4: Overview
VERVIEW 2.1 L OGGER EVICE VERVIEW Note: PermaLog+ and PCorr+ will both sometimes be referred to as “device”, “logger” or “logger device” within this document. The Permalog+ product family and PCorr+ product family are Leak Noise detectors built by HWM. The equipment’s primary and repetitive function is to detect the presence of a leak in a pipe network. -
Page 5: System Overview
The sound recording can be up to 20 seconds in duration. It can be made automatically when the logger encounters a new suspected leak. The sound file can be downloaded from the device and used to confirm whether the sound from within the pipe does resemble the sound produced by a leak. -

Required for mobile phone app: • o An internet connection (via the mobile network), o An account and password for the HWM DataGate system. 2.3 L – R OGGER EVICE ADIO The loggers are designed to conserve energy use wherever possible in order to prolong the life of the battery, which is not rechargeable. -

2.5 L – (R ) - A & R OGGER EVICE ESET CTIVATING OGGER ADIO OMMS The loggers are shipped from the factory to the user in a “deep-sleep” mode (also called shipping mode) to conserve battery life. They need to be activated before use (i.e. They do not operate until the user has reset them by swiping them). -
Page 8: Logger Device - Leak-State Evaluation
2.7 L OGGER EVICE TATE VALUATION The Leak-state evaluation program takes place between 2-4am (although it can be changed). Typically, it is made during a time of low water use to reduce the possibility of water use by consumers being judged as a leak. During this time if the logger determines a change of leak state the logger carries out a secondary confirmation evaluation. -
Page 9: Logger Device - Scheduled Sound Recording (Pcorr+ Only)
logger will permit the sound recording to be over-written the next time a no-leak to leak transition occurs. The situation of a logger requiring a “no-leak to leak transition” to initiate an automatic recording would be problematic to a mobile logger, also known as a “lift-and-shift” device, since these regularly change location. -
Page 10: Logger Installation And Removal
The loggers are available as a standard unit (with an antenna), or versions • without an antenna connector (known as Lift and Shift models). Lift and Shift models have an internal antenna and therefore less radio range. (Regular models can also be programmed for “lift and shift” style of use). PCorr+ can make a sound recording. -
Page 11: Examples Of Product Use
XAMPLES OF RODUCT The logger devices have at least 3 different modes of use: Logger devices used for investigations. • Temporarily installed (mobile) devices. • (also known as “Lift and Shift” logger devices). Permanently installed devices. • 4.1 L OGGERS USED FOR NVESTIGATIONS These loggers can be deployed to (or indeed may already be installed on) sites that have a suspected leak near them which is now under investigation. -
Page 12: Setup For Correlation Recordings - Method 1
Correlation requires that the loggers simultaneously record the sound from various points along the pipeline. Since the correlation process is very sensitive to time differences between the devices, the recording and the collection of the sound file must occur within a day (before the clock of each device has drifted far from its original accuracy). -
Page 13: Mobile (Lift And Shift) Loggers
4.3 M OBILE IFT AND HIFT OGGERS Devices used in this way are typically deployed at a site, left over-night for the leak evaluation to occur, and then collected from the sites on the following day. Radio range is not an issue, as the loggers are removed from their installation sites; this allows the data to be collected at a short-range. -
Page 14: Troubleshooting
ROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 L OGGER EVICE IRMWARE PGRADE The logger devices can have the internal program (firmware) upgraded over the radio-link. The process should only be undertaken if advised by HWM. The facility to do this may not be implemented on all apps. Firmware changes require a special cable fixture to minimise problems due to radio interference, etc. - Page 15 Fluid Conservation Systems 1960 Old Gatesburg Road Ste 150 State College, PA 6803 (800)531-5465 sales@fluidconservation.com ©HWM-Water Limited.
