Page 6: Operator Guidance
Bmic Operator Guidance: Background information for effective acoustic leak detection All acoustic leak detection methods are based on the premise that normal water passage through pipelines takes place noiselessly. When the water passage is disturbed a noise is created. Causes can include partial pipe blockages, sudden changes in pipe diameter, abrupt changes in pipe direction, pumps or meters installed in the pipeline, consumer usage or pipeline damage. - Page 7 Select the most suitable sensor device; the microphone foot for hard ground surfaces or the hand probe for soft ground. Press the trigger to operate the Bmic and adjust the headphone volume control to a comfortable listening level. Once you have listened to the noise through the headphones, release the trigger to switch off the amplifier and move the microphone foot or hand probe to the next test position.
