Function descriptionHow it works

The ORTOMAT-MTC is an acoustic measurement device for detecting leaks in pressurised water pipes. A vibraphone picks up noises from the water pipes under inspection (24 hours). Correlation technology can be used to accurately detect the leak site between two measurement devices. The measurement results are automatically sent to the server at the set times. The evaluated data is available online in HYDROPORT at all times. Here, noise level results and correlatable audio files are available to the user.

The loudest noises reveal the location of the leak.

Power is supplied to the measure-ment device by batteries.

Measuring principle

The measurement device records the noises which are produced at the measuring point for 24 hours, with the times in which little water is consu-med being checked in particular (main measurement). The measurement device records the leak noises in the pipeline network using the highly sen-sitive vibraphone. Correlatable audio files are also recorded in addition to the noise levels in order to precisely detect leak sites.

11

Data transfer (see fig . 2)

Data is transferred from the measure-ment device to the web server com-pletely automatically. Newly detected leak sites can be reported immedia-tely. To transfer the data, the measu-rement device accesses the existing broadband mobile networks, and no radio repeaters or wireless networks need to be set up. Likewise, the mea-surement devices no longer have to be removed for reprogramming and for firmware updates. Instead, they can be converted or updated cent-rally by the server using over-the-air programming (OTA/FOTA). Potential reprogramming of the measurement device via OAT must be performed by an expert.

PreparationsSelecting the measuring points

INFORMATION

The measuring points must have a large quantity of pipe material to monitor (T-piece/crosspiece).

Do not use any dead-end branch pipes if possible.

Maintain a distance from measure-ment device to measurement device of approximately 200 m for metallic pipelines and approximately 100 m for plastic pipelines.

The acoustic measurement on the water pipe can be taken at various measuring points:

�Gate valve (access cover)

�Hydrant

�Shaft with direct access to the pipe

�Service supply

The vibraphone (24) (noise sensor) should have an optimum mechanical connection to the pipeline.

Antenna installation

Depending on the selected measuring location, different types of antenna and different installation types can or must be used:

�Figure A: Access cover

– The rod antenna supplied (antenna item 20982 [GSM/UMTS antenna, dipole 1/4 flex, SMAm]) is connec-ted to the measurement device itself.

12

�Figure B: Access cover in asphalt

– A rod antenna (antenna item 20999 [GSM/UMTS antenna λ½ for drill hole]) is connected to the measurement device using a cable and then guided through a wall opening and an external anten-na drill hole upwards at an angle towards the street. The antenna should be positioned as high as possible. The drill hole is sealed from the outside with asphalt emulsion.

�Figure C: Shaft in meadow

– A rod antenna (antenna item 20999 [GSM/UMTS antenna λ½ for drill hole]) is connected to the measurement device using a cable, guided outwards through a wall duct in the shaft and laid in a gravel bed.

�Figure D: Antenna integrated into access cover

– The standard access cover can be replaced by a plastic access cover with integrated antenna (antenna item 20998 [fibreglass gate valve cover with antenna]).

�Figure E: Antenna emitter on shaft wall

– The antenna (antenna item 20987 [GSM/UMTS antenna for wall mounting, 5 m cable]) can be installed in a manhole using a wall-mounting component.

�Figure F: External antenna post

– The antenna (antenna item 20987 [GSM/UMTS antenna for wall mounting, 5 m cable]) is guided outwards and secured to the ground using a pole mount.

Replacing the batteries

Unit provides internal lithium battery with connector. This battery is repla-ceable and in operator access area. For permitted types, refer to the secti-on entitled „Technical specifications“.

CAUTION

Damage to electronic compo-nents .

Incorrect set-up of the power supply for the measurement device may cause damage to electronic components and other parts of the device.

► Make sure that the polarity of the connector is correct when inserting the batteries.

INFORMATION

The batteries must only be replaced by an expert in a protected environ-ment.

– Open the battery compartment cover (7) on the measurement device.

– Remove the old batteries (8).

– Insert new batteries and connect the battery connector, ensuring that its polarity is correct.

– Close the battery compartment cover on the measurement device. When closing the battery cover, ensure that the O-ring is correctly fitted. The sealing sur-face on the O-ring must not be dirty or damaged.

Programming the measurement device

– The measurement device is sup-plied already preprogrammed.

– Changes to operating parame-ters are sent to the measurement devices via the server, with this only being performed by the ma-nufacturer or authorised service points.

Preparing the measuring point

To achieve optimum and reliable measuring results, the following points must be noted during installation of the measurement device:

– Clean the support point for the vibraphone (24).

– Check the vibraphone (24) and clean if necessary.

– Check that the section of pipeline is in operation.

– There must be enough space in the area around the measuring point to allow the vibraphone (24) and antenna (23) to be positioned fully on or at/properly connec-ted to the area under inspection. Check whether there is enough space and adjust if necessary.

– Document the position number (9) and location of the measurement device.

14

Preparing the measurement device for use

– Check the antenna installation, see the section entitled „Antenna installation“.

– Check the support point for the vibraphone (24).

– Connect the vibraphone to the connection (6) on the measure-ment device.

– Connect the antenna (23) to the connection (5) on the measure-ment device.

– Always activate the measurement device once using a magnet be-fore installing it in a shaft (see the section entitled „Magnetic control function“). This deactivates a transport cutout if one is fitted. A test function is additionally initiated.

– Check that the battery cover is securely fitted.

– Fit the magnetic adapter (22) to the installation position (3) of the measurement device.

INFORMATION

When used in a deep shaft, the measurement device must be in-stalled as high as possible, near the cover. It may be necessary to guide the vibraphone to the support point via an extension cable.

Prevent the measurement device from falling into the shaft.

If a vibraphone cable longer than 45 cm is used, an FM adapter cable (30 cm) must be connected bet-ween the measurement device and vibraphone cable.

– The FM antenna integrated into the vibraphone cable (24) should always be positioned as high as possible in the shaft. The connec-tor sockets (5 and 6) should face upwards towards the shaft opening.

INFORMATION

At the measuring point, define the FM radio channel with the best reception for the location. All measurement devices in the same system must use the same FM radio channel.

The FM radio channel can be adjusted after installation via OTA programming.

15

UseTaking the measurement

The leak noises are measured and data relating to them is transferred fully automatically.

The data is evaluated in a separate web-based visualisation system called HYDROPORT.

Magnetic control function

The magnetic control function is used to activate measurement and trans-mission mode. This can be used to deactivate a transport cutout if this was activated when the device was supplied.

With this activation, a full test proce-dure with subsequent data transfer to the FTP server will additionally take place. The data can be evaluated by an expert engineer at a later point.

– Place a magnet directly on the ORTOMAT-MTC on the magnet symbol (10) for approximately one second. The LED in the IR glass (4) flashes once every se-cond until the activation process is complete.

The activation and test process is ended automatically after 2-3 minu-tes. The LED in the IR glass (4) stops flashing.
