User's Manual

In challenging environments, the user can choose to
modify the distance parameters manually. If the camera
analytics recognize challenging environments, the display
screen will make the user aware of the situation. The +
and - buttons can be used to select the distance that you
estimate to be the most accurate.
5.3 Specific settings
The following settings specific to leak detection are available:
Leak unit: Adjust the unit of measurement used to display
the estimated leak size. The available options are liters per
minute (l/min) and cubic feet per minute (CFM).
Currency: Select the currency for the leak cost estimate
from the available options.
Energy cost: If the leak cost estimate for compressed
air leaks is based on energy costs, you must enter the
applicable price of energy here. This usually means the
local price per kWh of electricity. Please note that if the
currency is changed, the energy price must be updated
accordingly.
Cost calculation: The estimated cost of a leak can be
calculated based either on the energy cost or the cost per
volume unit. Select the option you prefer and then enter
either of these corresponding costs.
Env. temp.: The environmental (i.e. ambient) temperature
affects how the sound from a leak propagates through air.
Specify the temperature to get the most accurate leak size
estimate. The temperature can be entered either in °C or °F.
Rel. humidity: The relative humidity of the surrounding
environment affects how the sound from a leak
propagates through air. Specify the relative humidity to
get the most accurate leak size estimate.
Leak corr.: The LF10’s leak size estimate is based on
a large set of various measured leaks. In some cases,
however, it might underestimate the leak size or in
other cases overestimate the leak size, as the leak size
depends on a large number of different variables. If
the leak size estimate systematically differs from your
own observations, you can adjust it by setting the leak
correction (leak corr.) factor. The final leak size estimation
on the screen will be multiplied by the specified leak
correction factor.
Specific power: The specific power is a measure of how
much energy is needed to produce a certain amount of
compressed air. The unit of measurement is either kW/
m³/min or kW/100 CFM. This option is for advanced
users, so leave it at the default value if you do not know
the specific power of your compressed air system.
Utilization: The leak cost calculation allows you to select
the intervals that the compressed air system is in use:
e.g. only workdays, excluding weekends. By entering
the hours, days, and/or weeks of use, you can describe
how oen the equipment is being used in practice. The
resultant utilization figure will be taken into account as
afactor in leak cost calculations.
Non-air leak detection: The air mode can be changed
to non-air leak detection. The user can manually pick
the analytics options to be implemented and displayed
by the camera. Under the Settings menu, press on the
Leak Mode Settings where you can then select Leak Type
to see the available options. Recommended only for
advanced users.
