Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new SubSurface Instruments, Inc. Aqua Trac™ Water Leak Detector. The Aqua Trac™ is specially designed to detect water leaks on buried pipes & conducts. This device will detect water leaks through its highly sensitive microphone and advanced technology of its control board. You have chosen a quality product that is designed for years of field use without the need for annual or periodic calibration and service.
Prepare for Use Unpack your new Aqua Trac™ Water Leak Detector. Make sure there is no shipping damage and that all parts have been included. This unit has a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, please charge for at least 5 hours before use. Note: For longer battery life and reliable operation under adverse conditions, use only supplied charger and accessories provided by SubSurface Instruments, Inc.
Technical Description Version Summary The Aqua Trac™ has all the necessary functions for the acoustic detection of water leaks in buried pipes. Through its potent ground microphone, the noises can be heard directly from the pipe as well as on the ground. The noise level is displayed on the equipment's screen in graphical form, as well as numerically. The unit identifies frequency of the audio collected which is then transmitted into the headset, this process is an intrinsical part of the whole system.
Technical Description Technical Data Sheet Type: Electronic water leak detector with electronic sensor attached to the amplifier to find water leaks on buried pipes or above ground meters & hydrants Operating frequency: 0-3000 Hz (others on request) Filters: 3 noise filters are pre-set in the unit and also can be customized by the user, allowing infinite combinations using the buttons located on the unit's control panel Amplifier: 65dB provides high performance Ingress Protection Class: IP65 rat
Operation Recognizing Differences in Sounds Practice listening, find an exposed pipe that's connected to a working faucet, place the sensor over the pipe and listen with the faucet shot off, now, open the faucet and listen to the sound of running water, you'll begin to recognize the difference between the two sounds. You should use the information displayed on the screen as a reference for frequency and noise levels.
Operation Adjusting the volume The Aqua Trac™ resets its audio to "Medium" every time the unit is turned off. When starting a new detection job, set the volume to a comfortable level by increasing or decreasing the volume with the UP and Down arrows on the Keypad. Use the Volume Indicator on the screen as a reference to determine your most comfortable volume level.
Selecting Filters Accessing the Filters To access the filters' screen, press the FILTERS Button (Left Arrow) on the keypad.
Selecting Filters Selecting Predefined Filters The Leak Detector allows you to have multiple custom frequency configurations. However, it's recommended for beginners to take advantage of the PREDEFINED FILTERS offered with the unit. The next table can be used as a reference depending on the job and conditions.
Using the Ground Microphone The Aqua Trac™ can capture the noise collected by the ground microphone. It is advisable to know the location of the pipe underneath the pavement or floor where you suspect there is a water Leak, this will shorten the time it will take to locate the leak and will eliminate the need to have other locators on hand (e.g. Pipe and Cable Locator).
Factory Service The SubSurface Instruments, Inc. Aqua Trac™ was designed for dependable operation without periodic adjustment and/or calibration. If, however, your Detection Unit is not working properly, return it to the factory for repair. A RMA (Return Material Authorization) is not required, but there is some necessary information needed to ensure your unit is repaired and returned properly. The required information may be obtained by phone, e-mail, fax or through our website.
