Introduction Permalog® Plus is the very latest in a highly successful line of permanent and semipermanent leak noise loggers. This logger can be used as both a traditional leak noise logger, and as a "drive by" logger. Permalog® Plus leak noise loggers are deployed throughout the water distribution net-work to provide continuous surveying of leakage. Each Permalog® Plus unit adapts itself automatically to its environment.
Benefits of Use Operational Benefits • 100% of distribution system permanently monitored. • Finds more leaks more quickly than traditional methods. • Responds rapidly to new mains bursts, improving service to customers. • Automates and de-skills leak surveying, eliminating human error and finding leaks that would otherwise be missed. • Eliminates "stop tap bashing" (surveying using listening sticks). • Operates independently of the size, structure or integrity of the area being monitored.
Warnings Canadian warning statement "Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Important Notes Deployment of Permalog® Plus units should be carried out in accordance with local regulations. Mishandling the logger could result in damage to the antenna (if incorrectly used to lower or raise the logger) or the sensor (connecting the logger to, or re-moving it from, the fitting). Such damage is not covered by HWM’s warranty and customers are warned that damage to the sensor in particular is unlikely to be economic to repair.
Permalog® Plus Features The Permalog® Plus logger is a fully sealed non-user serviceable unit. A hermetic seal protects the internal battery, radio module and electronics from particle or fluid ingress and is mechanically strong enough to withstand extreme environmental conditions such as ground frost, flooding, heat and humidity. The main features of the Permalog® Plus are listed below:- 1. Antenna 2. Leak Status LED 3. Lifting Hook 4. IP68 Rated Housing 5.
Deployment Ensure the screw thread for the antenna is clean, before hand-tightening the antenna to the Permalog® Plus logger. If optional lifting hooks have been purchased, please ensure these are fitted tightly. Start/reset* the Permalog® Plus logger by passing a magnet close to and across the communication LED. Successful start/reset operation is confirmed by observing the LED flash in sequence (Red, Green) after swiping. *This is the only way to reset the unit.
User Interface Permalog® Plus loggers are designed with a battery life span of up to 5* years. To achieve this the logger will spend most of its operating life in a sleep state. While in this state, all components in the logger are switched off except for the transceiver mo-dem which is polled periodically to check for a presence of a Patroller unit.
User Interface (Continued) The LED is primarily used to signify whether the logger is in leak or no leak mode. Other features indicated by the LED are: 1s Low Battery Warning: Red LED flashes every second. Logger Reset/Woken: A short sequence of red and green flashes. No Illumination: Logger is asleep or battery failure. Patroller Communication Inside each logger is a transceiver module. In normal operation the logger will pole the transceiver looking for a Patroller unit.
