1 Soundsens is a high performance, multi-point leak noisecorrelation system which combines ease of use with newstandards in leak pinpointing performance. The systemcomprises highly sensitive, self contained correlation pods,which record large amounts of sample data whendeployed in a correlator pods are completely waterproof,submersible, battery powered and will require nomaintenance for at least five years. Dedicated Windows software easily and quickly processesthis data on download through the programming/download case, providing highly accurate multiple crosscorrelations to pinpoint leaks over the full area of combination of dedicated sensor design, advanceddata sampling and storage together with powerfulprocessing software gives the highest levels ofperformance, using the speed and effectiveness of multi-point of SoundSens correlator pods can be carried to site inthree carry case sizes, containing 2, 6 or 12 podsrespectively.
2 Any number of cases can be linked togetherto enable large scale survey Automatic multi-point correlation High performance leak detection Easy deployment Rapid multiple correlations to quickly cover large areas Advanced processing and reporting software Flexible deployment for 2 to over 36 correlation pods Maintenance free for 5 years Immediate or timed deployment for unattended night work Highly sensitive equipment with digitalfiltering to enable outstanding resultsduring day workingHigh Performance multi-point CorrelationLEAK DETECTIONS oundSensSoundSensDeploymentCorrelation pods are programmedin their carry case for immediateor timed deployment. They arethen magnetically attached toavailable network fittings. Forimmediate deployment, datagathering begins after a presetinterval, units are thendownloaded and more difficult locations nightwork may be required.
3 Theloggers are deployed and begingathering data at a preset are then collected forprocessing the following is easily downloaded via thecarry case interface. Correlationanalysis can be achieved using alaptop PC in the field or on returnto an office SurveyAn area can be surveyed quicklyand easily. The softwareautomatically compares andgrades results to produce areas of interest and indicates these on apipe schematic. The sophisticatedsoftware quickly and automaticallycross correlates all sensors tocomprehensively cover a largesurvey area in seconds. Advanced DesignSoundSens systems can besupplied with two or morecorrelator pods, with an interfaceunit contained within a carry award winning designs haveresulted in a revolutionary productthat can save up to 400% of thetime normally required to find andlocate leaks ready for or more SoundSenscorrelator pods used together canfind leaks in complexinterconnected pipe networkswhere traditional correlatorscannot resolve the exact advanced digitalaccelerometer circuits andsophisticated mathematicalprocessing provides clean signalseven in difficult applications, suchas non-metallic and large featuresIn addition to functions associatedwith traditional leak noisecorrelators, Soundsens has manyadvanced Features .

Automatic grading of correlationruns with colour coding toquickly identify the best results Automatic velocity the multiple pod positionsvelocity measurements canquickly be made - essential foraccuracy when pipecharacteristics are uncertain. Automatic filtering. The PCprocessing power allows variousfilter ranges to be automaticallyscanned to select those whichgive the best result in operator enters pipe detailsquickly and easily and thenSoundSens software willautomatically calculate accurateleak position(s). A pipe schematiccan be simply clicked and draggedinto place, superimposed on top ofan imported map if analysisTraditional correlation graphics canbe viewed between any selectedloggers.
5 The operator has thesecurity of multiple correlationanalysis and the ability tosuperimpose graphs for correlationsfrom different sensors to cross-check performanceThe latest in sensor technology, withimmediate digitising and storing,high sampling rate and directtransfer for processing, gives levelsof leak detection performance notavailable through traditional leaknoise correlators. The PC processing power providesease of use, speed of analysis andmultiple graphics modes tomaximise DETECTIONHigh Performance multi-point Correlation Frequency analysis withcoherence display. If manual filteroverride is required, the signalfrequencies can be displayed toassist operator selection.
