The user's listening and experience becomes very important when it comes to leak detection in water pipes by electro-acoustic method. This is best supported by the ongoing quality of microphone and measurement technology of the AQUAPHON® system, the intelligent analysis functions and the practical visual presentation of the results on the screen.

The most reliable locator ever
This is the most advanced system; It offers comfortable, cordless easy use, versatile, robust and ergonomic design. The AQUAPHON® system is ideal for both pre-detection and pinpointing of leaks, for you to be confident before excavation. It is suitable for all types of difficult leak detection and helps you locate leaks confidently and reliably.

Measuring principle
Water flowing out of the leak causes vibration in the pipeline material. These vibrations are transmitted along the line and can be collected as noise at a distance from the exit point, for example from contact points such as a valve on the installation. These vibrations are also transmitted from floor to surface as ground source noise, although they are muffled. The AQUAPHON® system is an excellent assistant partner that makes these vibrations audible to the human ear, records them, and also visually displays the frequency spectrum and intensity on its screen.

Preliminary detection of leaks
The TS 200 carrying rod with the TM 200 contact microphone connected is placed at the pipe contact point and the sound intensity is evaluated. By determining and comparing the values, it is determined in which part of the pipeline there is a leak.

Leak spot detection
The ground microphone BM 200 (for coated surfaces) or BM 230 (for uncoated surfaces) is used for sound intensity analysis in a pre-detected defined area. For this, one of the ground microphones connected to the TS200 carrying rod is followed on the pipeline by listening at short intervals. The place where the density is maximum is easily found thanks to the acoustic signal and visual display. Now you can safely dig.

Flexible, versatile use:

• Thanks to the high protection class of the AQUAPHON® A 200 receiver, you are on the safe side even in extreme environmental conditions. The receiver is dirt and moisture proof. The TM 200 touch microphone (IP68) used for pre-detection can be used even under continuous water or rain.
• The symmetrical body of the AQUAPHON® A 200 receiver provides effective and easy use with the right or left hand.
• Everything is visible at a glance. The clear 5.7 inch receiver display shows the acoustic intensity both graphically and numerically. As well as the previous values for comparison purposes can be viewed simultaneously with the instantaneous audio frequency analysis
• The AQUAPHON® A 200 receiver is capable of a full day's work with the F6 wireless earbuds and the TS 200 carrying rod when the built-in Li-on rechargeable battery is fully charged.
• It does not require much effort and has ergonomic use. The balanced, ergonomic design of the TS 200 carrying bar provides a safe and comfortable fit in your hand. It has a flexible carrying system consisting of two opposing carrying straps that allow many carrying positions.

Smart system in application

• The AQUAPHON® system; The TS 200 carrying rod, the AQUAPHON® A 200 receiver and the F6 wireless headset offer completely wireless operation via dedicated S ewerin Digital Radio (SDR) communication. It not only offers very freedom of use and mobility, but also allows you to get better sound quality, where interference caused by oscillating cables is also prevented.

• The system is operated with a 5.7 inch VGA rugged touch screen, not with keys or switches. Provides excellent readability, even in extreme sunlight and can be used with gloves. Features and menu are clearly visible on the screen with large and prominent symbols.
• AQUAPHON® A 200 guides you in different applications with instructions, even less experienced users who do not use it often can use the device with confidence.

• Thanks to individually adjustable hearing protection: if there is any sudden loud parasitic noise, such as passing vehicles or the listening stick slipping out of the valve, the signals in the headphones are softened or completely cut off. Hearing protection is automatically deactivated again when the interference noise source decreases.

Professional Technology that defies the conditions

• High-quality piezo microphones with digital signal processor and frequency reflection optimized especially for leak detection guarantee excellent acoustic properties. Thanks to its excellent sound quality and minimizing noise noises, you can confidently identify and locate the leak, even in places with low sound intensity or high ambient noise.
At the push of a button, AQUAPHON® A 200 calculates the filters according to the current sound and automatically selects the most suitable frequency range. Alternatively, you can manually enter the filter limits according to your own hearing ability, highlighting the leakage sound. This allows you to concentrate only on the leak without being affected by the surrounding noises. • Thanks to the integrated audio player, leakage sounds can be recorded and each leakage sound can be compared with the others. So you can create a sound database or this function can also be used for educational or promotional purposes.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The TS 200 carrying handle can be connected to three different microphones. With the special test needed and expected, as well as the TS 200 carrying rod, it successfully fulfills both functions. Depending on the application, it connects to the corresponding microphone. Equipped with high-performance rechargeable batteries, the TS 200 guarantees full-day operation. It charges directly in the system case in less than 4 hours.

The TM 200 contact microphone was developed for pre-detection in pipe networks, especially over joints and tactile installations. frequency response reliably; Detection is provided up to the very high pitched sound in metal pipes as well as the quiet and low noises usually encountered in plastic pipes. Thanks to the stylus and its extensions of different lengths, it perfectly adapts to all structural conditions in pipe networks. The TM 200 has the torque function actuated via the TS 200 carrying handle. In this way, even in the darkness of the valve box, the valve can be easily positioned correctly over the buffing rod.
The BM 200 microphone is ideal for coated surfaces. The very durable body is conveniently separated from the actual microphone capsule. A tensioning mechanism ensures perfect contact with the ground at all times so that even small bumps are not a problem.

The BM 230 ground microphone lends itself more to use on unpaved surfaces. Its solid tripod always guarantees a firm base. If the ground is particularly soft, it is possible to screw on a spike to improve the sound transmission even further. The BM 230 ground microphone is more suitable for working on uncoated surfaces. It always presses down on the ground with its one-piece three feet.

The AQUAPHON® A 200 System case has ample space to securely place all the elements. TS 200 carrying handle, AQUAPHON® A 200 receiver and F6 wireless headphones can be charged at the same time. It can be safely charged in the car, in the workplace and in the office.
