8. Overview of sensor types and description of their use
Horn (standard attachment) Focus tube
The horn bundles incident ultrasonic waves together,
increasing the device’s range this way. This makes it ideal
for medium distances. Leaks can be heard across long
distances, but the user needs to get closer to the leak and
always follow the “loudest” point to pinpoint it accurately.
The user must then scan the individual compressed air
components to pinpoint exact locations.
Quantication distance: 1 … 6 m (3 … 20 ft)
When to use the horn:
• Medium distance from line / component of 0.2 … 6 mm
(0.66 … 20 ft)
• Low noise
• Freely accessible leak
• Use at distances of up to six meters if there is no
parabolic mirror
The tip of the focus tube only lets very few ultrasonic
waves through in the direction of the ultrasonic
transducer, making it possible to pinpoint leaks very
exactly.
Accordingly, it is recommended to use the focus tube
at short distances in order to accurately pinpoint the
corresponding leak.
Quantication distance: 0 … 0.2 m (0 … 0.66 ft)
When to use the focus tube:
• Short distance from line / component of
0.05 m (0.16 ft)
• Freely accessible line / component
• The lines and components being inspected are very
close to each other
• Use if there is no gooseneck available
Original installation and operation manual METPOINT® CID
9 | 56

Gooseneck Parabolic mirror
The gooseneck should be used when the lines and
components being inspected are physically very close
to each other. In addition, the gooseneck’s shape can
be adjusted as necessary in order to make it possible
to comfortably inspect lines and components that are
dicult to access.
The gooseneck’s sensitivity has been reduced in order to
attenuate noise.
Accordingly, it is exceptionally well-suited to inspecting
compressed air components in a targeted and local
manner when there is high noise, such as is the case inside
compressed air distributor cabinets and with systems that
use pneumatic cylinders.
Quantication distance: 0 … 0.05 m (0 … 0.16 ft)
When to use the gooseneck:
• Short distance from line / component of
0.05 m (0.16 ft)
• Freely accessible line / component
• The lines and components being inspected are
physically very close to each other
• Medium to high noise
The parabolic mirror bundles horizontally incident
ultrasonic waves together at its focal point, where
the ultrasonic transducer is located. This results in
the measured ultrasound being signicantly amplied
(long range), as well as in very precise directional
characteristics, as any ultrasound that is not horizontally
incident is simply reected by the reector.
The combination of these two properties means that the
parabolic mirror can be used to accurately pinpoint leaks
across long distances.
Quantication distance: 3 … 12 m (9.84 … 39.38 ft)
When to use the parabolic mirror:
• Long distance from line / component of
3 … 12 m (9.84 … 39.38 ft)
• Noise
• Leak not freely accessible
• Leaks physically close to each other (overlapping)

8.1 Assembly with horn
By bundling sound waves together, the horn makes acoustic amplication possible and helps pinpoint leaks accurately.
Its special design ensures that the integrated laser pointer will continue to be usable. The camera is integrated into the
underside of the horn and is connected electrically to the preamplier module with the jack.
Assemble the device by joining the individual components until you hear them lightly lock into place (insert them all the
way).
To disassemble the device, remove the components in the opposite order. You will additionally need to press the release
button in order to release the preamplier module.
8.2 Assembly with focus tube
The focus tube with a tip is used to detect very small leaks and pinpoint them exactly. Just like the horn, the focus tube
can be installed on the preamplier with an ultrasonic receiver.
The camera cannot be used in this case.
To disassemble the device, remove the components in the opposite order. You will additionally need to press the release
button in order to release the preamplier module.

8.3 Assembly with gooseneck
Due to its exibility, the gooseneck tool is used for localized measurements in areas that are dicult to access. it is
connected to the METPOINT®CID with the included coiled cord.
The camera cannot be used in this case.
To remove the component, disconnect the connection cable. To do this, press the release button on both sides and pull
o the cable.
8.4 Assembly with parabolic mirror
The parabolic mirror is used for measurements at long distances and for strict requirements regarding selectivity and
leak location pinpointing.
It is connected to the METPOINT®CID with the included coiled cord.
To remove the component, disconnect the connection cable. To do this, press the release button on both sides and pull
o the cable.
Note:
In order to use the parabolic mirror and gooseneck, these components must be enabled on the METPOINT®CID during
the initial commissioning process in order to save the corresponding component-specic calibration parameters. If this
has not been done at the factory already, the corresponding data will be included on a USB drive. For instructions on
how to enable the components (importing parameters), see section “12.3.2 Export / Import“.
Parabolic mirror 2.0 and gooseneck 2.0 will be automatically detected by an intelligent METPOINT®CID. In this case,
you will not need to import the corresponding parameters.

9. Commissioning / use
Please observe the safety instructions in section 1 rst
Operating the METPOINT® CID with an external plug-in power supply unit is only permitted in
ambient temperatures ranging from -5 °C (+14 °F) to +40 °C (+104 °F).
9.1 Switching on the device
Press the ON / OFF button and hold it down for about 1 second. The device will switch on and a startup sequence will be
shown on the display. Pressing the button again will switch o the device.
See “Device components and controls“ for the ON / OFF button
9.2 Headphone volume up / down
You can raise and lower the headphone volume in 16 steps with the volume up / down buttons. Holding the button
down will automatically raise / lower the value.
See “Device components and controls“ for volume up / down buttons
Please make sure that the headphone volume is lower than 50% before putting the headphones
on.

9.3 Sensitivity level
Ultrasonic levels can be viewed as a kind of leak “volume.”
You can use the “sensitivity adjustment button” to adjust the sensitivity of the METPOINT®CID to the corresponding
surroundings. This will heavily aect the device’s acoustic behaviour and increase or reduce the valid value range.
Reducing sensitivity will reduce the range of the leak measurement. However, the “relevant area” illustrated with a circle
on the display will also be smaller, making exact pinpointing much easier.
Sensitivity levels
0 … 60 dB The device’s maximum sensitivity level (intended for when there are small leaks and no
noise); can be selected with the “HiSn button” or “sensitivity level button”
10 … 70 dB Leaks and noise will become “quieter” and the range will decrease
20 … 80 dB Leaks and noise will become “quieter” and the range will decrease
30 … 90 dB Leaks and noise will become “quieter” and the range will decrease
40 … 100 dB Least sensitive level (large leaks, a lot of noise for a heavy-duty application)
50 … 110 dB Leaks and noise will become “quieter” and the range will decrease
60 … 120 dB Least sensitive level (large leaks, a lot of noise for a heavy-duty application)
Whether the 50 … 110 dB and 60 … 120 dB levels are available will depend on whether the METPOINT®CID and the
sensor are intelligent. The METPOINT®CID will have its auto function enabled by default and will switch between levels
(10 – 70 dB to 40 – 100 dB) by itself.
9.4 Laser ON / OFF
The laser pointer can only be switched on and o with the laser ON / OFF button on the display (not with the membrane
keypad). When switched on, the display will show a laser warning symbol.
Laser “ON” icon
Please observe all warnings regarding laser
operation! Do not, under any circumstance,
hit a person’s or animal’s eyes directly or
indirectly (reection) with the laser beam!

10. Automatic distance measurement
The new intelligent horn features an integrated distance measuring module.
Prerequisites for rmware and hardware:
In order to be able to use this functionality, the following prerequisites must rst be met:
• The main board must be “intelligent” so that the main body of the METPOINT®CID and the tool will be able to
communicate with each other.
• The rmware version on the METPOINT®CID must be V3.02 or higher. The latest rmware can be downloaded from
the “Downloads” section of the corresponding homepage.
If these prerequisites are met, the METPOINT®CID will automatically detect that an intelligent tool with automatic
distance measuring is connected.
Description of functionality:
1. The laser must be started in order to activate the distance measurement, just
like with all other tools.
2.
The METPOINT®CID will then show the measured distance on the display. In
this case, the distance is 3.49 meters o 137 inches depending on the selected
unit system.
3.
In order to automatically use the measured distance to calculate costs, you will
need to enable the “Distance by Laser” option under “Parameter.”
Important: The laser must be switched on before you enable “Distance by
Laser.” Otherwise, the icon will ash yellow and red and say “Laser?”.
Note: For the horn, the valid distance range is 1 … 6 meters (40 … 236 inches).
4.
The METPOINT®CID will now update the distance automatically. The currently
measured distance will be shown in the grey “Dist:” bar. Meanwhile, the distance
used for cost calculations will be shown in the small bar at the bottom left next
to the pressure.

11. Pinpointing leaks
This section goes over how to optimally use the device in real-life scenarios.
11.1 Leak pinpointing process
The following process should be carried out cyclically at the company in order to keep leakage rates as low as possible.
The goal should be to have a continuous leakage rate of 5 … 10%, as searching for leaks and xing them one time only
will not reduce the leakage rate permanently and new leaks will occur later on.
Real-life tip:
To identify the ideal time, it is recommended to use a volumetric ow sensor in the main line behind the tank. At least
one week (Monday to Sunday) is recommended as the period for the measurement. When production is stopped, the
volumetric ow prole will show the leakage rate. This means that if the limit is exceeded, a leak search can be ordered.
In addition, the volumetric ow measurement can be used to validate the result from the leak search and x, as the latter
should reduce the volumetric ow rate when production is stopped.

11.2 Possible causes of leaks
When dealing with compressed air systems, leaks can be usually found at connecting elements.
• Leaky couplings and hose clamps
• Leaky gaskets
• Porous / faulty hoses
• Porous / faulty seals on tools and machines
• Faulty condensate drains
• Leaky or incorrectly installed dryers, lters, service units
• etc.
11.3 Leak pinpointing procedure
The specic approach recommended for pinpointing leaks depends on the specic ambient conditions in question.
Option 1 – from which direction can you hear a leak?
When using this method, you should point in all directions until you nd the loudest point. After this, you should move
in the direction of the loudest point in order to be able to accurately pinpoint the leak.
This option works well when there is little noise.
Option 2 – Walking along the compressed air system.
Alternatively, if there is more noise, you can make it easier to pinpoint the leak by “moving along and listening to the
compressed air system bit by bit.” That is, from the compressor room all the way to the end points. If there is noise, it
is recommended to manually reduce the device’s sensitivity and use either the gooseneck for short distances or the
parabolic mirror for long distances.
In addition, the following generally applies when using this method: The shorter the distance from line, the easier it
will be to pinpoint the leak.
Option 3 – Searching for leaks while production is stopped
Production processes can result in ultrasonic noise in certain cases. If, for example, a pneumatic system blows o air
on a regular basis, the METPOINT®CID will detect the corresponding noise.
If noise makes pinpointing leaks signicantly harder, it is recommended to use option 1 or option 2 if the lines are
pressurized but the corresponding production processes are stopped. This is the easiest and fastest way to nd leaks.
