•How to connect the sensor wire
Depending on local conditions, where necessary, fit the green and red mea-
surement lines with alligator clips and for
-NiCr measurements match the colours to the pipe’s measuring wires.
-Cu measurements connect the red measurement line to the bare copper
wire and the green measurement line to the tinned copper wire.
-HDW systems connect the red measurement line to the red and the green
measurement line to the white measuring wire.
WARNING - Strong magnet!
Keep the pipe connection magnet away from all devices and
objects, which may be damaged by strong magnetic fields,
such as cardiac pacemakers etc., hearing aids, televisions
and monitors, bank and credit cards, data carriers and computers.
•How to connect the pipe connection monitor
Using the banana plugs plug the two black measurement lines into the sockets
of the supplied pipe connection magnet (13) and position the latter parallel to
the service pipe to establish a secure point of contact.
Where there is no pipe connection magnet (13), the two black measurement
lines must be connected to the medium pipe without touching each other. This
is the only way to ensure that the pipe is included in the measurement.
In the event that the black measurement
lines are connected incorrectly, a “No Pipe
Contact” error message will appear on the
display and the measurement will be dis-
continued (see page 14).

Single measurement
For experienced measurement technicians the PipeCheckplus has an option to
perform any measurement procedure in individual steps. This allows for a detai-
led assessment of the measurement results.
Pressing the „ “ soft key in each respective measuring mode (NiCr, Cu or
HDW) activates the single measuring mode.
First, the PipeCheckplus measures the
„Ux aR“ value (voltage measuring
wire a against the pipe).
Pressing the „Ux/Rx“ soft key alternates
between Ux (voltage measurement) und Rx
(resistance measurement).
Pressing the „aR/ab“ soft key alternates
between aR (measuring wire a against the pipe) and ab (measuring wire a
against b).
Thus results in 4 measurement methods:
1. Measurement „Ux aP“
(voltage measuring wire a against the
pipe).
2. Measurement „Rx aP“
(resistance measuring wire a against the
pipe) with indication of the MH level.
3. Measurement „Ux ab“
(voltage measuring wire a against b).
4. Measurement „Rx ab“
(resistance measuring wire a against b).
For NiCr measurements the length of the
measuring wire (of the pipe) and the set
resistance value of the sensor wire are
also displayed.
If the signalisation „ “ is activated
(see page 21), a sound confirms the closed measuring loop.
Else the symbol is struck „ “ .

Page 14
Fault detection (for NiCr measurements only)
Pressing the „ “ soft key in the single measuring mode activates the fault
detection mode (for NiCr measurements only - during other measurement pro-
cedures this point is skipped and the “Read stored data” mode is called up
instead).
After the fault detection mode has been
selected the corresponding measurement
screen will appear.
Press the “Start” soft key to start the mea-
surement.
The display for selecting the measurement
method appears.
The “Automatic” measurement method
automatically performs the necessary fault
detection measurements one after another
and then displays the measurement result.
For experienced measurement technicians the PipeCheckplus has an option to
perform fault detection measurements in individual steps. This allows for a
detailed assessment of the measurement results.
The measurement method can be selected by pressing the „ “ soft key. Press
the “OK” soft key to select the measurement method underlaid with the dark
background that is marked with a “>”.

manual fault location.
For all measurements the right-hand vertical bar shows whether the measured
value is stable „ “ or whether it is subject to upward „ “ or downward „ “
fluctuations. This would indicate faults on the measuring section.
The following measurements can be performed one after another:
R-Iso Insulation resistance
(Home screen)
The bar chart below the measured
value shows the measured value in
relation to the full scale value of the
measuring scale.
R-Loop Loop resistance
The bar chart below the measured
value shows the measured value in
relation to the full scale value of the
measuring scale.

Page 16
