2.1 Function
The Correlux C-300-RI is a digital correlation system to locate leaks in drinking water
pipes.
Pressurized water at the leak location creates a noise which travels out in all directions
of the pipe. This noise is recorded, amplified and sent wirelessly to the correlation
system by two sensors (piezo microphone, hydrophone) which are attached to the pipe
(e.g. valve, hydrants).
The PC software compares both signals (correlation) and calculates the exact distance
to the leakage on the basis of the delay time of the signals, the sensor spacing and the
sound velocity in the pipe.
The Correlux C-300-RI is suitable for both immediate measurement
("Online measurement") as well as time-delayed measurement ("Offline measurement").
Online measurement
In a so-called Online measurement, the noise recording and the correlation of the data
take place at the same time.
Step Description
1 Installing the Power transmitters "A" and "B" at two measuring points.
2 Noise recording, at the same time data transfer and live data correlation on the
Correlator.
Offline measurement
In a so-called Offline measurement, the correlation of the measured data takes place
only after the noise recording has been terminated.
Step Description
1 Programming the sensors (Multi sensors and Power transmitters)
2 Installing the Power transmitters and/or Multi sensors at up to 8 measuring points.
3 Noise recording, immediately or at a preset time (e.g. at night).
4 Collecting the sensors.
5 Reading and analyzing the measured data using the Correlator.
Pinpointing
To determine the exact location of the leak after the correlation, a pinpoint search can
be performed using the Multi sensors or the ground microphone connected to the
Correlator.

11
2.2 Features of the set
The Correlux C-300-RI set mainly comprises the following components:
• CorreluxView-3 Software for PC/laptop
• C-300-RI radio interface for USB connection
• 2 Power transmitters with microphone (Transmitter A / Transmitter B)
for recording the leak noise at two measuring points and sending the recorded data
to the Correlator
The set can be extended by the following components:
• up to 8 multi sensors
for recording the leak noise of up to 8 measuring points at the same time followed
by an "Offline-correlation"
• hydrophones
for recording the leak noise directly at the water column
The Transport case offers space for the C-300-RI, 2 Power transmitters and
3 Multi sensors. The case is not only for storage and transportation purposes, but also
functions as a charging station for the devices.
2.3 Power supply
The COR C-300-RI is supplied by USB.
The Power transmitters and the Multi sensors come with internal rechargeable Li-Ion
batteries.
The storage places of the individual devices in the transport case function as charging
stations. As soon as a device is placed in/on its station in the case, the device is
automatically charged, provided the case is connected to the mains.
The case can be connected via the connection socket and the supplied connection
cable to either a 12 V connector of a vehicle or to the mains

Technical description
12
NOTE
When connected to the electrical system of a car, the transport case is
powered by the vehicle's battery, even while the vehicle is not in
operation. This could result in the complete discharge of the vehicle
battery.
When you park the car, disconnect the Correlux transport case from the
vehicle power supply.
You can find more information in the chapters which describe the individual devices.

3.1 Function and design
The COR C-300-RI is a portable device, acting as a radio interface between a PC or
laptop and the sensor devices of the COR C-3 system. With the C-300-RI it is possible
to program/configure the Multisensors (COR MS-3) and receive the analog signal of the
Power-Transmitters (COR PT-3).
The C-300-RI has two external connectors to connect two different antennas - one for
digital communication and one for long range analog communication.

4.2 Identification number (ID)
Each Power transmitter has its own six-digit identification number (short: ID). Using this
ID the device can be managed and clearly identified in the Correlator, computer and
within the SebaKMT-Cloud.
The ID is deduced from the last six digits of the device's serial number (short: SN). You
find the serial number on the nameplate of the device.
When entering an ID on the Correlator or computer, the preceding zero digits can be
omitted.
4.3 Power supply
The Power transmitters are fitted with internal rechargeable Li-Ion batteries This can
power the device for approximately 12 hours.
In the Start menu of the Correlator two battery icons indicate the current battery status
of the Power transmitters.
On the Power transmitters, the current battery status is indicated by the LED bar
when it is green. If only one of five LEDs is lit, the device should be charged. Otherwise,
it switches itself off automatically.
Red light represents the recorded noise during the measurement and not the battery
status.
The Power transmitters are charged wirelessly in the transport case. The case must be
connected to a power supply. As soon as the Power transmitters are situated at their
storage places in the case, they are recharged inductively.
Charging takes approximately 12 hours. The I/O LED flashes when loading. The
LED bar indicates the progress of charging The I/O LED turns back to permanent
light as soon as the battery is full.
CAUTION
No objects must be put into empty charging stations.
Risk of fire!
The charging stations are for transport and charging of the devices only.
NOTE
Any repairs must be carried out by SebaKMT or an authorized service
partner.
Otherwise, the devices' resistance against water and dirt cannot be
guaranteed.
Do not open the device yourself. If you have problems with the battery,
please contact your SebaKMT service partner.

4.4 Commissioning
To turn on, briefly press the I/O pushbutton . The I/O LED is lit green when the
device is turned on. To turn the device off, press the button until the LED goes out.
The microphone's storage place is fitted with a magnetic switch. As a result, the
Power transmitter "knows" whether the microphone is currently in use or not.
As long as the microphone rests in its storage place, the Power transmitter remains in
"Stand-by" mode. The internal analogue radio module stays off as no measuring data
needs to be transferred to the Correlator. This saves battery power.
As soon as the microphone is taken from the storage place, the Power transmitter
switches from "Stand-by" to "Active" mode. The radio module is activated. From now on,
the recorded data are directly sent to the Correlator. The row of LEDs switches from
green to red and represents the recorded noise level.
4.5 Installation
The sensors should be installed directly on the pipe but, however, you can also attach
them to valve rods or hydrants, for example, or any other position along the pipeline that
is easily accessible.
There must be the best possible contact between the sensor foot or the mounted
adapter (see below) and the pipe. If need be, clean the contact point thoroughly
(preferably with a wire brush).
In some situations it might be helpful to use one of the supplied magnetic angle
adapters.
