Terms of Warranty
SebaKMT accept responsibility for a claim under warranty brought forward by a
customer for a product sold by SebaKMT under the terms stated below.
SebaKMT warrant that at the time of delivery SebaKMT products are free from
manufacturing or material defects which might considerably reduce their value or
usability. This warranty does not apply to faults in the software supplied. During the
period of warranty, SebaKMT agree to repair faulty parts or replace them with new parts
or parts as new (with the same usability and life as new parts) according to their choice.
This warranty does not cover wear parts, lamps, fuses, batteries and accumulators.
SebaKMT reject all further claims under warranty, in particular those from consequential
damage. Each component and product replaced in accordance with this warranty
becomes the property of SebaKMT.
All warranty claims versus SebaKMT are hereby limited to a period of 12 months from
the date of delivery. Each component supplied by SebaKMT within the context of
warranty will also be covered by this warranty for the remaining period of time but for 90
days at least.
Each measure to remedy a claim under warranty shall exclusively be carried out by
SebaKMT or an authorized service station.
This warranty does not apply to any fault or damage caused by exposing a product to
conditions not in accordance with this specification, by storing, transporting, or using it
improperly, or having it serviced or installed by a workshop not authorized by SebaKMT.
All responsibility is disclaimed for damage due to wear, will of God, or connection to
foreign components.
For damage resulting from a violation of their duty to repair or re-supply items,
SebaKMT can be made liable only in case of severe negligence or intention. Any liability
for slight negligence is disclaimed.

1 Safety Instructions
1.1 General Safety Instructions and Warnings
xDo not drop the device / the system’s components or subject it / them
to strong impacts or mechanical shocks.
xThe limits described under Technical Data may not be exceeded.
xThe device / system must be in a technically perfect condition for
measurement.
xThe indicated degree of protection can only be ensured if plugs or the
provided protection caps are put in all sockets of the device.
xThe plugs of the supplied connection cables are only compliant to the
indicated degree of protection as long as they are plugged in. Plugs
which are not connected or which are connected in a wrong way are
not protected from water and dust ingress.
xIf the O-ring seal of a socket is obviously damaged, it must be replaced
in order to ensure the total protection against water and dust ingress.

Use genuine accessories to ensure system safety and reliable operation. The use of
other parts is not permitted and invalidates the warranty.
Repair and maintenance work has to be carried out by SebaKMT or authorised service
partners using original spare parts only. SebaKMT recommends having the system
tested and maintained at a SebaKMT service centre once a year.
SebaKMT also offers its customers on-site service. Please contact your service centre if
needed.
The lithium batteries of the device are dangerous goods. The transport of the batteries
itselves and of devices which contain such batteries is subject to regulations based on
the UN Model Regulations “Transport of Dangerous Goods” (ST/SG/AC.10-1).
Please inform yourself about the transportation requirements and follow them when
shipping the device.
This device is designed for industrial use. When used at home it could cause
interference to other equipment, such as the radio or television.
The interference level from the line complies with the limit curve B (living area), the
radiation level complies with the limit curve A (industrial area) according to EN 55011.
Given that living areas are sufficiently far away from the planned area of operation
(industrial area), equipment in living areas will not be impaired.

Indicates whether the Power transmitter A or B is installed at this measuring
point. Tap the button to open the Audio menu which can be used to listen to
the leak noise.
Noise level at the measuring point
The height of the bar reflects the noise level at the measuring point.
Quality of the radio link between transmitter and Correlator

Indicates the delay of the leak noise between the two sensors.
The colour of the numbers shows how reliable the result of this correlation is:
green … "good" correlation, reliable result
yellow … correlation is not optimal
red … "bad" correlation; unreliable result
