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

Check the contents of the package for completeness and visible damage right after
receipt. In the case of visible damage, the device must under no circumstances be taken
into operation. If something is missing or damaged, please contact your local sales
representative.
It is important to observe the generally applicable regulations of the country in which the
device will be operated, as well as the current national accident prevention regulations
and internal company directives (work, operating and safety regulations).
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.
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.
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

3.1 HL 7000 system
The Hydrolux HL 7000 is used for acoustic leak location on pipelines. It consists of an
operating unit, a universal carrying pole, various microphones and Bluetooth®
headphones.
By connecting different sensors to the carrying pole, the acoustic recording of ground
noise, direct listening to the pipe and leak detection with the help of tracer gas are
possible.
The transmission of the detected leak noise or the recorded measured values takes
place wirelessly via a Bluetooth connection.

3.2 HLE 7000 operating unit
3.2.1 Function and structure
The HLE 7000 device is the operating unit of the HL 7000 system. It is the
communication hub between the CS-7 sensor carrying pole and the headphones. On
the screen, the recorded measured values are displayed. At the same time, the touch-
sensitive screen is used to enter all commands and operating steps.
On the HLE 7000 you will find the following operating elements, lights and connection
sockets:

3.2.2 Operation
The screen of the HLE 7000 is touch sensitive.
The device is operated by tapping the displayed buttons on the screen.
If you hold down a button for a long time, a field appears next to the area with a brief
explanation of the function of this button (referred to as a tooltip).
Next to the screen you will find three buttons, which can also be used to operate the
device.
Use the two cursor keys to move from button to button in the screen.
Press the OK button to open the selected button.
When the quick-selection button is briefly pressed, the screen goes directly to a
specific menu or a specific action is performed. Which menu or action this is can be set
in the system settings of the HLE 7000 (see page 62).
If the quick-selection button is pressed and held (for about 3 seconds) while a
measurement type is currently open on the screen, then this mode is set as the new
quick-selection function.
Example: If you go to the Pinpointing menu and then press the quick-selection button for
3 seconds, the pinpointing measurement is set as favourite. From now on, when you
press the quick-selection button, Pinpointing menu will open directly.
3.2.3 Power supply
The device is equipped with an internal lithium-ion battery. At full charge, the average
operating time is approximately 10 hours, depending on actual usage.
The current battery level is displayed at the bottom left of the screen.
As soon as the battery of the device has reached a minimum, a message appears on
the screen. The device should then be charged as soon as possible.

The device can be charged in the transport case, provided the case is connected to a
mains supply.
Take one of the charging cables in the case with a round plug and connect it to the USB
port of the HLE 7000. Note the marking. You must feel the plug engage.
The device can also be connected to the mains for charging. Use the supplied power
adapter and the VK 130 connection cable.
Connect the round plug of the cable to the USB socket of the HLE 7000. Plug the
other end of the cable into the power adapter and the power adapter into an electrical
outlet.
When charging in the case or when using the included power adapter, the charging time
is about 8 hours. If a third-party power supply unit with less than 1.5 A charge current is
used, the charging time increases considerably.
During charging, the I/O LED on the device will turn solid red. The red light goes out as
soon as the battery is fully charged.
The LED flashes red when an error occurs during charging. The charging process is
aborted in this case.
While the HLE 7000 is connected to a computer, charge current flows from the
computer to the device via the USB connection. The I/O LED on the device turns red.
However, the charge current is too low to charge the battery noticeably.

3.2.4 GPS
The HLE 7000 operating unit has a standard integrated GPS module. The GPS module
will start a signal search immediately after the HLE 7000 is switched on.
A GPS icon is shown in the info bar at the bottom of the screen.
The colour of the icon indicates whether GPS is available.

As soon as a measurement is made, the position, time and date of the measurement
are determined and stored in the device, together with the measurement result.
3.2.5 Automatic switch off
The HLE 7000 operating unit switches itself off if no Bluetooth contact has taken place
for a certain period of time and no input has been made. The length of this time span
can be specified in the system settings (see page 62).
3.2.6 Force shutdown (RESET)
If necessary, you can force the device to switch off.
Simultaneously press the I/O button and the OK button until the green LED turns off.

3.3 CS-7 carrying pole
3.3.1 Function and structure
“CS-7” is the sensor carrying pole of the HL 7000 system.
At the lower end of the carrying pole, the various microphones or the gas sensor of the
set can be mounted.
In the handle of the carrying pole there is an electronics unit and a Bluetooth module for
the transmission of recorded data to the HLE 7000 operating unit.
The internal battery supplies the device itself and the installed microphone with power.
On the handle you will find a charging socket and the following buttons and LEDs:

3.3.2 Communication
Communication between the CS-7 carrying pole and the HLE 7000 operating unit takes
place via Bluetooth.
The carrying pole is already paired with the operating unit at the factory, which means
that the Bluetooth connection is always established automatically when the two devices
are switched on.
If a situation occurs in which the pairing needs to be performed again (for example, after
the HLE 7000 has been reset to factory defaults), proceed as follows:
Step
Description
1
In the Start menu of the HLE 7000, tap
Management >> Settings >> Paired microphone.
2
Simultaneously press the On/Off button on the CS-7 carrying pole and the
mute button until the red and blue LEDs flash alternating.
3
On the HLE 7000 screen, tap the button .
Result: The search for Bluetooth devices in the area begins. A bar indicates
the progress. After a successful search, the name of the found Bluetooth
device is displayed. If no device or the wrong device has been found, repeat
the search.
4
Tap on the button.
Result: The CS-7 carrying pole and the HLE 7000 are paired.
When finished, the screen returns to the Settings menu.
The CS-7 carrying pole is now automatically detected by the HLE 7000 when
switched on.
