- Phocus3 is an advanced leak noise logger designed for detecting and localising water leakage. Wireless communications allows both ‘lift and shift’ or permanent distribution network operation. On site leakage results may be obtained via the Communications Module with detailed analysis carried out on the host software.
- Phocus3 is an intelligent acoustic logger which detects the noise generated by a water leak. The logger samples pipeline noise at one second intervals during each of three sample epochs during the night when background acoustic noise is lowest. It carries out statistical analysis on each of the three epochs to determine the Leakage Confidence Factor. The lowest leak noise amplitude is also measured, termed the Critical Noise Value. This value is important as a measure of how close to the leak the logger is situated.
- Rapid overnight identification of leaks
- Two models available; local IR contact (lift + shift operation) and radio contact (greater range for permanent installation)
- Small size
- Histogram display of noise data
- Phocus noise algorithm to reduce incidence of un-detected leaks
- GPS coordinates stored in logger
- Leak listening; real time (whilst on site) and recorded to aid remote leak identification
- Smallest size - local IR contact model is 40mm x 113mm (including handle)
- Intelligence in logger to determine presence and level of leak noise
- Epoch data memory approximately one year in most situations
- Powered for >5 years (dependent upon operational use)
- Submersible to IP68
