5 Correlation
Hardware: For a description of how to prepare your hardware for the correlation operation,
please refer to section 9 of this manual.
In your App:

Tap on the Correlation Symbol in the Main Screen
 Use the +/- symbols to enter a time delay before correlation starts then tap OK. Note:
allow enough time to open the chamber covers and attach the sensors to both fittings.
8 I 19

Switch the Link on and tap Synchronise

Deploy the Red Sensor first using the tablet to plot the sensor position. If the GPS
position is not accurate enough, you can move the map with your finger (zooming in
increases position accuracy). Then tap the green arrow to confirm. Repeat for the
Blue sensor and the correlation starts.




A timer counts down until the measurement is completed
The EASYSCAN App will instruct the user to collect the Sensors.
Once collected tap next to download the data.
Choose the pipe type straight or bent (mixed material) and enter the pipe type plus
diameter.
The result is displayed with a correlation quality % in the top lift of the screen and
the distance from Red and Blue sensors in the bottom of the screen as shown

9 I 19
below. Tap the headphone symbol if you wish to pin point the leak, or the chart
symbol to filter the correlation manually.
The Correlation Filter screen on the right hand-side shows the correlation chart on the top
with the leak position as a peak over the length of the pipe. With the buttons in the middle
you can switch automatic or manual filtering on/off. The bottom chart shows the similarity of
the acoustic signal between the red and blue sensors over the frequency. A high value
indicates a good frequency range for filtering, which you can also select manually by moving
the handles.

6 Listening
Hardware: For a description of how to prepare your hardware for the listening operation,
please refer to section 9 of this manual.
In your App:

Tap “Listening”

The EASYSCAN system is a listening stick or a ground microphone. Simply tap on
“Listening” on the main screen then attach a sensor to the ground plate using the
magnet. Then choose the appropriate rod configuration to create the microphone
required.
6.1 Using the Ground Mic function:






Use the rod with the handle plus extension rod and screw to the top of the ground
plate.
Either Red or Blue sensor can be selected in the lower part of the screen. By default,
the sensor which has more battery left is selected.
Attach the chosen Sensor to the Ground Plate with the magnet.
Tap the ground mic symbol
A map window opens, use the red record symbol in the top right corner to listen.
A 5 second sample of sound is recorded and looped over until stop is pressed. A
noise
level is
display
ed in
the
lower
part of
the
screen.
11 I 19

To pin point the leak using the noise level feature place mic on the ground surface
(above the pipe) and press play, listen for 5 seconds then press stop, move to the
next spot above the pipe and press play, listen for 5 seconds and press stop.
Repeat the process until the highest number has been found. The highest noise
level and the highest pitch is likely to be the leak.
6.2 Using a Listening Stick
12 I 19

Configure the rods to create a listening stick then either tab the middle symbol when
listening through soft ground or the lower symbol if listening on fittings such as
valves, hydrants or meter services. Repeat the process as described above.
6.3 Creating a Leak Event



You can save a listening permanently (and later load in from “Browse Data”). For this,
you create a Leak Event tapping the “+” button at the bottom right corner of the
screen.
As an EAYSCAN PREMIUM member you can later upload those Leak Events to your
myEASYSCAN.net cloud account.
It is important to know that a correlation can only be saved as leak event if it was
subsequently re-confirmed as leak using the listening function.
7 Browse Data

All saved correlations are stored in the Browse Data section. Tap this option, then on
the next screen choose the correlation you wish to review. The saved correlations are
normally stored under street name and suburb.
8 Settings



The settings button is in the bottom right hand corner of the main screen.
Within Settings there are 2 options, Change Equipment and Download New Map
Select Change Equipment if the Link or one of the Sensors is replaced. The process
is the same as the initial setup and guides you through.
13 I 19
8.1 Download Maps


By default, EASYSCAN uses online Open Street Maps. However, this requires
network access. In addition, the map server can be slow which causes grey tiles in
the map.
To download an offline map, you need a fast internet connection. Then choose the
map required in the list of countries as shown below.
