1 Indications for Use
It is essential to read the operating instructions carefully and completely before using the first
time the equipment and software. They contain important information on safety, installation
and use. Keep these instructions in a safe place.
1.1 Symbols

1.2 Safety
The operating and maintenance personnel must read the instructions carefully
before using the equipment. Knowing all the information contained therein - in
particular the warning and safety instructions - is needed to safely operate the
equipment, and to protect yourself and others against possible dangers. Ignoring the warning,
safety and operating instructions can result in injury, damage, or a considerable shortening of
the equipment life time. Do not make any changes or alterations to our products.
HISCAN is powered via Lithium primary cell. The battery/cells must not be charged, short-
circuited, physically damaged or exposed to heat, fire or water. Follow the transport stipulations
of the carrier (IATA-DGR, IMDG-Code, ADR, RID) when returning HISCAN to Gutermann. For
questions concerning replacing the battery, please contact your Gutermann distributor.
In order to fulfill the standards for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields
HISCAN must be kept at least 20 cm away from the body.
Never open the device unless otherwise stated in this document, otherwise any warranty and
conformity expires.
When using the software or the equipment, make sure you adhere to any applicable
regulations, in particular traffic regulations.
1.3 Intended Use
HISCAN products, hardware, software and accessories are exclusively intended for industrial
use and exclusively intended for leak detection on water pipes of the public water supply. In
particular, these products are not intended to be used on waste water and gas pipes.
Gutermann is not liable for any damages caused by misuse, improper operation, and as a
result of non-compliance with safety instructions and warnings.

2 Delivery Contents
HISCAN consists of the hydrophone logger, battery box, antenna and power cable.
Additionally you can either install ALPHA V2 data collector or use ZONESCAN smart.
6 I 13
3 Mechanical installation.
HISCAN is a high performance noise data logger, used for (semi)permanent monitoring of
drinking water pipes.
3.1 Safety Precautions
You must ensure that there is adequate safety present when working at great
heights, deep chambers or traffic situation.
Always thoroughly clean the hydrophone and fittings according to local laws and
regulations, to eliminate risk of contamination of drinking water.
Use protective gloves to prevent cuts from sharp edges.
3.2 Directions for the Hydrophone
When connecting the hydrophone to the pipe, make sure all valves are closed and
all connections are fastened securely. High pressure water jets pose risk of serious
damage or injury.
To ensure proper function, the hydrophone must have contact to the water. No air
must be present at the membrane. Avoid vertical installation on the top of the pipe
as no bleeding is possible in that configuration.
If bleeding is necessary, automatic bleeding valves are recommended to ensure
continuous operation.

3.3 Directions for the External Antenna
Use the provided antenna.
Tighten connectors correctly to ensure good contact and sealing. No tools necessary –
fingertight fastening is adequate.
The antenna has a magnetic foot for easy application to ferrous surfaces, place the antenna
as high as possible to ensure good radio connection with the data collector.
Not using an antenna (not connecting anything to the TNC connector) may
potentially damage the equipment when this is powered.
The HISCAN hydrophone has to be used only with the antenna (GT-ANT01)
provided with the device. In case that the user chooses a different antenna, the
user will be responsible for its suitability to the safety of the equipment and the
compliance with local and national radio regulations.
3.4 Directions for the Power Supply
The power supply for HISCAN is the provided HISCAN battery box HSB10.
The HISCAN Hydrophone has to be powered from the HISCAN battery box
(HSB10), using a battery according the specifications. In case that the user
chooses to use a different power supply, the user will be responsible for fulfilling
local and national requirements both radioelectric and safety regulations.
3.4.1 Installation
To install the battery box, connect the battery box to the hydrophone with the provided power
cable. Tighten connectors correctly to ensure good contact and sealing. No tools necessary
– finger-tight fastening is adequate.
The HISCAN battery box (HSB10) is intended to be used with a lithium primary
cell. Both the battery box (HSB10) or a primary cell are not intended to be charged.
Both the battery box or the primary cell must never be subjected to any external
power supply - this may lead to explosion or fire and harm to people or places.
In case that the battery is connected reversed, there is no danger to the equipment,
but the hydrophone will not be powered.
Initially the box comes with installed battery. No service or opening of the box is
necessary.

3.4.2 Battery Replacement
To replace the battery, follow these steps:
• Open the battery box in dry conditions only.
• To open the box, use a flat blade screwdriver, insert it in the small holes and gently
push to the outside.
• Exchange the battery, pay attention to polarity.
• Before closing the battery box, check the seal. Remove any dirt and exchange it if
damaged.
• Close the lid and close the latches until you hear them snap in place.
To replace the cell on the HISCAN battery box (HSB10), a suitable exchange
battery of the same kind must be used. In case of doubt contact a Gutermann
representative.
