5.3.1 Setting the LD500 parameters
Entering the parameters is necessary for the calculation
of the leak flow rate.
The following settings must be made.
➔ Sensor type
Change the sensor type according to the application and
ambient conditions, see chapter 6.4.
Home → Configuration → Parameter Pressure and
distance
Values for the pressure and distance can be freely se-
lected in the two fields with the white coloured back-
ground, provided these are within the valid selection
range.
The pressure can be set variably between 1 – 10 bar.
Different distances from the LD500 to the leakage are defined for the different sensor types to calcu-
late valid leakage loss and costs per year. These distances must be adhered to as accurately as possible,
see chapter 6.4.
5.3.2 Setting the LD500 measurement place
Home → Configuration → Measurement place
The measurement place is stored for each leakage in its
journal data (xml file). This information can be viewed
later in the software leakage report.
The company and building can be recorded upon entering
the building, the place identifies the exact position of the
leakage so it can be easily found again when doing repairs.
➔ LeakTag: will automatically increase by one (1) after
storing a measurement.
