CLI-1450 Firmware/Language Upgrade

Upgrade to "Find and Fix" Mode is here with Version 7.1!!

"Find & Fix" Mode - This fast mode is used for monitoring leaks on foot found on drop-to-subscriber runs and inside the home applications. The fast "Find & Fix" Mode assists in guiding the technician towards the leak source quickly and accurately. This dynamic replacement for the old "search" mode is more sensitive, but less accurate, than the measurement mode which should be used for "ride out" applications, calibrated leaks, and FCC/CENELC testing.

Old "Search" Mode

New "Find & Fix" Mode
with fast update rate

Included in the Version 7.1 upgrade are:

  • A new "Find & Fix" screen for quickly locating leaks while on foot.
    1. The large numeric readout is able to quickly update the leakage signal strength. The update rate is 10 times faster while in this mode (Approx 10 times per second). The numbers are easier to read than the old bar graph.
    2. The graph will do an "auto-scale" in the "Find & Fix" Mode providing a graphical view of the leak''s response. Manual re-scale is no longer necessary.
    3. Improved audible sound that''s easier to hear. The increased range gives technicians more audio differentiation between levels of leakage.
  • Re-installation of full tagging capabilities to users who have received units without the tagger functionality.
  • International language support.
  • A new, single bar graph, measurement screen that''s easier to read.
  • Update to eliminate RF spur at 789.75 MHz.
  • Update to eliminate occurrence of abnormally low noise floor readings.
  • Changed the minimum tuning frequency from 5.0 MHz to 4.5 MHz.
  • Added VERIFICATION DATE to the information screen. This firmware update was implemented to accommodate the new 3, 4 and 5 star calibration programs offered by the Services group.
  • Adjusted default settings to help optimize battery life.

 

New, easier to read measurement screen..

Find leaks faster with the LT1000 is available again!!!
Quickly distinguish your system leaks from other signals with the LT1000 signal tagger. This optional rack mount leakage tagger modulates the leakage signal at user programmable rates between 3Hz and 25Hz.

Model HD-1 hand-held dipole antenna now standard!!!
This new hand-held dipole antenna for use with our CLI meters will dramatically improve the directionality and accuracy of pinpointing the leak source. The new HD-1 will be approximately 10dB more sensitive than the current near field probe (rubber duck) antenna.
