1. Components and Operating Principle
Cable route and leak detector «Success TPT-522N» is a multi-purpose, integrated,
multifunctional set. Functionally, the set joins three devices:
1. Route detector with the electromagnetic sensor;
2. Route detector with the acoustic sensor;
3. Leak detector with the acoustic sensor.
The set consists of the transmitter providing for electromagnetic field radiation and generation
of impact (audio) pulses in the utility under examination (when using the impact device), and the
receiver with electromagnetic and acoustic sensors.
Transmitter AG-144.1 is intended for electromagnetic and acoustic methods of underground
utilities detection.
The maximum transmitter power in sinusoidal mode is 180 W.
Using the transmitter enables the following:
- Route location of utilities by electromagnetic (cables, metal pipelines) and acoustic methods
(metal and NON-METAL pipelines).
- Conduct gas pipeline diagnostics and locate breaks in protective cable covering
The transmitter can be connected to the load either directly (with connecting wires) or with the
use of the inductive antenna or inductive clamp providing for noncontact (inductive) connection
of the utility under examination.
Use of the inductive antenna as a load is only possible at the 8192 Hz frequency (selected
automatically at antenna connection).
The electromagnetic sensor connected to the receiver converts the electromagnetic signal into
the electric one. The electric signal is delivered to the receiver where it is amplified and filtered.
According to the signal in headphones and LCD-indicator, the operator determines the route
location.
In the route location mode, the receiver is also able of receiving a signal from industrial frequency
radiation sources (50/60 Hz) and cathode protection systems (100/120 Hz).
The leak detector consists of the acoustic pre-amplifying converter and receiver where the
received signal is subject to amplification and filtering. Noise of a hole through the ground is
perceived by the converter, amplified in the pre-amplifier and fed to the receiver. The receiver
filters the hole noise of unwanted sounds, amplifies the signal and forwards it to headphones and
indicator. According to the maximum signal or specific hole noise, the operator determines the
leak location.

2.1 Preparing Receiver AP-027 for operation
1. Insert 4 AA elements in battery compartment of the receiver, observing the polarity. Pic
2.1 p.14 If accumulators are used, they should be fully charged with charger, supplied
separately.
Receiver cab also work from external PowerBank, supplied separately*.
NOTE
AP-027 automatically switches to external power supply, when connected to PowerBank.
Some models of PowerBanks should be activated by pressing separate button on their body.
When working at negative temperatures (to -20°С) place PowerBank under clothes.

2. Set the receiver on the holder
3. Put one end of the holder below protective rubber of the receiver.
4. Put other end of the holder below the second rubber
5. The receiver is ready for the operation.
It is recommended to adjust the length of the neck strap for more comfort during operation.

Acoustic sensor AD-227 is made with threaded
holes for installation of removable rods (magnet
pos.2, rods pos.3 and pos.4) and extension
handle pos.5. The set of sensor includes
plastic plug-screws (for protection of threaded
holes from dust and water) and a key (pos.8).
3.1. Set content of acoustic sensor
threaded
hole plug
While working with acoustic sensor without removable elements for handling, use the handle
on sensor cable to position the sensor (pos.9) .
Using of magnet allows to attach the acoustic sensor to metal pipes and isolation valves. While
preparing the sensor for the operation with removable handle and (or) rods, these plugs should
be removed. After finishing the location the accessories should be removed and the plugs should
be placed back.
3. Acoustic sensor AD-227
3.2. Structural and operation features of acoustic sensor
Sensitive element of acoustic sensor is placed on steel sensing base (later on – base). The
base is hanging at snap diaphragm made of sound-proof rubber and protected from external
noise with safety cuff. Overall design of the sensor reduces the distortion of external noise and
prevents mechanical damage of body.
Best protection from external noise is provided when cuff is placed fully on ground surface.
(also when using rods).
When working with sensor, the cuff is placed fully against the surface, and the base of sensor
should touch the ground surface.

While working with sensor, please, make sure you are not pressing it too hard. The sensitive
base may strike of vertical movement mechanical stopper. It may cause the unwanted noise in
headphones and distorted signal. The distortion of signal may happen when sensitive base is
placed incorrectly due to roughness of ground surface. When placing the sensor, choose as flat
surface as possible.
When working on soft soil or in high grass or snow, use removable rods.
The rods are installed and removed manually. If necessary Allen keys (supplied) can be used to
install and remove the rods. (one key is put into the hole of the rod, the second – into the hole in
the base of sensor to prevent cranking of the base and damaging of the sensor)
WARNING! Using one key to install the rod is prohibited!
When using the rods, please, make sure that protective cuff fully touches the surface of the
ground. This helps to exclude the influence of unwanted noise. (Pic. 3.1).
If it is impossible to place the cuff so it fully touched the ground, provide as much silence as
possible. (Pic.3.2).
Pic. 3.1 Pic. 3.2
Indicated useful signal level fully depends on the position of the sensor. Comparison of signal
levels can be done only when the sensor is placed in multiple points at similar conditions..
Moreover, the signal level in each point should be measured several times and average value
should be considered as true.
Some elements of sensor are made of rubber, that is why it is restricted to clean the sensor with
sharp tools. It is also restricted to bash the sensor over hard surfaces in order to clean it off the
dirt. In order to clean the sensor rinse some water on it.

CAUTION!!
During leak detection works one should have a detailed diagram of underground
utilities. If there is no diagram, a preliminary pipeline route location should be
conducted. The level of valid signal and signal interference depends on the accuracy
of acoustic sensor placement over the pipeline axis.
Check the charge status of the batteries (the charge
should be no less than 4,0 V). If the battery charge is low,
replace the batteries
Check the accuracy of
sensor connection. If a «no

display ,,check if the
sensor is connected
