ADDRA CT User manual NOTE: The INFO CODE can be changed only if the problem that activated it was solved. 3.2.1 BURST and LEAK BURST and LEAK INFO CODES initially are not active, these INFO CODES depend on water line pressure, specific water consumption etc. For BURST/LEAK alarm setting there are three parameters: Threshold (Liters/hour), Duration over Threshold (seconds) (DOT), Duration under Threshold (seconds) (DUT). Fig.1 is the illustration of the parameters mentioned above.

ADDRA CT User manual Fig.1 The illustration of the parameters Threshold, DOT, DUT. For the BURST: Duration over Threshold (seconds) represents admissible time interval during which actual flowrate could exceed the Threshold value (represents a water flowrate from which water meter stars to follow for alarm, Liters/hour), without any alarm. In this case, we have an “ordinary” water consumption. If we will maintain the flowrate higher than Threshold value during this time interval and will exceed it, the corresponding Burst alarm will appear both with special symbol on the display. Duration...

ADDRA CT User manual It is recommended temporary switching off communication device for 5-15 min to verify connection. For each water meter, this procedure is repeated. 3.2.5 SET THRESHOLD DURATION To track burst and leak alarms relevant threshold values should be specified: - Leak min under threshold duration; Leak min over threshold duration; Burst min under threshold duration; Burst min over threshold duration. To set threshold duration select: List of parameters appears:
