1 Usage Instructions
Please read these operating instructions carefully and completely before using the equipment and software for the first time. They contain important information regarding safety, installation, and use. Keep these instructions in a safe place.
1.1 Symbols
Warning of dangerous situations that can cause injury and damage to the devices.
Warning of non-ionising electromagnetic radiation.

Important notes and tips. Follow these guidelines. Never put in your household waste bin.

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 for safe operation of the equipment, and to protect yourself and others against potential dangers. Ignoring the warning, safety and operating instructions can cause injury, damage, or a considerable shortening of the equipment lifetime. Do not make any changes or alterations to our products.
The ZONESCAN 850 Logger uses a Lithium primary cell. Do not charge or short-circuit the battery or cell and do not physically damage or expose it to heat, fire, or water. Follow the transport stipulations of the carrier (IATA-DGR, IMDG-Code, ADR, RID) when returning the logger to Gutermann. For questions about replacing the battery, please contact your Gutermann distributor.
To fulfill the standards for human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, keep the logger at least 20 cm away from the body.

The logger has a strong magnet built into the bottom part. If you have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or a pacemaker, avoid close or prolonged contact with the logger and keep it at least 15 cm away from where your device is implanted.
The logger’s metallic housing may heat up or cool down depending on the environment it is being used in. Please consider using protective gear before touching the logger in such environments, e.g. when it has been exposed to the sun for an extended amount of time or is being used in sub-zero temperatures.
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, including traffic regulations.
1.3 Intended Use
The ZONESCAN 850 logger is intended for use by water suppliers to detect possible leaks in their water pipe networks. The logger is installed underground and attached to water pipes externally via the magnet in the bottom part of the logger. An internal microphone records sound from the water pipe. The resulting sound signal is recorded, stored, and can be retrieved via radio, using a Gutermann Commlink, and sent to the Gutermann ZONESCAN SMART app and Gutermann cloud service for analysis. The antenna required for the radio connection is attached to the logger directly or via cable and also intended to be installed below ground. See the section on Mechanical installation below for details.
ZONESCAN 850 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 damage caused by misuse, improper operation, and as a result of non-compliance with safety instructions and warnings.

3 Mechanical installation
Please refer to the ZONESCAN SMART manual for information on how to prepare and use the logger for measurements. The following is only about placing the device itself onto pipes and into chambers to ensure proper measurements and good reception.
3.1 Safety Precautions
You must ensure that there is adequate safety present when working at great heights, in deep chambers, or traffic situations.
Always thoroughly clean the logger 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 Installing the ZONESCAN 850 Logger
The ZONESCAN 850 Logger connects to the water pipes externally through the magnet in the bottom part of the logger. Typically, it is placed on a metal connector between pipe segments, such as a shutter or other connecting element. Make sure you place the logger on a piece that is actually part of the pipe system, so it can pick up the sound within the pipes. Do not place it on other parts of the chamber that happen to be magnetic but are not directly connected to the pipes.
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.
Not using an antenna (not connecting anything to the RSMA connector) may potentially damage the equipment when it is powered on.
The ZONESCAN 850 Logger has to be used only with the antenna provided with the device. Please refer to sections 0 and Error! Reference source not found. for details on selecting the right antenna.
3.3.1 Recommendations for Placing the Antenna
Place the antenna as high as possible, i.e. close to ground level. Horizontally, make sure to keep a distance of several centimeters from metal
surfaces such as the chamber walls. Place the antenna vertically (with the tip pointing upwards), preferably centred below
the cover of the chamber. If the cover has a metal perimeter, keep a distance of a few centimeters from it.

4.3 Firmware Updates
The firmware of the ZONESCAN 850 Logger can be updated to fix issues and implement additional features. Firmware updates will usually be done over the radio connection via the Gutermann Commlink and initiated from the ZONESCAN SMART app.
In rare cases, such as changes in the underlying technology, technical reasons may require that the logger be sent back to the factory to perform the upgrade.

5 Storage and Transport
In order to avoid unwanted radio transmissions and prevent battery depletion, send the logger to sleep using the “Logger Sleep Mode” option available from the main menu of the ZONESCAN SMART app.
Alternatively, open the Logger chassis and remove the battery.
