4. Instellen

1. Pak het apparaat uit: Carefully remove the tester and all accessories from its packaging.
2. Controleer op schade: Before each use, visually inspect the device, hoses, and connections for any signs of damage or wear. Do not use if damaged.
3. Prepare the Test System: Ensure the pipe system to be tested is isolated and drained (if applicable) according to relevant safety standards (e.g., DVGW-TRGI for gas, TRWI for water).
4. Sluit de tester aan: Select the appropriate adapter for the pipe system. Connect the tester's hose securely to the pipe system. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leakage.
5. Controleer vloeistofpeil: Verify that the fluid in the manometer is at the correct level. If necessary, refill according to manufacturer guidelines (refer to specific instructions for fluid type and level).

5. Gebruiksaanwijzing

The ROTEST GW 150/4 allows for leakage testing of both gas and water pipes. Always refer to the integrated measured value table in the housing cover for specific measurement times and pressures according to DVGW-TRGI and TRWI standards.

5.1. Performing a Leakage Test

1. Close all Outlets: Ensure all outlets and connections in the pipe system under test are securely closed.
2. Sluit de tester aan: As described in the Setup section, connect the tester to the pipe system.
3. Apply Test Pressure: Use the hand pump to slowly and steadily increase the pressure in the pipe system until the desired test pressure (as per DVGW-TRGI/TRWI) is reached on the manometer. Do not exceed 4 bar.

4. Observe Stabilization Period: Allow a short stabilization period (refer to standards) for the pressure to equalize within the system.
5. Monitor Pressure Drop: After the stabilization period, observe the manometer for the specified test duration (refer to standards). A significant drop in pressure indicates a leak.
6. Resultaten interpreteren: Compare the observed pressure drop (if any) against the permissible values specified in the relevant standards (DVGW-TRGI for gas, TRWI for water).
7. Druk aflaten: Carefully release the pressure from the system after the test is complete.
8. Disconnect Tester: Disconnect the tester from the pipe system.

6. Onderhoud

• Schoonmaak: After each use, clean the device and accessories with a damp doek. Gebruik geen schurende reinigingsmiddelen of oplosmiddelen.
• Hose and Seal Inspection: Regularly inspect hoses, seals, and connections for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately to ensure accurate testing and prevent leaks.
• Vloeistofcontrole: Periodically check the fluid level and clarity in the manometer. Replace the fluid if it appears cloudy or contaminated, following manufacturer guidelines.
• Opslag: Store the tester in its original case in a dry, dust-free environment.
