ZoneScan Valve Lid

Aclara STAR® ZoneScan Leak-Detection System

Find and fix leaks fast with the Aclara STAR ZoneScan leak detection system. The industry’s only remotely correlated acoustic leak-detection system costeffectively identifies small leaks before they become major problems.

The STAR ZoneScan solution combines the fixed STAR Network system with leak-detection technology from Gutermann International. The system checks and analyzes noise characteristics on water lines at regularly scheduled intervals. Acoustic samples from each ZoneScan unit are collected by an Aclara meter transmitter, located in the pit lid, and then transferred to the utility via the network’s 450- to 470-MHz radio-frequency signal. There, the STAR ZoneScan leak detection software correlates the data to pinpoint the location of leaks, enabling focused, efficient operation of water utility resources.
