3.1.8 Detecting power supply circuitry on the
same floor
When detecting the power supply circuit on the same
floor,please take the following steps:
1. Turn off the main switch on the distribution board.
2. Disconnect the neutral wire in the distribution box from
the neutral wires of other floors.
3. Connect the transmitter as shown in fig. 3-1-8
1. Make sure to properly ground the negative end of the
transmitter. The ground of the transmitter needs to be far
enough away from the pipeline in order for the signal to be
clearly received by the receiver.
2. Adjust the transmitter power to get an adequate signal
depending on the detection environment.
3. When using the receiver, the stronger the signal received,
the closer the transmitter is to the conductive tube/wire.
4. You can put the receiver into manual mode and adjust its
sensitivity to pick up the signal from the transmitter
adequately.

3.1.9 Tracking underground circuits
Preconditions:
The circuit CANNOT be charged
Connect the transmitter as shown in fig. 3-1-9
Make sure to properly ground the negative end of the
transmitter.
Put the transmitter into automatic mode.
Use the displayed signal strength to track the circuit.
1. The ground of the transmitter needs to be far enough
away from the pipeline in order for the signal to be clearly
received by the receiver.
2. Adjust the transmitter power to get an adequate signal
depending on the detection environment.
3. When using the receiver, the stronger the signal received,
the closer the transmitter is to the circuit.
