How it works

Measurement is performed using one transmitter and one receiver. The transmitter feeds
signals into the cable to be checked. The signal is a modulated current that creates an
2 Sender TX: Set-up
The tracer requires no battery and is operated by the power supply. This means only live
cables can be tested. Before using the tracer, connect the required lead (4, 5, 6), ensuring
correct polarity. The device is operational when indicator lamp (1) is on.

Measurement under voltage! It is essential that you follow the safety instructions.
Connect the transmitter to the line to be measured.
Then switch on the receiver and start tracing, see Fig.
a and b. The receiver signal sounding indicates that
the measured object belongs to the same electrical
circuit. The receiver is able to detect cables up to a
maximum depth of 5 cm. Various installation condi-
