    5 Working Principles 5.1 General Information LKZ-710 system consists of two components: transmitter and receiver. The transmitter connected to the circuit being traced generates magnetic („M” mode) field around the circuit. It is created as a result of a suitably modulated current flowing through the tested (closed) circuit.

    The procedure is the same as for locating cables in a closed circuit (Fig.10 i 11). Note: You need to take into account that the current flowing through a metal pipe to the earth will do so using all possible routes.     Sonel S.A.
