(1) Sensor of the Receiver Sensor of the receiver is used to detect the transmission signal. (2) Flashlight (3) LCD (4) ON/OFF Button Press the ON/OFF button to turn on or turn off the receiver. (5) MANU Button Press it to enter into the manual detection mode, there are 8 sensitivity levels to select.
6. Operation The transmitter has 3 different modes: ● Test mode: When the power is on, the transmitter is on the test mode. It can measure the AC or DC voltage of cable. When the user presses the TEST/STOP button, the transmitter will send a high frequency transmission signal down the cable.
Page 15
The receiver has 3 different modes: ● Auto detection mode: When the power is on, the receiver is on the auto detection mode to detect the high frequency transmission signal with the highest sensitivity. The speaker in the receiver will generate a tone(550Hz ~ 1.6kHz) and the bar-graph on the LCD indicates the signal strength.

BESANTEK Cable Locating: (1) Single-pole application: (a) Connect the "+" (red) terminal to a single conductor, and connect the "COM" (black) terminal to earth. If there are other conductors in the same piping, then they have to be earthed at the same time. In this case, the receiver can detect the NG position.

BESANTEK (b) Locating and tracing lines and outlets: The circuit must not be live when it is detected, connect the "+" (red) terminal of transmitter to the phase and the other "COM" (black) terminal to the protection earth wire. If the cable supplied...

BESANTEK measure the voltage of mains line and transmit the signal through the mains line, then the receiver can trace the mains line and detect the power socket is locating on the same mains line or not. -16- BESANTEK CANADA...

BESANTEK (b) The dead line connection: Connect the both terminals of transmitter to the two ends of wires in the line, and connect the wires together on the other end of line. In another method, connect the both terminals of transmitter to the two ends of a single line.

BESANTEK (3) Other application: (a) Detection of a metallic water supply and heating pipe: The pipe must be conductive, and so metallic. (for example galvanized steel) The pipe must not be earthed, and there is a relatively high resistance between itself and ground.
Page 21
BESANTEK (b) Tracing an underground circuit: The circuit to be measured must not be live. Connect the transmitter as show in the figure. The transmitter must be correctly earthed. Select the automatic mode of receiver to find and trace the circuit.
Page 22
BESANTEK ( d ) Non-contact voltage detection: The circuit must be connected to mains and live, and set the receiver to the UAc mode to detect. The AC si g nals detected by the receiver in the UAc mode indicated only whether the circuit is live or not.
7. Maintenance (1) Battery Replacement: When the " " symbol appears and flashes on the LCD, change new batteries as follows: ● Disconnect the test leads from the transmitter and turn off the power of the transmitter. Unscrew the battery cover and replace with new batteries(1.5V AAA ×...

(2) Cleaning and storage: WARNING To avoid electrical shock or damage to the instrument, do not get water inside the case. Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. If the is not to be used for more than 60 instrument days, please remove the batteries for storage.
