Page 3: Introduction
The CL10 Cable & Pipe Locator was designed to address this serious safety issue with maximum flexibility. The CL10 consists of two main units—a transmitter and a receiver—and a set of accessories. -

Page 7: Setup Instructions
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS INSTALL BATTERIES The CL10 transmitter is powered by one “9V” battery (included). The CL10 receiver is powered by six “AAA” batteries (also included). To install the “9V” battery in the transmitter: 1. Turn the unit over and lift the fold-out stand (Fig. 2, Callout 13) to expose the battery compartment (Callout 14). -
Page 8: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SINGLE-POLE CIRCUIT APPLICATIONS For all single-pole applications described in this section, the transmitter is connected to only one conductor of a cable or AC line. The return is to ground (earth). In all of the applications in this section, the transmitter sends a digital code and an analog signal at the radio frequency (RF) of 125 kHz through the conductor to ground. -

8. When the probe of the receiver passes the location of the cable or line break, both indications of received signal amplitude will show a sharp reduction and then disappear. At this moment, press the MANUAL button on the receiver (Fig. 4, Callout 8) and move the probe slightly back in the opposite direction. -

With the first transmitter sending Code F and the second transmitter sending Code C, complete the procedure by performing Steps 5 through 9. The same CL10 receiver will display different codes on either side of the cable or line break. When the receiver displays no code, it is positioned directly at the break, where the codes overlap. -
Page 11: Locating A Blockage In A Non-Metallic Pipe
Locating a Blockage in a Non-metallic Pipe The basic procedure used in all of the previous applications also can be used to locate a blockage in a non-conductive (plastic, for example) pipe. In this case, the + terminal of transmitter is connected to a metal tube or piece of flexible conduit thin enough to be fed into the pipe, as shown in Fig. -
Page 12: Two-Pole Circuit Applications
TWO-POLE CIRCUIT APPLICATIONS For all two-pole applications (U.S. 240VAC) described in this section, you will create a closed circuit by attaching both test leads of the transmitter to the power circuit’s conductors (lines). The exact connection depends on whether the power circuit is live (energized) or dead (de-energized). -
Page 13: Identifying The Fuse Or Circuit Breaker Associated With An Ac Outlet
Identifying the Fuse or Circuit Breaker Associated with an AC Outlet Unlike inexpensive AC-powered circuit breaker finders, the CL10 can identify the breaker associated with an outlet of a de-energized circuit because the CL10’s transmitter is battery-powered. Before proceeding with this application, you should reduce the transmitter’s output... -

To counter this effect, consider making the connection shown in Fig. 14. Use of a cable reel can increase the transmitter’s effective radius to 10 ft. or more. USING THE RECEIVER AS A VOLTMETER Fig. 14. Using a cable reel to To use the receiver as a voltmeter: increase the transmitter’s 1. -

In this case, if the CL10 is under warranty, contact General’s Customer Service Department to arrange to return the unit for repair. -
Page 17: Operating & Maintenance Tips
To change the fuse (if it blows following expiration of the 1-year limited warranty term), you must open the CL10’s housing. To do so: 1. Turn the unit over and remove the two Philips-head screws at the top corners of the back half of the housing. -
