Live plug connector- to trace domestic power wiring
circuits
Do not use the supplied Direct Connect leads to
connect to live cables, use the Live Plug Connector.
Failure to do so may result in injury or equipment
damage. Connection to live power cables should only
beundertakenbyqualifiedpersonnel.TheLivePlug
Connector applies the Transmitter signal to a live
domestic power socket and, via the domestic wiring
system, to the utility and supply cable in the street.
Connect the Live Cable Connector to the Transmitter
accessory socket and the mains power socket, then
switch the Transmitter and the power socket on.
NOTE: The Live Plug Connector provides protection to 250V AC.
FlexiTrace™ – to locate non-metallic utilities
FlexiTrace™isa164'(50m)or260'(80m)flexible
conductive rod with a built-in Sonde that can be
inserted into non-metallic pipes and ducts to allow them
to be located at depths of up to 10' (3 m). FlexiTrace
can be inserted into a pipe or duct as small as ½"
(12 mm) internal diameter, and with bends as tight as
10" (250 mm). To use as a Sonde, connect both
transmitter leads to the FlexiTrace lugs. In this mode,
only the tip of the FlexiTrace will be locatable. To trace
the whole length, connect the red transmitter lead to a
FlexiTrace terminal and ground the black lead, either to
the earth stake or to an appropriate earthing point.
