    The remote stethoscope antenna is a useful tool to help identify cables. However, it should not be used as identification before an unused cable is cut. Always follow company procedures when cutting disused or isolated cables. The vLoc3 Series Keypad On/Off button Reduce sensitivity Select frequency...

    When using the signal clamp, both ends of the target cable should be grounded. Apply the clamp below the ground point. Applying the clamp above the ground point will prevent the signal from finding the return path through the ground, so it is not advised. Note: Applying the SiS or SD signals requires the use of the SiS Signal clamp.

    59.6 120dB 512Hz Note the strongest signal as displayed on the bar graph in conjunction with the dB gain setting. The strongest signal will indicate the probable target cable. The remote antenna stethoscope can be used to help identify disused and isolated cables. This process can be further enhanced if the cable is isolated and is of twisted cable construction.

    3. Using the SD Signal The Remote Antenna is also capable of detecting SD signals. Apply the signal using the direct connection method. Remember to isolate the cable beforehand, as below. It is also preferable to use the ground stake as an independent ground.

    3.2 Identifying a cable with SD mode Having confirmed that the antenna is synchronized with the receiver, proceed to the cable's location to be identified. Place the antenna on each of the suspected cables, in turn, ensuring the correct orientation, i.e., the arrow on the antenna pointing away from the transmitter.

    Select an SIS signal from the transmitter (there are many available, but lower frequencies will create less bleed off to other lines, SiS 491Hz is a good frequency to start with). Connect the remote antenna and place it on the red transmitter lead. Place it with the arrow on the remote antenna, pointing away from the transmitter.

    Now press the "Enter" key. The screen should now show something similar to the below with the "+" icon showing little or no red shown in the distortion indicator. 52.1 25dB SiS8440 The system is now ready to identify the cable at the location of interest. Note that the SiS reset will revert to the default setting if the vLoc3 is switched off.

    4.3 Enhancing the loopback method of cable identification using the SIS signal As described before, a more reliable method of loop backing the signal on the cable is possible if the cable is out of service. This method can be further enhanced with the aid of the SIS signal.
