  • Page 10: Instrument Structure

    Working background, principle Working background To locate cable faults, the T-506 needs to be used with a DC High Voltage Surge Generator. In the field, the discharge cycle and discharge voltage of the surge generator are adjusted as required, and a discharge signal is applied to the faulty cable. For cables of different voltage levels, the highest surge voltage allowable will vary.
  • Page 11: Working Principle

    3.2.3 Proximity sensing technology The T-506 can sense a person’s touch. When a human hand touches the metal part of the T-506 handle, the unit will automatically cut off the transmission of the sound signal to avoid the strong vibration caused by touching the instrument and stops its transmission to the headphones.

    Finally, replace the screws and charge the battery. The unit should then be operational. Install Probe Unpack and remove the T-506 detector and connect the probe as shown below. Depending on the nature of the ground environment (hard or soft), choose the appropriate probe.
  • Page 14: Installation And Adjustment Of The Handle

    Installation and adjustment of the handle Unpack and remove the T-506 handle and connect it to the main unit as shown below. First, align the lower end of the handle with the upper lever connector of the main unit as shown in Figure (a) (note the alignment of the lower opening of the handle and the connecting rod in the lever base).
  • Page 15 For ease of use the tablet PC can be used with the supplied harness, neck strap and belt which can be adjusted to suit the user. The initial use of the T-506 requires the assembly of the tablet and tablet stand. The tablet should be inserted into the harness as shown below.

  • Page 24 [Note] When the T-506 is triggered by the magnetic field signal, the sync indicator is red and continuously lit for 0.5s. After this it greys out until the next trigger. When the T-506 is not triggered by the magnetic field signal, the sync indicator is greyed out.
  • Page 25: Getting Started

    Getting Started Determine cable path In order to operate the T-506, a compatible DC high voltage surge generator is required. Its output is connected between an open end of the faulted core of the cable and the earth/ground of the cable under test, surge generator is adjusted so that its output discharge breaks down the fault in the cable.
  • Page 26: Looking For Fault Discharge

    [Note] When the T-506 is triggered by a magnetic field, the trigger light (red) of the main unit will flash at the same time. The blinking period is the time interval between the discharges from the DC high voltage surge generator.
  • Page 27: Closing In On The Fault

    Excessive volume in the headphones may be uncomfortable. [Note] Appropriate sound gain helps to improve the efficiency of the T-506 unit’s ability to intelligently identify the sound of faults. As a basic principle, in the Waveform interface, the maximum amplitude of the sound waveform should be at least two-thirds of the total height such that distortion at the top of the waveform does not occur;...

    Initiate remote assistance In the event of problems, the user should contact Kehui (info@kehui.com) to provide details of any error or query. If necessary, the remote assistance function of the APP can be used to upload data from the Pinpointer to assist with the interrogation of data. This facility is only available when there is a mobile phone network or the tablet is connected to WIFI.
  • Page 31: Instrument Charging

    Always use the dedicated charger with the detector. Insert the charger plug into a 220V/50Hz AC (or 110V/60Hz) power socket, and insert the output plug into the T-506 detector charging socket. The detector takes 3 hours from being completely discharged to full charge.
