Page 9: Product Description
Product description General The FG 150 generator can energize electroconductive pipelines directly or indirectly. A continuous or pulsed alternating current is transmitted. The frequency and signal strength of the generator can be adapted to local conditions. To locate a pipeline energized by the generator, a receiver is re- quired whose reception frequency can be brought into line with the generator's transmission frequency. -
Page 10: Frequencies
To energize a pipeline, adjustments must be made to allow for the particular local requirements: ● Frequency ● Signal strength ● Signal behaviour When switching off, the frequency is saved; signal strength and signal behaviour are not saved. The following settings are saved permanently: ● Activation state of the frequencies (deactivated/activated) ● Individually added frequencies 2.3.1 Frequencies Various preset frequencies are available for energizing (sec-... -

This also applies if the Up key is pressed further and an increased signal strength is then displayed.

Energizing a pipeline WARNING! Danger of electrical shock! High voltages may be present at exposed parts of pipe- lines. ● Always observe the current rules when working near live pipelines. ● Do not touch any live parts (e. g. terminals, fittings, earthing spike) during direct energizing. -
Page 15: Setting The Frequency
Setting the frequency 3.2.1 Selecting the frequency The frequency for energizing must always be adapted to the local conditions. Note: The generator and receiver must operate at the same frequency. ● Adjust the frequency of the receiver to the frequency of the generator. -
Page 16: Adding A Frequency
3. Deactivate or activate the desired frequencies. a) Press the arrow keys to select a frequency. b) Press the pulse key to deactivate or activate the selected frequency. Frequency activated Frequency deactivated c) Press the On/Off key to apply the setting. 4. Press the Down key repeatedly until the main view appears again. -
Page 17: Adjusting The Signal Strength
3. Press the Down key until the Frequency list 3 view appears (fig. 5, right image). 4. Use the arrow keys to select a placeholder to be overwritten with an individual frequency. 5. Press the ON/OFF key. The placeholder is marked with Edit (fig. 4). -
Page 18: Selecting The Signal Behaviour
Selecting the signal behaviour On the generator it is possible to select between continuous sig- nal and pulsed signal. The generator is switched on. The display shows the main view. ● Press the pulse key to switch between continuous signal and pulsed signal. -
Page 19: Connection With Earthing Spike
● Always be especially careful when working with the earthing spike, especially in the vicinity of other per- sons. ● Avoid dropping the earthing spike. The earthing spike is placed in the ground. SEWERIN recom- mends: The distance from the earthing spike to the pipeline should be at least 3 m. 3 Energizing a pipeline │ 13... -

Page 22: Maintenance
Maintenance Recharging the battery The battery of the generator must be charged when necessary. The typical charging time is less than 7 hours. Always observe the permitted temperature range during charg- ing. If the temperature falls below or exceeds the limit values, charging stops until the temperature returns to within the per- mitted range. -
Page 23: Care
● Then allow the case to dry in a suitable environment with the lid open. Maintenance SEWERIN recommends: Have the generator serviced regularly by SEWERIN Service or an authorised professional. Only regular servicing can ensure that the generator is always ready for use. 4 Maintenance │ 17... -
