    2. Increasing the transmission level from level 1 to level 3 with the " " button increases the detecting distance of the receiver by a factor of about 4. 3. When connecting the transmitter in a live circuit, adhere to local and national safety codes.
  • Page 15 Figure 9 Note: If the supply cable fed with the signal via the transmitter is located directly in parallel to other conductors( e.g. cable duct ) or if these conductors are crossed, the signal is also input into the other conductors. Increasing the transmission level from level 1 to level 3 with the "...
  • Page 16 Line interruption in the plastic-sheathed cable. The ground connected to the transmitter should be earth from a properly earthed socket or a water pipe that is properly earthed. When tracing line interruption in a multicore cable, note that all remaining leads in plastic-sheathed cable must be grounded in accordance with the regulations.
  • Page 17 Precise locating of line interruption using two transmitters ( one-pole application ) When locating a line interruption using one transmitter to feed from one conductor end, the location of line interruption may not be precisely located in case of bad condition due to a field disturbance. This drawback can be easily avoided when using two transmitters ( one from each end ) for line interruption detection.
  • Page 18 The transition resistance of a line interruption must be > 100 kOHM. The verification of resistance can be done by using a multimeter. Systematically circle the line interruption by changing the sensitivity of the receiver. Note: Increasing the transmission level from level 1 to level 3 with the " "...
  • Page 19 shown. Slowly move the receiver up and down over the rows of circuit breakers or fuses. During this process, if two or more circuit breakers ( or fuses ) caused the receiver to give signal indication, decrease the receiver's sensitivity and then scan slowly all breakers or fuses once more.
  • Page 20 Note: If the circuit breaker panel box is not far from the transmitter, the transmission level of the transmitter must be set to level 1. If the circuit breaker panel box is too far from the transmitter so that it is impossible to perform detection and locating, you should appropriately increase the transmission level of the transmitter according to actual condition.
  • Page 21 Setup of the receiver: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. If necessary,  adjust the sensitivity of the receiver according to the actual condition during detection. Max. tracing depth: about 2 meters  Locating of short-circuits in conductors ( double-pole application ) Requirements: All circuits within the cable must be dead.

Setup of the receiver: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. If necessary,  adjust the sensitivity of the receiver according to the actual condition during detection.
  • Page 23 Tracing installed water and heating pipes ( one-pole application ) Requirements: The line to be located must be separated from the equipotential  bonding. ( When you finish tracing water or heating pipes, remember to restore the line's connection which you have disconnected. ) Connect the transmitter in accordance with Figure 15.
  • Page 24 Tracing conductors buried in the soil ( single-pole application ) The connection is realized in compliance with Figure 16. Warning: Ensure that the current circuit is not live. Note: Make sure that the distance between the connection to the ground and the conductor to be detected is high.
  • Page 25 Locating a complete house wiring ( one-pole application ) Practical application example. In order to determine all electrical lines of a house within one working process, proceed as follows: Remove the bridge in the main distribution between " PE " and " N ". Warning: For safety reasons, the system must not be live! Connect the transmitter to the system in compliance with Figure 17.
  • Page 26 Following lines with higher location depth ( dual-pole application ) If the dual-pole application is carried out on multi-wire cables ( e.g. NYM 3 x1.5mm ), the location depth is widely limited. This is because the go-and-return lines are installed very closely. And as a result, a strong distortion of the magnetic field occurs.

  • Page 35: Instrument Calibration

    INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION To ensure measurement accuracy, the instrument must be periodically calibrated by our company. The recommended calibration interval is one year. If the instrument is used very often or if it is used under rough conditions, we recommend shorter intervals. If the instrument is used few times only, the calibration interval can be extended to 3 years.
