Battery/mains operation Battery/mains operation The FLG 12 features a high-capacity Li-ion rechargeable battery that can be operated at maximum transmission power for around 2.5 hours when fully charged. At a lower transmission power, an operating period of more than 10 hours is possible.
Setup/connection Setup/connection WARNING Risk of injury from electric shock The voltage at the signal output sockets can exhibit values of >25 V, making them dangerous to touch. The device may only be switched on after connection to the measurement object! Operation on voltage-free lines WARNING Risk of fatal injury from electric shock...

Setup/connection A direct connection to the measurement object must be made using the connection cables provided. Depending on the purpose of the measurement and the method used, the type of connection may vary. When locating/routing cables, a signal return current must be ensured through contact with the ground or, if necessary, through connection to an alternative conductor.
Page 16
Setup/connection Particularly in cases where the lines are without ground isolation, the other end of the cable should be grounded or a loop test should be carried out where possible. Specific connection methods for locating sleeves and faults in twisted multi- core cables are provided in the operating instructions for the audio frequency receiver.
Selective inductive coupling by means of transmitter tongs With the aid of suitable feeding pliers from the range of Megger products, the audio frequency signal can also be inductively coupled to a specific cable or pipe as well. To do so, the pliers are placed around the conductor as shown below.
Putting the generator into operation Putting the generator into operation General Switching on the Once the generator has been connected, it can be switched on by pressing the button generator briefly. Directly after switching on the generator, load detection is performed and internal load matching is automatically performed on the basis of the load impedance determined.
