receiver

Description

101

Connect transmitter and receiver. Press the

Start

button to calibrate.

122

Lay the receiver in the transmitter
bracket.



For the calibration, place the receiver in the transmitter

holder.

131

No signal.

This is not the searched cable.



Place the flexcoupler around another cable.

The loop resistance is too high.

132

Incorrect current polarity.

This is not the searched cable.

Flexcoupler is attached incorrectly.



Check the direction of the arrow on the flexcoupler. The

arrow must point in the direction of the cable end.

133

Loss of signal.

The signal decreases.

Possible causes: cable faults due to earth contact, T-branch or
earthed joints

138

Signal is too weak.

The amplitude fluctuations of the last three measurements were
too high. Therefore, no polarity and signal amplitude are
displayed.

139

No evaluation of signal amplitude
due to interferences.

The signal amplitude is not displayed, as it fluctuates greatly due
to interferences.

The pulse and its direction are identified.

180 –
184

No communication between
transmitter and receiver.

Receiver is not placed correctly in the transmitter holder.

Contacts on transmitter and/or receiver are dirty.



Clean the contacts.

190

Warning

: External voltage at

output.

KSG 200 (A): Risk of electric
shock!

Disconnect connection

cable from test object.



KSG 200 A: Disconnect the connection cable from the cable

that is to be identified. The connected cable is live.

You may carry out cable identification on live cables only with
KSG 200 TA.

KSG 200 T (A):

Note the

measurement category (CAT).



KSG 200 TA: Observe the safety instructions while carrying

out tasks on live cables.

193

Flexcoupler is defective.

During calibration and before each reading, the flexcoupler is
examined for any faults.



Contact BAUR After Sales Service and note down the

displayed infocode as well as the procedure that caused the
error.

194

Noise signal is too strong.

No measurement is possible. Due to high frequency noise
signals, the current pulse cannot be clearly detected.

195

Current is too high (I > 180 A).

Current pulse is greater than 180 A.
