C.1 Tracing principles
C.1.1 Positioning the receiver
The receiver has to be correctly positioned (see the figures below) to obtain the best
results! Also wire position can be defined this way.

C.1.2 Positioning current clamp
Whenever it is possible to embrace the traced wire it is recommended to use the
appropriate current clamp instead of the receiver inductive sensor (see figure below). By
using the clamp, the signal selectivity will considerably improve.
Always keep maximum distance between current clamp and R10K.
