Locator

This function is intended for tracing mains installation, like:



Tracing lines,



Finding shorts, breaks in lines,



Detecting fuses.

The instrument generates test signals that can be traced with the handheld tracer receiver
R10K. See

Appendix C

– Locator receiver R10K

for additional information.
