The FlexiTrace has a maximum power rating of 1W. When using the FlexiTrace with a
Radiodetection Tx-5(B) or Tx-10(B) transmitter the output limit must be set to
1W in the
MAX P menu and the output voltage limit set to LOW in the MAX V menu.
No settings are required for the Tx-1 transmitter.
WARNING: Failure to follow the Tx-5(B) or Tx-10(B) instructions above may
result in the tip of the FlexiTrace becoming too hot to touch, resulting in risk of
personal injury and damage to the equipment.
Fault-finding with an A-Frame
The PLM and TLM models have the ability to detect cable sheath faults
accurately using an A-Frame accessory. The Tx-5 and Tx-10 provide a fault finding signal
that can be detected by the A-Frame as a result of the signal bleeding to ground through
damaged cable sheaths.
For a detailed guide to fault-finding, please refer to the operation manual.
Plug / Live cable connector
The plug connector is connected to the output of the transmitter and is used to put a signal
onto a line and trace it from a domestic mains plug to the service cable in the street.
The live cable connector can be used to apply a signal to a live cable. Only suitably
qualified personnel should use this equipment.
Submersible Double Depth Antenna
This antenna is connected to the locator and used to locate pipes and cables underwater
at depths down to 100 metres.
WARNING: use of the submersible antenna should be by fully licensed and
experienced personnel only, and only after fully reading the operation manual!

alkaline batteries.
