At some point you may find that the SD icon and start flashing – this is indicating that synchronization
with the transmitter has deteriorated and a reset is required.
Re-trace your line back to a point where a solid signal direction is obtained. Precisely pinpoint the line
and stand with your back to the direction of the transmitter as you did when you initiated the original sync
and press the “i” pushbutton then the enter pushbutton to re-sync with the transmitter signal.
Continue to locate, pinpoint and trace.
NOTE
If several lines are commonly bonded the Signal Direction will carry through to
the other lines. This is useful for locating multiple line installations.
However be aware that if a non target line is commonly bonded to the target
line that line will also appear as being “in Sync” with the target line.
When performing a reset, take care to ensure that you have not strayed from
the target line.

Using the Accessories
6.4.1
Using the LPC Separation Filter
The LPC separation filter (LPC) is used to safely inject a trace tone to a live cable via a domestic mains
socket, so that the cable can be traced from the premises to the connection in the street. It is suitable for
connecting to voltages between 100V AC and 250V AC.
Method:
Plug the LPC into the output socket of the transmitter. Identify a suitable main socket. If a switch is fitted to
the socket, switch off. Plug in the LPC to the mains socket and then switch back on. Set the LPC rotary
switch to match the two indicator lights. Set the transmitter to the frequency to be located.(8 kHz or 32 kHz
are good frequencies for this application). Set the output to mid range.
