Important information on connecting the flexcoupler
The direction arrow of the flexcoupler should point towards the far end.
Position the flexcoupler closure as far as possible from the adjacent phases.
The closure is very sensitive to external couplings that can lead to wrong results if the
closure is close to a return phase.
Apply the flexcoupler for the cablibration the same as for the cable identification: Either
around the entire cable or around a phase. Otherwise, different signal amplitudes are
measured and the cable identification cannot be carried out successfully.

Safety instructions
WARNING
Danger due to electric voltage, flashovers at the connection point,
or arcing fault on connection
Electric shock on touching live and active parts and due to residual
charges and induction voltages;
Burns, electro-ophthalmia, hearing damage.
Use suitable personal protective equipment against electric shocks
and arcing faults.
Observe the phase breaks.
Ensure that adjacent live parts are secured against accidental
contact and flashovers with suitable covers (insulation mats,
insulating safety plates).
You may touch the parts that were under voltage only if they are
visibly earthed and short-circuited.
6.5.2
Ensure there is no voltage at the work place
Before connecting the test object follow the 5 safety rules:
1. Disconnect the test object from all phases.
2. Secure the test object against reconnection.
3. Ensure that there is no voltage.
4. In the station, connect all conductors of the test object with the station earth and
short-circuit it.
5. Secure adjacent live parts against accidental contact and flashovers with suitable covers.
