3.3 Method to increase the effective radius to detect circuits in load.
When the emitter is directly connected to the phase line and to the neutral wire
line the signals are conducted through two parallel circuits (as shown in Fig.
3-3-1), thus twisted circuits can sometimes emit signals that counteract each
other, leading to an effective radius of 0.5, at most. To eliminate this effect, the
connection should be as shown in Fig. 3-3-2, where the line uses separate
cables to increase the effective radius up to 2.5m, lines with greater distances
can be provided by the cable reel ( see Fig. 3-3-2).
WARNING
When connecting live circuits to the emitter, please observe the safety
instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
Pay attention to the distance between the emitter and the circuit to be
detected, to be able to clearly determine the circuit through the signals.
SUGGESTIONS
1. In the process of detecting the circuit, the stronger the signal indicated on
the digital tube of the detector, the closer the detected wire is.
2. Adjust the transmit power to accommodate different detection radii.
3. Select the manual mode of the receiver and an adequate sensitivity in the
reception to locate the circuit precisely.
