To perform the test, it is good to mark the location of the artificial interruption on the opposite side of
the wall. Select the sensitivity using button (15) to make sure that the signal "F” is only just receiva-
ble. Trace the signal in the wall with the receiver until it is no longer indicated. Localize the artificial
interruption by systematically adjusting the sensitivity.
The switching with button 4 from»LEVEL I«to»LEVEL III«the sensitivity of the Distance is in-
creased up to factor 5.
In open circuits (one pole application)
Line interruptions in walls and floors. Finding and tracing of lines, sockets, junction box, switches,
etc. for house installations. Finding bottlenecks, kinking and bucklings and obstructions in installati-
on pipes by means of a metal coil.
The ground connector must be connected to a suitable earth. A typical example would be an
earthed socket. The tracing depth amounts to 0...2 meters.
The tracing depth depends on the medium and application
In complete circuits (double pole application)
When detecting short-circuits or during wire sorting,
i.e circuits with or wihout voltage. Voltgage-free cir-
cuits are directly supplied by the instrument battery.
In live circuits , the transmitter is supplied directly by
the circuit connected. Switching from battery voltage
to circuit voltage is carried out automatically. The
transmitter is voltage-proof up to 400 V AC/DC.
Example for a complete circuit: Complete circuits
are apppropriate for: i.e. detecting sockets, swit-
ches, etc in live installations.
