Line and probe location in “Ferrolux” mode

5.6

Cable identification using the reader coil IFA (optional)

Reader coil IFA is used to identify a cable carrying the signal of a connected audio

frequency generator within a cluster of several accessible cables (which were exposed

due to excavation work, for example).
When the reader coil is connected, the display unit starts in Ferrolux mode. However,

the screen display differs from the actual cable location mode (see page 41) in that the

elements relevant for finding the line (direction arrows, line orientation) are not

displayed. The strength of current and the depth are also not displayed when measuring

using the reader coil.

The reader coil is applied directly on the cable for the purposes of measurement, with

the curved base of the reader coil in contact with the cable. To ensure that the
SignalSelect display (see page 56) clearly identifies the target line with

, it must be

ensured that the





symbol on the top side of the coil and the arrow on the bottom

side is pointing in the direction of the current flow (i.e. away from the transmitter).
