Pinpointing Sheath Faults in „ESG“ Mode
81
Menu item Description
Activates/deactivates the maximum sensitivity.
By default, the sensitivity of the volt meter is limited to measurement values
>1 mV. In this way, low interference signals are ignored by the system and
unnecessary adjustments of scaling are avoided.
If it becomes necessary to begin fault location at a greater distance from
the sheath fault, the useful signal in certain circumstances is barely above
noise level. In these situations the maximum sensitivity should be activated
and the measurement range be expanded downwards to 5
μV.
