5.2.4 Identification of the mains voltage search of the breaks in the current circuit
Preparation:
-
The circuit must be charged with AC
.
-
The measurement must be carried out in accordance with the following figure.
-
Set the transmitter to the mode “mains voltage identification” (UAC-mode).
- The found AC signals from the transmitter in the UAC mode only indicate whether the current circuit is
charged; the measurement of the exact voltage should be done with the help of the voltage measuring
function of the transmitter.
- When searching for the ends of multiple power lines, each line must be separately connected to the
phase line.
- For this application, a transmitter is not required (unless you want to use the voltage measuring function
of the transmitter to measure the voltage in the current circuit accurately).
- The columns that displayed on the transmitter for the signal strength and the signal frequency are
related to the voltage in the searched current circuit and the distance to this circuit. The higher the voltage
and the smaller the distance to the circuit is, the more columns are displayed, and the higher the signal
frequency then.
5.3 Additional measuring function
5.3.1 Voltage measurement with the transmitter
When the transmitter is applied to a live
(“voltage conducting”) current circuit and the external voltage is
higher than 12 V, the current voltage value is displayed at the bottom on the left on the monitor of the
transmitter. To distinguish between AC and DC circuits, the standardized symbols are used.
Simultaneously, a flash appears on the display, which is enclosed by a triangle.
5.3.2 Lamp function
Both devices have the option to activate a lamp in the form of three LEDs at the upper end of the meter.
Thus, also dark areas may be illuminated. In order to turn this function on, an appropriate button for the
lamp function must be pressed. To turn the lamp off again, the button for the lighting function must be
pressed again.
