2 Description of Locator-Set
The Audio Frequency System Locator-Set is used for route tracing and fault location of:
- electrical cables
- metallic gas and water pipes.
Functions and procedures
With the help of an audio frequency transmitter (TG20/50 or TG600) an electromagnetic field
in the cable is generated. The field is detected by sensors (e.g., detecting rod SP 30,).
The signal is amplified by the audio frequency receiver UL 30 and indicated acoustically via a
headphone or a loudspeaker or optically on the display.
Fields of application
With its various sensors and by selecting specific tracing and measuring methods a wide
range of applications is possible:
- Routing of cables and metallic pipes
- Depth determination of cables and metallic pipes
- Cable selection
- Cable detection even on live cables and lines
- Location of cable joints and branches
- Accurate pin-point fault location according to the BAUR twist method in conjunction
with the powerful Audio Frequency Transmitter TG20/50 or TG600.
- Accurate pin-point fault location in conjunction with the Surge Voltage Generator
SSG.
- Accurate pin-point fault location in piped cables by application of the acoustic
propagation time measurement.
