The Cable Locator consists of a transmitter and a receiver, which is a portable
measurement instrument and can be used to detect or trace conductors.
The signal generated by the transmitter is made of a modulated current, generating
an electro-magnetic field around a conductor. This electro-magnetic field induces
a voltage within the receiving coil. The induced voltage is amplified, decoded, and
converted to the original signal by the receiver, and finally displayed on the screen.
The connecting parameter for the transmitter during an application must be a
closed current circuit.
• Finding conductors in walls, conductor interruptions, short-circuits in conductors
• Conductor tracing in the soil
• Detecting fuses and assigning current circuits
• Tracing sockets and distribution sockets having accidentally been covered by
plastering
• Detecting interruptions and short-circuits in floor heating
• Tracing metallic water and heating piping
• All application areas (both, voltage-free and live) are performed without usin
any additional instruments
• Transmitter display indicates the transmission level, the transmission code, as
well as the foreign voltage
• Receiver display indicates the reception level, the transmission code, as well
as the mains voltage detection
• Automatic and manual sensitivity adjustment
• Acoustic reception signal may be switched off
• Auto-Power-Off function
• Backlight
• Additional lighting function when working under bad lighting conditions
• Additional transmitters are available to extend or distinguish several signals
The safety can no longer be insured if the instrument:
Shows obvious damage
does not carry out the desired measurements
has been stored for too long under unfavorable conditions
has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.
All relevant statutory regulations must be adhered to when using this instrument
