Fluke 2042 - Tracing Installed Water and Heating Pipes (One-Pole Application)

Should the short-circuit resistance amount to more than 20 Ohm, you can try the experiment to de-
tect the error location by means of the line interruption mehtode. You can try with sufficient energy
to determine the error location (low ohmic connection) or to burn it in a way ensuring a line interrup-
tion.
• Systematically circle round the interruption by changing the sensitivity
The switching with button 4 from »LEVEL I« to »LEVEL III« the sensitvity of Distance is increa-
sed up to a factor of 5.
Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Tracing depth max. 0,5 meters.

The following has to be respected:
The line to be located must be separated from the
equipotential bonding.
For safety reasons the electrical system must not be
live!
Connect transmitter at foundation ground to the ground
socket. The second transmitter socket has to be con-
nected to the conductor to be located. Now the feed line
can be traced.
