Operating Principle
The black “common” terminal of the transmitter must be connected to a suitable earth (Figure 2). Tracing
is possible up to a depth of 20 cm using this method, depending on the material through which the
transmitted signal and the receiver must travel.
5.3 Double pole method (In complete circuits)
Detecting short-circuits or identifying individual conductors, switches or sockets on circuits with or without
voltage. Both transmitter connections are required (Figure 2 and 3).
Tracing is possible up to a depth of 50 cm using this method, depending on the material through which the
transmitted signal and the receiver must travel.
Figure 2:
NOTE : Maximum tracing depth 50 cm
WARNING : Care must be taken when making any connection to live or potentially live circuits.
Correct safety procedures must be followed.
NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.
