Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Product description
The Megger MCT105 Cable Tracer and Fault Locator kit consists of a transmitter, receiver and ancillary leads.
It is designed to trace and aid fault location in cables, circuits or metallic conductors, such as pipes.
The signal produced by the transmitter is a modulated current, generating an electro-magnetic field around
the conductor. This field induces a voltage within the receiving coil. The induced voltage is measured,
amplified, decoded and converted to the original signal by the receiver, with the result finally displayed on
the screen as a simple signal strength.
1.2 Features
Tracing cables and conductors in walls
Identify cable and conductor interruptions (open-circuits) or short-circuit faults
Cable and conductor tracing in the soil
Identify fuses and circuit breakers within distribution boards
Detecting interruptions and short-circuits in floor heating
Tracing metallic water and heating piping
Transmitter display indicates signal level, the transmission code, as well as any voltage detected on the
output terminals
Receiver display indicates the signal strength, the transmission code, as well as the presence of mains
voltage
Automatic and manual sensitivity adjustment
Variable tone audible signal level on the receiver (may be switched off)
Auto-Power-Off function
Backlight on both transmitter and receiver displays
Torch function when working under bad lighting conditions
