Product description

Operating principles

The cable detector consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter generates a modulated current signal that creates an electromagnetic field around a connected conductor. This electromagnetic field is detected and evaluated by the receiver.

In the receiver, three receiver coils are used in automatic and manual mode. They enable position-independent operation.

All parameters are indicated in the transmitter and receiver dis-play.
The receiver can be used as a contact-free voltage detector and a torch independently of the transmitter. A voltage test is only performed for grid alternate current. The display can be lit for a short time if you are working in a badly lit environment.

Transmitter and receiver switch off automatically if they were not
operated over an extended period of time. This saves battery power and extends the period of operation. The cable detector can be used for hobby or professional applications.

Measuring
Do not exceed the maximum permitted input values. Do not touch any circuits or parts of circuits if there could be voltages higher than 50 V A Crms or 75 V/DC present within them. Danger to life!
Before measuring, check the connected measuring accessories for damage such as, for example, cuts, cracks or squeezing. Never use defective measuring equipment! Danger to life!
During measuring, do not grip beyond the tangible grip range markings present on the test prods.
Measuring is only permitted when the battery and fuse compartment is closed.

Switching the devices on/off
Briefly press the operating button (10 or 16) to switch on the devices. For switching them off, hold the button (10 or 16) for about 2 seconds.

Before working with the cable detector, insert the endorsed batteries. Insertion and changing of batteries is described in the “Cleaning and care” chapter.

Measuring methods
The cable detector can be operated in three different modes. The receiver has a visual and an audible indicator in all modes.

Automatic Mode
Automatic mode permits fast cable detection. No settings need to be made. The receiver automatically sets sensitivity to achieve the best measuring results.

Manual Mode
Manual mode is perfect for selecting cables or performing measurements at a higher sensitivity. The sensitivity must be set manually.
Press “MODE” to switch to manual mode. “SENSE” is displayed.
The arrows (6 and 9) are used to set sensitivity. The arches displayed correspond to sensitivity as an isolation symbol (few arcs = high sensitivity, many arches = low sensitivity).
Pressing “MODE” again will take you back to automatic mode.

Contact-free AC grid voltage detection “NCV”
The receiver makes it possible to find and follow grid-voltage conducting cables in walls, under plaster, etc. The signal strength is indicated in the left bar display. The farther the bar deflects, the stronger the AC signal.
To activate this function, press the button “NCV” (4). Pressing it again will go back to automatic mode.

Singe-pole measurement:
The cable detector can follow a signal in interrupted circuits as well by using a high-frequency input signal. This method makes it possible to find cable breaks, cable knots, loose outlets, etc.
The device is connected to a cable. The reference potential is implemented through a known earth potential (water line, heating pipe, etc.).

Note:

• Detection depth is 0 – 2 meters, depending on the  wall material.

The applicable safety provisions for work with volt-age must be complied with.

Two-pole measurement:
Two-pole signal tracing is used for correctly connected electrical circuits without an error point or for localizing fuses, line courses, etc. It can be performed on powered-down or live cables. The transmitter is voltage-proof up to 400 V.

The connection must always be between phase (L1) and neutral (N) conductor. When the protective conductor (PE) must be used, proper function of the protective conductor must be assured. Advance tests are not required.

If the current error protection switch is triggered when the transmitter is connected, a low error current is probably already present and causes it switch to trigger together with the test current. Have the system checked by an electrician.
The applicable safety provisions for work with volt-age must be complied with.

Note:

• Detection depth is 0 – 0.5 meters, depending on the wall material. Switching of the signal level from level to III increases the signal range by about five times its value.

Device functions
Display illumination
The display can be lit at any time if you are working in a badly lit environment.
To switch on the transmitter (LSG-10B), hold down the button with the light icon (15) for about 2 seconds. Repeat this for switching it off again. Switch off the display illumination manually when you no longer need it.
Briefly press the button with the light icon (8) at the receiver (LSG-10). Repeat this for switching it off again. Switch off the display illumination manually when you no longer need it.

Switch on the torch
An LED torch is integrated in the receiver.
Press the button with the torch icon (5) for switching it on or off. After approx. 1 minute, the LED lamp goes out automatically to protect the battery.

Deactivate acoustic signal at the receiver
In normal operation, the acoustic display is always on. The signal sound can be switched off for quiet areas of use (e.g. offices, theatre, etc.). Keep the button with the sound icon (8) pressed for about 2 seconds. The display shows a crossed-out speaker symbol. For switching it on, hold down the button again for about 2 seconds. The speaker symbol disappears.

Auto power-off
Transmitter and receiver switch off automatically after a certain time if no button is pressed. This function protects the battery, saves battery power and extends the service life.
Auto-off time receiver approx. 10 minutes
Auto-off time transmitter: approx. 1 hour

Setting the signal code
The default setting for the signal code is 1. If you want to use several transmitters in one cable test, the transmitter code can be changed to a value between 1 and 7.

To set it, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the transmitter.

2. Keep the “LEVEL” (15) button pressed and turn on the transmitter. Then release the operating button (16). The pre-determined signal code appears in the dis-play. Now release the other button.

3. Pressing the button “LEVEL” again will switch one code up each time and then
   start again from the beginning.

4. When you have set the desired code, press the operating button (16) shortly.
   The transmitter returns to the normal operating mode. The selected code is active and displayed.

Performing test measurements
Before using the cable detector for the first time, familiarize yourself with its function. This works best with a simulated error source.

1. Take a piece of 3-pole installation cable (approx. 5 meters) and attach it temporarily to a wall that is accessible from the front and back. Remove the jacket isolation approx. 1.5 m away from the cable end. Cut one of the cable’s conductors.
2. Connect the transmitter to the test cable as indicated.
3. Connect the interrupted conductor to the red measuring socket, the other conductors to the black one. Also connect the black socket to the earth potential.
4. Switch on the transmitter and receiver.
5. Move the receiver along the cable until the interruption is recognized. Repeat this on both sides of the wall. 6. Vary the signal strength at the transmitter or the sensitivity at the receiver (manual mode) for the best possible test result.

Application examples

Do not exceed the maximum permitted input values. Do not touch any circuits or parts of circuits if there could be voltages higher than 50 V ACrms or 75 V/DC present within them. Danger to life! Measurements at live installations must only be performed by technically instructed staff.

In the following, you will see more examples for the applications the cable detector can be used for.

Tracing the cable/finding outlets
Switch off the fuse and power down the electrical circuit.
The protective and neutral conductors must be properly connected.
Switch on the transmitter and connect it to phase and protective conductor (earth) as illustrated. Move the receiver’s sensor head along the wall.

Crossing or parallel cable branches are also indicated with this method.

Finding cable breaks
Switch off the fuse and power down the electrical circuit.
Proceed as described for the test measurement. Connect the lines you do not need to the same socket with the earth.
Move the receiver over the wall in circling motions until you have found the interruption.

The cable break must be high-impedance (>100 kohm).

Finding cable breaks with 2 transmitters
Switch off the fuse and power down the electrical circuit.
This method makes it possible to locate the error from two sides. A different signal code is set for each transmitter. The receiver can be used to easily determine the respective signal direction. The transmitter number is indicated accordingly.

Advantage: The two search signals will not interfere with each other.

When you have found the location of the fault, the receiver will no longer show any signal code, because both signals have the same strength there.

The cable break must be high-impedance (>100 kOhm).

Finding errors in electric floor heating
Ensure that there is no insulating foil/mat with an earth connection above the heating wires. If required, disconnect this earth connection before measuring, or the error site will not be easy to locate. The signal should be fed from both sides. It is more comfortable to use a second transmitter unit with a different signal code.

Finding cable knots in installation tubes
Switch off the fuse and power down the electrical circuit.
Power down any other cables in the tube and connect them to the earth potential
Insert a cable probe (copper wire) or a draw wire up to the bottleneck of the installation tube.
Connect the cable probe with a transmitter socket. Connect the second measuring socket to the earth potential.
Determine the error site my moving the receiver in slow circles. Sensitivity can be adapted accordingly.

Finding fuses and electrical circuits
Measuring under grid voltage! Observe safety provisions.

Connect the transmitter to a live grid outlet at the phase (L1) and neutral (N) conductors.
Trace the search signal in the sub-distributor. Where required, reduce sensitivity to find the right fuse. Turn the receiver by 90° longitudinally to reliably detect the different circuit breakers (solenoid coil direction).
To achieve a better result, you should measure right at the connections.

Attention! The cover must only be removed by electricians.

Finding short circuits in cables
Switch off the fuse and power down the electrical circuit. Connect the transmitter to the damaged cables as indicated.

The short circuit must be low-impedance (<20 Ohm). If necessary, check this again with a multimeter.

Note:

• If the line resistance exceeds 20 Ohm, you  can try using the search method described for a cable break.

Tracing installed water pipes
Disconnect the water pipes to be traced from the equipotential bonding rail.
Switch off the fuse and power down the system. Connect one measuring socket of the transmitter to the potential balancer.
The second connection is placed right on the water pipe/metal pipe to be traced.
Trace the pipe’s course with the receiver.

Finding heating tubes in the floor
For the best search results, the heating pipes should be disconnected from the earth connection. Connect the transmitter to the heater’s metal pipe and an earth connection.

Note:

• Suitable earth connections are any power outlet protective conductors.

Trace the pipe’s course with the receiver.

Locating a complete electrical installation
Switch off the fuses and power down the whole system. This measurement requires manipulating the main electrical distribution system and must only be performed by an electrician.

With the cable detector, all present outlets and cables can be determined and checked for contact. Remove the main distribution bridge between the protective con-ductor “PE” and the neutral conductor “N”.
Connect the transmitter to the distribution main of “N” and “PE”.

The neutral conductor can be traced through the complete system with the receiver.

Tracing lines at a deeper position
Switch off the fuse and power down the electrical circuit.
For the two-pole measuring method, the search signal of lines close to each other often affects itself. This is reflected in a lower search depth.
To prevent this problem, you can use an additional power cable for the return (e.g. an extension, cable drum, etc.).
The distance between the lines in either direction must be at least 2 meters. Thus, the electrical field can spread sufficiently.

Tracing lines in the ground
Switch off the fuse and power down the electrical circuit.
The distance between the clamp or earth cable and the connected earth potential must be as large as possible. When the distance is too small, the earth cable cannot be detected reliably.
Move the receiver over the ground very slowly. The highest signal strength indicates the earth cable’s course. The signal strength for the line decreases when the distance increases.

Increasing sensitivity when measuring under voltage
Measuring under grid voltage! Observe safety provisions.
For the two-pole measuring method under voltage the search signal of lines close to each other often affects itself. This is reflected in a lower search depth.
To prevent this problem, you can use an additional power cable for the return (e.g. an extension, cable drum, etc.).

The distance between the lines in either direction should be at least 2 meters. Thus, the electrical field can spread sufficiently and the auxiliary line does not influence the search signal.

Connect the transmitter to a connection at the outlet to be found.
The second connection can be attached, e.g. to a cable drum connected to another outlet of the same circuit.
This increases sensitivity greatly.

Identification of routed power cables
Switch off the fuses and power down the electrical circuits.
The different wires in the cable must be twisted on one side so that they are electrically conductive. Connect the transmitter with two poles to the cable to be tested at the open cable side.

Where several transmitters are used, the work effort for moving the transmitter elsewhere. When several transmitters are used, every transmitter needs a separate signal code.
Move the receiver along the cables’ twisted side. The respective signal code is indicated on the display The
cables can be identified.

Finding interruption in grid lines
This test does not require a transmitter.
The mains cable must be under mains voltage.
Put the transmitter into the contact-free voltage test mode “NCV”. Move the receiver along the mains cable starting at the outlet. When the mains volt-age is recognized, a signal sounds and the bar display is activated.
When the break is reached, the sound goes out and the bar display disappears.

Note:

• The tone height and deflection of the bar display depends on the distance and voltage height of the mains cable.
• Repeat the test with the mains plug turned by 180°. This prevents overlooking an interruption of the neutral conductor.

Troubleshooting

In purchasing the cable detector, you have acquired a product which has been designed to the state of the art and is operationally reliable. Nevertheless, problems or errors may occur. For this reason, the following is a description of how you can eliminate possible malfunctions yourself.

Always follow the safety instructions!

Check the fuse in the transmitter LSG-10B
An integrated fuse protects the transmitter from wrong operation or overload. The ceramic high performance fuse must only be replaced by a specialist.

In the following, we describe how to reliably recognize a defective fuse:
Disconnect all the measuring lines from the measuring circuits.
Switch on the transmitter and select signal level 1.
Connect a measuring cable to the red measuring socket.
Switch on the receiver and move the sensor tip to the measuring cable.
Plug the open end of the measuring line into the black measuring socket of your transmitter.
If the signal level doubles, the fuse is okay. If the signal level at the receiver does not change, the internal fuse is defective.

Repairs other than those described above may only be carried out by an authorized specialist. If you have queries about handling the measuring device, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.

Cleaning and care

General
Apart from occasional cleaning and battery replacements, the cable detector requires no servicing. The battery change is described below.

Regularly check the technical safety of the instrument and measuring leads, e.g. check for damage to the housing or squashing etc.

Cleaning
Always observe the following safety instructions before cleaning the device:

Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or parts are removed (unless this can be done without tools).

The connected lines must be disconnected from the measuring device and all measuring objects prior to cleaning or repairing the device. Switch the device off.

Do not use any carbon-containing cleaning agents or petrol, alcohol or the like to clean the product. These could corrode the surface of the meter. Furthermore, the fumes are hazardous to your health and explosive. Moreover, you should not use sharp-edged tools, screwdrivers or metal brushes or similar for cleaning.
When cleaning the device or the display and the measuring lines, use a clean, lint-free, antistatic, slightly damp cloth. Allow the product to dry completely before you use it again to conduct measurements.

Inserting and changing the batteries
Operation of the device requires a 9 V battery (e.g. 1604A). You need to insert a new, charged battery prior to initial operation or when the battery change symbols appear on the display.

Proceed as follows to insert or change the batteries:

1. Separate the connected measuring lines from the measuring circuit and the measuring device. Switch off the
   device.

2. Open the battery compartment on the rear.

3. Replace the flat batteries with new one of the same type. Place a new battery into the battery compartment (11 or 17), observing the correct polarity. Observe the correct polarity indicated in the battery compartment.

4. Now, dose the housing carefully.

Never operate the measuring device when it is open. !RISK OF FATAL INJURY! Do not leave flat batteries in the device. Even batteries protected against leaking can corrode and thus release chemicals which may be detrimental to your health or destroy the device.
Do not leave batteries lying around carelessly. They could be swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Remove the batteries if the device is not used for longer periods of time to prevent leaking.
Leaking or damaged batteries may cause alkali burns if they come in contact with the skin. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into the fire.
Batteries must not be recharged or dismantled. Danger of explosion!
