GENERAL INFORMATION

The MicroSonde MPL7-33 is small battery-operated transmitter that emits a 33 kHz signal, which can be located by a receiver operating on the same frequency. The MicroSonde is intended to be used in non-conductive ducts, cavities and structures. The device is intended for professional use.

ITEMS SUPPLIED

BATTERY INSTALLATION, TURNING ON AND OFF

Insert a BR535 battery. Observe polarity (Figure 1). To turn the MPL7-33 on, tighten the battery compartment. The LED at the tip of the MicroSonde will start flashing. Take care to fully tighten to avoid water getting into the device. To turn the MicroSonde off, unscrew battery compartment. Always remove the battery completely when you are not using the MicroSonde. When the battery has insufficient capacity left for carrying out measurements, the LED will turn off. Replace the battery. Low temperatures reduce the operating time of the battery. High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into liquids can cause leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries.

Precautions: Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into liquids.

OPERATING THE DEVICE

When the battery is inserted and the battery compartment attached, the MicroSonde will start emitting a 33 kHz signal. The location can now be detected with a receiver that operates at the same frequency, such as the Vesala CL43. Before use, ensure the MicroSonde is fully functional by locating the signal with a corresponding receiver. Refer to the user manual of the receiver on pinpointing the location of the MicroSonde. You can attach the MicroSonde to a duct rod, cable rodder, snake rod, push or pull rod using the thread at the end of the battery compartment. When using the device for blowing with compressed air, always blow with battery compartment end first. Refer to the user manual of the blowing unit and follow safe work practices.

• Use of compressed air can lead to the MicroSonde exiting the duct at great speed.

Precaution: Always use a catcher at the end of the duct. If changing the direction of the blowing due to the device getting stuck, remember to move the catcher to the other end of the duct. Do not blow the MicroSonde with pressure exceeding 6 bars. Always use safety goggles, when using the MPL7-33 with compressed air.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
Clean with clean, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive agents or solvents for cleaning. Take care to avoid dirt getting into the unit. Regularly inspect O-ring and replace if damaged. If water gets into the battery compartment, allow it to dry at room temperature.

STORAGE
Store inside storage box. Respect the temperature limits stated in the technical data when storing the device. Always remove the batteries from the product during storage to avoid leakage. After a long time of storage, check the function of the device.
