Electrical cable tracing

1. Clamp the red alligator clip to the phase wire or the positive terminal of the testing cable; and clamp the black alligator clip to the grounding wire or to the grounding terminal of the testing cable. To trace a multicore cable, clamp the red alligator clip to any color core of the cable and then clamp the black alligator clip to the cable shielding or clamp it to ground.
2. Press button (5) to switch the transmitter to the scanning mode.
3. Turn the sensitivity adjustment knobs (6 and 15) to the maximum sensitivity.
4. Place the receiver near the cable bundle (or near the surface where the cable is hidden) and move the receiver along the cable to trace it. When the sensor is in close proximity to the target cable, the receiver will emit a beeping sound. To detect the cable more accurately, lower the sensitivity. The closer the device is to the object, the louder the signal will be.

The maximum voltage of the circuit to be tested with the use of the alligator clips shall not exceed 220V AC.

Telephone cable tracing

1. Connect a telephone cable or a network cable to the transmitter using the telephone adapter cable (8).
2. Press button (5) to switch the transmitter to the scanning mode.
3. Turn the sensitivity adjustment knob (6 and 15) to the maximum sensitivity.
4. Place the receiver near the cable bundle (or near the surface where the cable is hidden) and move the receiver along the cable to trace it. When the sensor is in close proximity to the target cable, the receiver will emit a beeping sound. To detect the cable more accurately, lower the sensitivity. The closer the device is to the object, the louder the signal will be.

Power cable tracing

1. Connect a power cable to the power cable socket (4) of the transmitter.
2. Press button (5) to switch the transmitter to the scanning mode.
3. Turn the sensitivity adjustment knob (6 and 15) to the maximum sensitivity.
4. Place the receiver near the cable bundle (or near the surface where the cable is hidden) and move the receiver along the cable to trace it. When the sensor is in close proximity to the target cable, the receiver will emit a beeping sound. To detect the cable more accurately, lower the sensitivity. The closer the device is to the object, the louder the signal will be.

! The maximum voltage of the circuit to be tested by means of connection to the power cable socket of the transmitter shall not exceed 400V.
! Observe the safety precautions to avoid the risk of electric shock.
