Different signal intensities do not allow any assumptions regarding type and intensity of
the voltage present. A definite statement regarding the voltage present may only be made
when using a measurement instrument equipped with a display.
When testing mains connection cables for interruptions, make sure that both conductors
are connected once to the phase (turn mains plug by 180°).
3.19 Setting the Codes (Transmitter)
• Make sure that the meter is switched off before setting the codes.
• Press the sensitive key continuitly, then press Power key to turn on the meter.
• Press the sensitive key to select the code you want, such as 1-7.
• After setting and turn off the meter, turn on the meter again, the meter is now ready
for use.
• Code selection can be made as follows (1,2,3,4,5,6,7).
3.20 Important Application
For our example, we advise you to take a piece of a plastic-sheathed cable, for example.
Provisionally install 5m of this cable along the wall with nail clips at eye level as surface
mounting. Make sure that the wall is accessible from both sides. Create an artificial
interruption at a distance of 1.5m before the line terminal. The line terminals must be
open. Strip the interrrupted lead at the lead at the start of the light plastic-sheathed cable
and connect it via the measuring leads (supplied with the instrument) with (1) terminal of
the transmitter.
Connect terminal (2) of the transmitter to a suitable ground. All other cable leads must
also be connected to the transmitter and the same ground.
Switch in the transmitter via push button (5). Set the transmitter to “LEVEL I“ via button
(4). The transmitter function is indicated via the flashing of the signal lamp (3). During
the manufacture process, the transmitter has been programmed to display the letter “7“.
Change the Code via Jumper (7).
Switch, on the receiver via pushbutton (10). All segments are indicated on the display
(3) for a short period of time. This indicates that the receiver is functional and that the
batteries are full. When switching on the receiver, the instrument is automaticaly set to
”Automatic Mode”. To change the sensitivity press the button 6 or 9. Now, the “Manual
Mode” is activated.The sensitively range comprises 8 levels. The respective sensitivity
level, betweeen 1 and 8, is changed and
briefly displayed (3) by pressing buttons
(6 or 9). If a selective and position-de-
pendant search has to be performed
select the selective mode by pressing
the button 7 MODE.

Now touch the light-plastic sheathed
cable with your receiver just before the
location of the interruption. With button
(6 or 9) “SENSE“ set the sensitivity
level so as to just receive the “7“ signal.
The signal strength is indicated via the
bargraph (3). The display indicates the
signal sent. Together with this optical indication, an acoustic signal is also emitted from
the receiver. If the signal strength increases further, the bargraph (3) is illuminated one
after the other in accordance with the signal stength.
Now, using the lowest possible sensitivity level of the receiver, move along the cable and
past the interruption. The signal “7“ is not displayed any longer and the acoustic signal is
not audible any more. Repeat the same experiment on the other side of the wall.
For this, set the transmitter to “Level III“ using switch 4. Thus, the range increases by a
factor 5.
To perform the test, it is good to mark the location of the artificial interruption on the
opposite side of the wall. Select the sensitivity using button (6 or 9) to make sure that
the signal “7” is only just receivable. Trace the signal in the wall with the receiver until it
is no longer indicated. Localize the artificial interruption by systematically adjusting the
sensitivity.
Note:
The switching with button 4 from LEVEL I to LEVEL III the sensitivity of the Distance is
increased up to factor 5.
