5. Упатства за работа

5.1. Basic Wire Tracing

1. Поврзете го предавателот: Connect the transmitter to the wire or pipe you wish to trace. For de-energized circuits, connect one lead to the target wire and the other to a known ground (using the ground rod if necessary). For energized circuits, connect directly to the live wire, ensuring safety precautions are followed.
2. Активирајте го предавателот: Turn on the transmitter and select an appropriate signal level.
3. Use Receiver: Turn on the receiver. Hold the receiver unit and move it along the suspected path of the wire or pipe. The display will show signal strength, and an audible tone will indicate proximity to the signal.
4. Прилагодете ја чувствителноста: Adjust the receiver's sensitivity as needed to pinpoint the exact location. Higher sensitivity is for deeper or weaker signals, lower sensitivity for precise localization.

5.2. Томtagд Откривање

1. Select Voltmeter Mode: On the transmitter, select the voltmeter function.
2. Поврзете се со колото: Connect the test leads to the circuit where you want to measure voltage.
3. Прочитајте го приказот: The display will show the detected DC or AC voltage.

5.3. Fault Detection (Short/Open Circuits)

1. Isolate Circuit: Ensure the circuit is de-energized before performing fault detection.
2. Поврзете го предавателот: Connect the transmitter to the ends of the cable segment you wish to test.
3. Analyze Signal: Use the receiver to trace the cable. A sudden loss of signal indicates an open circuit. A strong signal where it shouldn't be may indicate a short circuit or unintended connection.

6. Спецификации

7 Смена на проблеми

• No Signal Detected:
