5. Impostazione

5.1. Carica del dispositivo

The FY8178 transmitter and receiver units are powered by 3.7V/1000mAh Lithium-ion batteries and can be charged directly via USB-Type-C.

Video 1: Unboxing and USB-C Charging Demonstration

1. Connect the provided USB-Type-C cable to the charging ports on both the transmitter and receiver units.
2. Plug the USB-A end into a compatible power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
3. The charging indicator will show the charging status. Ensure both units are fully charged before first use.

5.2. Collegamento dei puntali di prova

For most detection tasks, you will need to connect the test leads to the transmitter unit:

1. Insert the red test lead into the red input terminal on the transmitter.
2. Insert the black test lead into the black input terminal on the transmitter.
3. Attach the alligator clips to the ends of the cable you wish to test.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

6.1. Dispositivo suview e controlli

Familiarize yourself with the controls on both the transmitter and receiver units:

Figure 2: Transmitter and Receiver Controls

Controlli del trasmettitore:

• Pulsante di accensione: Turns the transmitter unit on/off.
• Pulsante tono digitale: Activates digital wire-seeking mode.
• Pulsante tono analogico: Activates analog wire-seeking mode.
• Pulsante livello: Adjusts sensitivity (1-5 gears) for the transmitted signal.
• Pulsante CONT: Avvia il rilevamento della continuità.

Controlli del ricevitore:

• Pulsante ON/OFF/Torcia: Powers the receiver on/off and activates the built-in flashlight.
• Pulsante tono digitale: Selects digital tone mode for receiving.
• Pulsante tono analogico: Selects analog tone mode for receiving.
• Manopola di regolazione del volume lato ricezione: Adjusts receiver sensitivity (clockwise for strengthening, counter-clockwise for weakening).
• Tubo di segnalazione: Flexible probe for precise tracing.
• Indicatore della potenza del segnale: LED bar graph indicating signal strength.

6.2. Modalità di funzionamento

6.2.1. Digital Wire Finding

This mode offers strong anti-interference ability and higher accuracy, ideal for complex environments.

1. Connect the transmitter to the cable you wish to trace using the alligator clips.
2. Accendere sia l'unità trasmittente che quella ricevente.
3. Press the 'Digital Tone' button on both the transmitter and receiver to activate digital mode.
4. Use the receiver's signal hose to scan along the suspected path of the cable. The LED signal strength indicator on the receiver will illuminate, and an audible tone will increase in frequency or volume as you get closer to the cable.

6.2.2. Analog Line Search

This mode provides a wide range of received signals and strong sensitivity, suitable for general wire hunting.

1. Collegare il trasmettitore al cavo che si desidera tracciare.
2. Accendere entrambe le unità.
3. Press the 'Analog Tone' button on both the transmitter and receiver.
4. Adjust the sensitivity knob on the receiver for optimal detection. Clockwise rotation strengthens the signal, counter-clockwise weakens it.
5. Scan with the receiver's signal hose. The audible tone and LED indicators will guide you.

6.2.3. Continuity Detection

Use this function to check if a cable is intact or has a break (on-off detection).

1. Connect the red and black alligator clips from the transmitter to the two ends of the cable you want to test.
2. Accendere il trasmettitore.
3. Press the 'CONT' button on the transmitter.
4. The transmitter's display will indicate whether the circuit is continuous or disconnected.

6.2.4. Underground/Wall Line Detection

This detector can detect the continuity, presence, and route of cables or wires buried underground or within walls, with a detection depth of up to 2 meters.

1. Connect the transmitter to one end of the cable you want to trace.
2. Connect the grounding pestle to the black test lead of the transmitter and insert it firmly into the ground near the cable's starting point.
3. Power on both units and select either Digital or Analog Tone mode.
4. Use the receiver to scan the area where the cable is suspected to be buried or hidden. The signal strength will increase as you approach the cable.

6.2.5. Cable Finding (1000M+)

The device is capable of locating various types of cables, including metal wires, network cables, and telephone cables, over distances exceeding 1000 meters.

1. Follow the steps for Digital or Analog Wire Finding (Sections 6.2.1 or 6.2.2).
2. Ensure the transmitter is connected to the cable and transmitting a signal.
3. Walk along the suspected path of the cable with the receiver, observing the signal strength indicators to pinpoint its location.

10. Suggerimenti per l'utente

• For best results in noisy environments or when precision is critical, utilize the Digital Tone mode for its strong anti-interference capabilities.
• When tracing long lines or in areas with varying signal strength, start with a lower sensitivity setting on the receiver and gradually increase it as needed to pinpoint the signal accurately.
• Always ensure a good ground connection when performing underground detection. A poor ground can significantly reduce detection range and accuracy.
• Regularly check the battery indicator on both units to avoid unexpected power loss during critical tasks.
• The flexible signal hose on the receiver allows for precise targeting in tight spaces or when trying to differentiate between closely spaced cables.
