5. Impostazione

Before operation, ensure both the transmitter and receiver are fully charged.

  1. Collegare il trasmettitore:
    • Connect the red alligator clip from the transmitter to the wire you wish to trace.
    • Connect the black alligator clip to a suitable ground point (e.g., a ground rod, a metal pipe, or the neutral line if applicable and safe).
    • Assicurare una connessione sicura per evitare la perdita del segnale.
  2. Accensione: Accendi sia il trasmettitore che il ricevitore.
  3. Regola la sensibilità: On the receiver, adjust the sensitivity level as needed. Start with a lower sensitivity and increase it if the signal is weak.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

Follow these steps to locate underground wires or cable breaks:

  1. Tracciamento dei cavi:
    • With the transmitter connected and powered on, hold the receiver and sweep it slowly over the area where the wire is suspected to be buried.
    • The receiver will emit an audible signal and display signal strength indicators (LEDs). The signal will be strongest directly above the wire.
    • Move the receiver back and forth to pinpoint the exact path of the wire.
  2. Locating Cable Breaks:
    • Connect the transmitter to one end of the suspected broken wire and a good ground.
    • Trace the wire as described above. The signal will abruptly weaken or disappear at the point of the break.
    • Confirm the break by testing from the other end of the wire if accessible.
  3. Utilizzando gli auricolari: For improved accuracy in noisy environments, plug the earphones into the receiver's jack. This allows for clearer detection of the signal.
  4. Using LED Flashlight: Press the dedicated button on the receiver to activate the LED flashlight for visibility in low-light conditions.
