• Contact-free AC grid voltage detection ("NCV")
The receiver makes it possible to find and follow grid-voltage conducting cables in walls, under plaster, etc. The
signal strength is indicated on the left-hand side of the display. More bars indicate a stronger AC signal.
To activate this function, press the "NCV" button (4). Pressing the button again will take you back to automatic
mode.
• Singe-Pole Measurement
The cable detector can also follow a signal in interrupted circuits by using a high-frequency input signal.
This method makes it possible to find cable breaks, cable knots, loose outlets, etc.
The device must be connected to a cable. The reference potential is implemented through a known earth potential
(water line, heating pipe, etc.).
Note:
- The detection depth is 0–2 metres, depending on the wall material.
- The applicable safety provisions for working with voltages must be followed.
• Two-Pole Measurement
Two-pole signal tracing is used for correctly connected electrical circuits without an error point or for localising
fuses, line courses, etc. It can be performed on powered-down or live cables. The transmitter is voltage-proof up
to 400 V.
The connection must always be between phase (L1) and neutral (N). When the protective conductor (PE) is used,
proper function of the protective conductor must be assured. Advance tests are not required.
