  1. Traçat de cables:
    • 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. Ús d'auriculars: 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.
