6. Instruccions de funcionament
Follow these steps to locate underground wires or cable breaks:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Using LED Flashlight: Press the dedicated button on the receiver to activate the LED flashlight for visibility in low-light conditions.
