Налаштування

  1. Зарядні батареї: Ensure both the transmitter and receiver are fully charged using the provided Type-C charging cable. The devices are powered by rechargeable 3.7V 1500mAh lithium batteries.
  2. Увімкнення: Turn on both the transmitter and receiver using their respective ON/OFF buttons.
  3. Первинна перевірка: Perform a quick function check to ensure both units are operational before field use.

Інструкція з експлуатації

1. Locating Cable Breakpoints and Tracing Cable Routes

This procedure is used to find breaks in buried or hidden cables and to trace their path.

  1. Підготовка передавача: Set the transmitter to "SCAN" mode.
  2. Підключення передавача: Connect the red alligator clip of the transmitter to the exposed end of the target wire. Connect the black alligator clip to a separate ground point (e.g., a metal rod driven into the earth).
  3. Підготовка приймача: Turn the receiver on. Adjust the receiver's sensitivity knob (thumb wheel switch) to fine-tune the signal based on cable length and environmental conditions.
  4. Trace the Cable: Sweep the receiver approximately 3-4 meters (10-15 feet) away from the transmitter. Move the receiver along the suspected path of the cable.
  5. Identify Signal: The receiver will emit a beeping tone. The tone becomes fastest and strongest directly above the cable and fades as you move away from its path.
  6. Locate Breakpoint: Follow the tone. The point where the sound abruptly disappears or significantly weakens indicates the exact breakpoint in the cable.

2. Short Circuit & Continuity Diagnosis

This function allows for a quick check of continuity and short circuits in wires.

  1. Connect Clips: Connect both the red and black alligator clips of the transmitter to the two wires under test.
  2. Observe Indicator:
    • If a short circuit exists between the two wires, the Індикатор короткого замикання on the transmitter will light up red.
    • If the wires are continuous (no short circuit), the indicator will remain off.

3. Функція світлодіодного ліхтарика

The receiver is equipped with a built-in LED flashlight for use in low-light conditions.

  • Активувати ліхтарик: Press the ON/OFF/Lamp button on the receiver to turn the LED flashlight on or off.
  • This feature is useful for illuminating dark attics, basements, or for outdoor night work.
