3.13 Locating a complete house wiring (one-pole application)
In order to determine all electrical lines of a
house within one working process, proceed
as follows:
• Remove the bridge in the main distribution
between "PE" and "N".
• Connect the transmitter to the system
compliance with the figure 13. Now, the
neutral conductor, being present within the
total system, may be followed.
For safety reasons, the system must not
be live!
Note:
The switching with button 4 from "LEVEL I"
to "LEVEL III" the sensitvity of Distance is
increased up to a factor of 5.
Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Tracing depth max. 2 meters.
3.14 Following lines with higher location depth (dual-pole application)
If the dual-pole application is carried out on multi-wire cables, the location depth is widely
limited. The reason is that the go-and-return lines are installed very closely.
Thus, a strong distortion of the magnetic field occurs. The electro-magnetic field may not
develop at the bottleneck. This limitation can easily be eliminated when using a separate
conductor to simulate the return line. This separate conductor allevel is a larger spreading
of the electro-magnetic field. Any conductor or cable reel can be used as separate return
conductor.
When tracing the conductors, special care has to be taken that the distance between go-
and-return-line is larger than the location depth. In practical applications, this amounts to
approx. 2.0 meters..

For this application, humid walls, plaster, etc.have only an insignificant influence on the
location depth
• The current circuit must not be live.
• Connect the transmitter in
compliance with the figure 14.
• The distance between go-and-
return line must be minimum 2.0
meters to 2.5 meters or more.
• Proceed as described in the
application example.
Note:
The switching with button 4 from
"LEVEL I" to > 2m "LEVEL III"
the sensitvity of Distance is increased up to a factor of 5.
Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Tracing depth max. 2.5 meters.
3.15 Tracing Conductors Within the soil (single-pole application)
The connection is realised in compliance with Figure 15.
Ensure that the current circuit is not live.
Make sure that the distance between the connection to the ground and the conductor
to be detected is high. If the distance is too close, no definite assignment of the signal
received can be made to one conductor.
The tracing depth amounts to maximum 2 meters. Furthermore, the tracing depth strongly
depends on the soil characteristics.
• Set the receiver to automatic mode.
• Now, search or trace the conductor
by means of the signal intensity
displayed.
When circling the receiver slowly
across the conductor to be searched,
the display values change considerably.
The display of the maximum signal
intensity is performed directly via the
conductor.
