Remarks:
The transition resistance of the line break must be greater than 100kOhms.
•
Note that, when breaks in multi-conductor cables are traced, all the other
•
wires of the cable or of the shielded conductor must be earthed. This is
necessary to prevent cross coupling of the applied signals (by a capacitive
effect) on the terminals of the source.
The earth connected to the transmitter can be a auxiliary earth, the earthing
•
terminal of a power outlet, or a correctly earthed water pipe.
When the line is traced, the place at which the signal received by the receiver
•
falls off suddenly is the location of the break.
Refine the detection by setting the power level transmitted by the
transmitter and the sensitivity of the receiver in manual mode.
