Gallagher FAULT FINDER Notice D'installation page 7

1. The LCD indicates the
unit is in Fault
Finder mode by
displaying the
current in Amps.
If necessary push
the Mode bu on
to change from
Volt Meter mode
to Fault Finder
mode.
2. Place the Fault Finder
on the fence wire so
the wire lies in the top part of the Measurement slot and
making good contact with the contact plate.
3. The Arrow on the LCD will indicate which direc on the
current is fl owing. The LCD will display the current in
Amps.
4. Following the direc on of the current, take readings
approx. every 50 - 100m or at junc on points along your
fence line.
Note: At a junc on point,
follow the wire with the
highest current fl ow.
5. A fault is indicated by a drop
in current fl ow between two
checkpoints. The fault will be
somewhere between the two checkpoints.
Note: The arrow will s ll point in the direc on of the
current fl ow if greater than 1A.
6. To narrow down loca on of the fault, work back along
the fence checking the current fl ow at shorter intervals.
7. Correct the fault.
8. A er correc ng the fault you should see the current
reading drop and the voltage go up. If not, check for
further faults.
Note: Mul -wire fences connected in parallel will have
similar current fl owing in each wire. To get the total
fence current fl ow, add together the current fl ow in each
wire.
