a) Switching the Devices On and Off
Press the operating button (10 or 16) to switch on the devices. Briefly press the button to switch on the
devices.
For switching them off, hold the button (10 or 16) for about 2 seconds.
Before working with the cable detector, insert the enclosed batteries. Insertion and changing of
batteries is described in the "Cleaning and Maintenance" chapter.
b) Measuring Methods
The cable detector can be operated in three different modes. The receiver has a visual and an audible
indicator in all modes.
Automatic Mode
Automatic mode permits fast cable detection. No settings need to be made.
The receiver automatically sets sensitivity to achieve the best measuring
results.
Manual Mode
Manual mode is perfect for selecting cables or performing measurements at a
higher sensitivity. The sensitivity must be set manually.
Press "MODE" to switch to manual mode. "SENSE" is displayed.
The arrows (6 and 9) are used to set sensitivity. The arches displayed corre-
spond to sensitivity as an isolation symbol (few arcs = high sensitivity, many
arches = low sensitivity).
Pressing "MODE" again will take you back to automatic mode.
Contact-free AC grid voltage detection "NCV"
The receiver makes it possible to find and follow grid-voltage conducting
cables in walls, under plaster, etc. The signal strength is indicated in the left
bar display. The farther the bar deflects, the stronger the AC signal.
To activate this function, press the button "NCV" (4). Pressing it again will back
to automatic mode.
