Locating Of Short-Circuits In Conductors (Doubel-Pole Applicaion); Tracing Installed Water And Heating Pipes (One-Pole Application); Detedting The Direction Of Water And Heating Pipes Already Installed (One-Pole Application) - koban KCL-01 Mode D'emploi

KCL-01
Note: Set transmitter to LEVEL I
The switching with button 4 from "LEVEL I" to "LEVEL III" the sensitvity of Distance is
increased up to s factor of 5.
Setup: selective mode, minimal sensitivity
Safety cut-outs of different manufacturers have different installation positions for
magnetic coils. If no evident signal can be found by the receiver in the position shown
below it is advised to modify the position by 90° towards the left or the right.
3.10 Locating of short-circuits in conductors (double-pole application)
When locating of shrot-circuits in
conductors, any existing circuits
within the cable must be voltage-free;
connect transmitter in accordance
with Figure 10; and carry out
this example as described in the
application example.
Note that the tracing depth for
sheathed cable and conductors are
different due to the fact that the
individual leads in the sheathed cable
are twisted around themselves.
Usually, short-circuits can only be correctly detected when the short-circuit resistance is
lower than 20 Ohm. The verification of the short-circuit resistance can be carried out with
any multimeter.
Should the short-circuit resistance amount to more than 20 Ohm, you can try the
experiment to detect the error location by means of the line interruption mehtode. You can
try with sufficient energy to determine the error location (low ohmic connection) or to
burn it in a way ensuring a line interruption.
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. 0,5 meters.

3.11 Tracing installed water and heating pipes (one-pole application)

The tracing conditions: The line to be located must be separated from the equipotential
bonding.
For safety reasons the electrical system must not be live!
Connect transmitter at foundation
ground to the ground socket. The second
transmitter socket has to be connected
to the conductor to be located. Now the
feed line can be traced.
The switching with button 4 from "LEVEL
I" to "LEVEL III" the sensitivity of
Distance is increased up to a factor of 5.
Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity.
Tracing depth max. 2 meters.
3.12 Detecting the direction of water and heating pipes already installed (one-pole
application)
When detecting the direction of water
Figure 10
and heating pipes already installed,
the respective water and heating pipes
must be suitably grounded; connect the
transmitter according figure 12; and
carry out this example as described in
the application example.
Note:
The earth of a properly earthed socket
is a suitable ground. The switching with
button 4 from "LEVEL I" to "LEVEL III"
the sensitivity of Distance is increased
up to a factor of 5.
Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Tracing depth max. 2.5 meters.
