Gid Enstalasyon

Before operating the PE2003-G, ensure all components are present and properly connected. The kit includes a rechargeable transmitter, receiver, A-frame, ground stake, 120V charger, and a 12V DC adapter.

  1. Charge the Transmitter: Connect the 120V charger or 12V DC adapter to the transmitter to ensure it is fully charged before use.
  2. Assemble the A-Frame and Receiver:

  3. Connect Lead Wires to Receiver: Attach the red and black lead wires to their respective ports on the receiver.
  4. Connect Black Lead to Ground Stake: Drive the ground stake into the earth near the area to be tested. Connect the black lead wire from the transmitter to the ground stake.

  5. Connect Red Lead to Faulty Wire: Connect the red lead wire from the transmitter to the wire or cable you suspect has a fault. Ensure a secure connection.

Enstriksyon Operasyon

The PE2003-G operates by sending a high-voltage signal through the faulty wire, which then leaks into the ground at the point of insulation damage. The A-frame receiver detects this leakage.

  1. Pouvwa sou: Turn on the transmitter unit.
  2. Position the A-Frame: Place the A-frame over the suspected path of the buried cable. The spikes on the A-frame should penetrate the ground.
  3. Observe the Receiver Needle: As you move the A-frame along the cable path, observe the needle on the receiver's analog meter.

    The needle will deflect towards the fault. The direction of the needle indicates the direction of the current flow towards the fault.

  4. Locate the Fault: Continue moving the A-frame, following the direction indicated by the receiver needle. The fault is located when the needle reverses direction or shows a significant change in reading. This indicates you have passed over the fault.

    The PE2003-G is designed to detect multiple faults on a single wire, which can help determine if a repair or full replacement is more appropriate.

  5. Ajiste sansiblite: Use the sensitivity knob on the receiver to adjust the responsiveness of the needle. Increase sensitivity for smaller faults or deeper cables, and decrease it to narrow down the fault location.
