Armada Technologies Pro871C Underground Cable Locator User Manual

소개

The Armada Technologies Pro871C Underground Cable Locator is designed for efficient and accurate tracing of various underground cabling types, including CATV, electrical, telephone, dog fencing, and landscape lighting. This manual provides detailed instructions for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your Pro871C locator to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

The Pro871C offers five distinct tracking modes: two direct connect modes, two inductive modes (built-in antenna and inductive clamp), and one passive 50/60Hz tracing mode. Users can utilize either null or peak reception methods to precisely locate the path of underground cables.

1. 배터리 설치

The Pro871C requires 8 D-cell batteries for the receiver wand and 1 9V battery for the transmitter. Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity.

• Receiver Wand: Locate the battery compartment on the receiver wand. Insert 8 D-cell batteries according to the polarity indicators. Securely close the compartment.
• 송신기: Locate the battery compartment on the transmitter. Insert 1 9V battery according to the polarity indicators. Securely close the compartment.

The unit features low battery indicator lights on both the wand and the transmitter. Replace batteries promptly when these indicators illuminate to ensure accurate readings.

2. 초기 점검

Before operation, perform a quick check:

• 모든 연결이 안전한지 확인하세요.
• Turn on both the transmitter and receiver to confirm power.
• Familiarize yourself with the controls and indicators on both units.

작동 지침

The Pro871C offers versatile tracing capabilities through its multiple modes. Select the appropriate mode based on the cable type and accessibility.

Tracing Modes

• Direct Connect Modes (2Khz and 33Khz):

  For direct connection to the cable to be traced. Connect the included alligator clip cord set from the transmitter to the target cable and a suitable ground point (e.g., ground stake). Select either the 2Khz or 33Khz frequency on the transmitter. This method provides the most accurate trace.

• Inductive Modes (Built-in Antenna or Inductive Clamp):

  These modes are used when direct connection to the cable is not feasible. The transmitter induces a signal onto the cable wirelessly.

  • Built-in Inductive Antenna: Place the transmitter directly over the suspected cable path.
  • 유도성 Clamp: Clamp the inductive clamp around the cable (if accessible above ground, e.g., at a junction box) and connect it to the transmitter. This provides a stronger induced signal than the built-in antenna.
• Passive 50/60Hz Tracing Mode:

  This mode allows tracing of live electrical cables by detecting the ambient 50/60Hz frequency they emit. No transmitter connection is required for this mode.

수신 방법

Once the transmitter is active (or in passive mode), use the receiver wand to follow the signal:

• Visual Meter: The receiver's display provides a visual indication of signal strength.
• 외부 스피커: An audible tone indicates signal presence and strength.
• 헤드셋 : For clearer audio reception, especially in noisy environments, connect the included headset to the receiver. Both the speaker and headset have volume control.

Null or Peak Reception Modes

The receiver supports both Null and Peak reception modes for precise cable location:

• 피크 모드: The signal strength is strongest directly over the cable. This is generally easier for initial tracing.
• Null Mode: The signal strength is weakest directly over the cable, providing a sharper, more precise indication of the cable's exact center.

Experiment with both modes to determine which works best for your specific tracing scenario.

유지

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliability of your Pro871C locator.

• 청소: Wipe down the units with a soft, damp 사용 후에는 천으로 닦아주세요. 연마성 세제나 용제를 사용하지 마세요.
• 배터리 교체: Replace batteries as soon as the low battery indicators illuminate. Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• 저장: Store the Pro871C in its original carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• 점검: Periodically inspect cables, connectors, and the inductive clamp 마모나 손상의 흔적이 있는지 확인하세요.
