TRANSMITTER LEADS OR CABLE BEING TESTED
WHILE THE TRANSMITTER IS ON. DO NOT USE THE
GFL3000 IN THE RAIN. FAILURE TO READ AND
UNDERSTAND THESE WARNINGS COULD LEAD TO
INJURY OR DEATH.
Tips and Notes
1.
If the cable contains many faults, this can be confusing. All
faults will exhibit some needle kick proportional to the
amount of current leaking there. If you are interested in
fixing all, just zero in on the first, fix, and start again with
the second. If you are looking for larger faults, turn the
transmitter power to low setting.
2.
Small faults may be indicated by weak kicks. This makes
sense when you consider that the amount of current
leaking is what you are sensing and small leaks produce
small current.
3.
It is not uncommon for the needle kicks to cease between
the transmitter and the fault. As you move farther from the
transmitter, the needle kick response should decrease, this
is normal. It may even stop kicking altogether. The needle
will begin to kick again when it comes into the proximity of
the fault. Continue on the path of the cable until the signal
returns (See Figure 6).
