1 Introduction

FERROLUX is the trademark of a complete measuring system


registered by Seba Dynatronic® which has proved its worth for decades.
It is for use in the following fields: operation of power cables,
telecommunication cable systems, municipal water and gas supply
systems, geodesy and construction industry.

FERROLUX audio frequency systems are universally applicable,


portable instruments for managing all kinds of localization problems. Its
straight-forward principle of operation, i.e. evaluation of electromagnetic
fields generated in the audio frequency range, allows all kinds of
localization problems to be managed such as locating metal pipes,
cable search, cable selection, depth measurement of pipes and cables,
localizing die positions of sleeves and loading coil pots, sounding of
land, pinpointing low-resistive cable faults and detecting reversed wires
on telecommunication cables, phase determination and locating faults
on pipeline and cable systems with cathodic corrosion protection.
The complete audio frequency set is made up of a generator the output
power of which is matched to the respective application and a universal
receiver with inductive, capacitive and direct-coupled sensors
connected to it.
A comprehensive range of special accessory units allows the operator
to take measurements of audio-frequency step voltage using capacitive
or direct-coupled methods, as desired. In this manner line-to ground
faults on plastic-sheathed cables or sheath faults can precisely be
pinpointed.

2 Technical Description

2.1 General Description / Fields of Application


The maximum output power of the FERROLUX Audio Frequency (AF)
Generator FLG 200 is 200 Watt. Two power ranges are selectable:
0 … 10 W (LOW) in steps of 0.5 W
0 … 200 W (HIGH) in steps of 10 W

The maximum output power of the FERROLUX Audio Frequency (AF)


Generator FLG 50 is 50 Watt. Two power ranges are selectable:
0 … 10 W (LOW) in steps of 0.5 W
0 … 50 W (HIGH) in steps of 2.5 W

The output signal is quartz stabilized in frequency and absolutely


sinusoidal in waveform, it can be transmitted in continuous or pulsed
mode. The standard configuration includes 491 Hz, 982 Hz and
8440 Hz as available output frequencies. In special cases of application
further frequencies may be provided, if so desired by the customer.
The generator is equipped with an automatic facility by which it matches
to any connected load impedance, which may occur in practice. The
matched value which is equal to the connected impedance [ Z ] is
indicated on the LC screen. Output power may be adjusted by means of
the keys on the operator control panel.

The generator can be direct-coupled to the line to be tested or it can be


coupled by induction via a clamp.
For inductive coupling put the transmitter clamps around the cable or
pipeline to be located. In this manner the generator signal is transmitted
selectively to the test object. You may use any available transmitter
frequency. As optional extra the transmitter clamp UZ 100 (100 mm
inside diameter) is available.

This method of coupling can also be employed on a cable, which is still


energised. This method is suitable for coupling telecommunication and
signal cables, provided that they are equipped with a ground-connected
shield, metal sheath or protective-ground conductor, without causing
any unwanted side effect.
Special voltage-proof filters allow coupling to power lines carrying up to
400 V (DC and AC). In this manner a line can be located selectively
while it is active. There is no need to shut the line down.

3 Safety

When using the Audio Frequency Generator, always observe the


relevant safety precautions applicable to the device and additionally the
ones applicable to the mode of connection. Due to the measuring
principle applied, the measuring circuit is absolutely separated from the
power supply unit and from the technical structure of the device.

The grounding socket [12] on the side or backside of the instrument


should be connected to a good safety ground potential with the
green/yellow grounding lead provided in the set of cables. This will
ground exposed parts of the instrument. The socket [12] is connected
internally with the safety ground of the power cord.

The two output sockets may carry a voltage of up to 280 Vrms


(FLG 50 -M / -P) or 500 Vrms (FLG 200 -M / -P) at the uppermost stage
of impedance matching! A high-voltage arrow [9] will be displayed on
the screen whenever the output voltage of the generator exceeds 40 V.

The measuring circuit is floating, it is not connected to the instrument


case. We advise not to use the case as the point of grounding for the
measuring circuit, even with the case being connected to ground by
means of the ground lead. Voltage-carrying cables and lines as well
as pipelines with cathodic protection may introduce voltage into the
instrument, which would also be carried by the metal parts of the
case and so represent voltage which is dangerous to touch. This is
why you are absolutely required to connect the case of the device to
ground.

Attention !
When using ground rods, make sure that the device is switched on only
after the ground rods have been connected and inserted. Never pull an
ground rod out as long as the generator is switched on ! [dangerous
voltage]

Note !
Before making a direct connection from AF-Generator to a cable,
always use a voltmeter to make sure that the cable is actually dead
(does not carry voltage).
It is true that the internal protective circuit of the instrument will signal
any applied extraneous voltage and disable the switching-on of the
generator. Nevertheless you cannot exclude that there may be a danger
to life and instrumentation.

4 Operating Instructions

Figure 2 : FLG 200 / FLG 50, portable version

4.1 Description of Connector Elements, Controls and


Indicators
The following description refers to the connector elements and controls
as indicated on Figure 1.

4.1.1 AC Power Button


This button (1) will turn the instrument on and off. If the instrument is
turned on the button will be lit green.

4.1.2 Matching / Stand-by


This button (2) has the following functions:
If the button is pressed when the instrument is turned on, it will
switch from stand-by mode to generator operation and provide an
audio frequency signal at the output (11). The LOW mode with
max. 10 W will be selected.
Pressing the button while a signal is transmitted, the generator will
be re-matched to its load impedance and the measuring values
will be updated. For as long as re-matching is under way, the
screen will not indicate any measurement value but display a
bargraph running from top to bottom. Frequency and signal
waveform / timing mode will not be changed. An acoustic signal will
sound as soon as re-matching has been finished.
Keep button (2) pressed if you want to switch the instrument into
stand-by mode until the “bargraph” disappears totally.
To turn the instrument off completely, press the AC power button
(1).

MAN_FLG50_FLG200_eng_01.DOC
Operating Manual
FLG 200 M/-P & 50 M/-P 12
4.1.3 Switching between Power Levels LOW and HIGH
The button (3) will change between power levels LOW (max. 10 W) and
HIGH (max. output of respective instrument). Changing the power level
will also start a new matching process and update the measured values
on the display.

Attention !
When connected to a transmitter clamp UZ 100 only operate the
generator in LOW level (max. 10 W). The max. input power of the clamp
is 10 W. Exceeding this power level can harm or destroy the clamp.

4.1.4 Frequency Selection


This button (4) is for switching between possible output frequencies.
There is an internal EPROM in which the frequencies to be selected are
stored.
Since any switching of frequency may result in a change of load
impedance (inductive or capacitive component), re-matching is carried
out after each change. The output power re-calibrates to the set value.
The available frequencies are toggled if you press the key several
times.
The selected frequency is enabled after a short delay.
This instrument also includes mode automatic frequency selection - a
special mode of frequency selection when making direct connection to
the test object.
Automatic frequency selection is enabled by pressing button Frequency
selection (4) and the right arrow button (7) one after the other.
As a result of measuring impedance, the FLG will automatically select
the optimum frequency for the lowest load impedance.

Ω/V/A/ϕ
4.1.5 Measuring Mode (Ω ϕ)
This button (5) is for switching the mode of indication between load
resistance, voltage, current and phase displacement.
When depressing the key for a while, the measured quantities will be
indicated one after another (in rolling mode).
Load resistance and phase displacement (between output voltage- and
current) indicate the properties of the connected test object. For
instance, high load resistance in combination with direct transmitter
coupling may be caused by poor grounding conditions.
The indication of current will give you a clue of the electromagnetic field
strength to be expected along the line. The indication of voltage serves
mainly as a warning of voltage possibly dangerous to touch.

4.1.6 Signal Waveform / Timing / “Signal Select”


Three different modes of operation can be selected with button (6).
The upper icon indicates the operational Mode “Signal Select”. The
Generator produces a specially coded audio frequency signal, which
can be couple either direct galvanically or by transmitter clamp.

MAN_FLG50_FLG200_eng_01.DOC
Operating Manual
FLG 200 M/-P & 50 M/-P 13
This procedure becomes very hand in case of very close installed
parallel lines.
With the receiver system FLE 10 / FS 10 / Mini antenna this signal is
detected above the target line, the direction is evaluated and displayed.

If the middle icon, "Sine Wave" is indicated, a purely sinusoidal signal is


transmitted.
The lower icon indicates mode Multi-frequency operation. A multiple-
frequency signal is supplied to the output sockets, which is made up of
two or three audio frequencies as stored in the software. In mode Multi-
frequency operation the individual frequencies involved are indicated
alternately top left on the screen whereas in mode “Signal Select” and
Sine the currently selected frequency is indicated as a fixed value.

If you select the pulsed mode, the icon of the selected waveform either
Single or Multi-Frequency will blink with the pulse frequency.
Pressing the key several times causes the individual waveforms or
modes of pulsing to be displayed one after the other. After 3 seconds
the selected setting is taken over and impedance re-matching is carried
out.
In the “Signal Select” Mode, pulsing and the operation with transmitter
antenna is not possible.

4.1.7 Increasing Output Power


The button (7) will increase the output power. Here, too an acoustic
signal will sound to confirm the change of power. Output power will be
increased step by step if the button is kept pressed for a moment. The
selected power level is set after the key has been released.

4.1.8 Decreasing Output Power


The output power is decreased with the button (8) in the same way as
under chapter 4.1.7.

If a high-resistive load (>1kΩ) or no load at all is connected to the


output sockets, the generator works primarily as a source of AC
voltage. In this event output voltage can be adjusted by pressing either
of keys (7, 8). For this mode of operation the mode of indication is set at
voltage measurement (V). Output voltage and signal waveform can
furthermore be selected at will.

Warning of voltage >40V at output sockets (9)

If the high-voltage icon (HV arrow) is displayed on the screen, the


output sockets carry a voltage, which is higher than 40 V.
This operating condition can be regarded quite normal in mode
transmission if the connected load is high-resistive and an output
voltage of more than 40 V has been selected

MAN_FLG50_FLG200_eng_01.DOC
Operating Manual
FLG 200 M/-P & 50 M/-P 14
When the generator is switched on (mode transmission), the output
sockets are checked for absence of voltage. If extraneous voltage
(>20 V) is detected, an optical warning (flashing high-voltage arrow) is
displayed and an acoustic warning rings out. In this case the generator
cannot be switched on to avoid any damage to the instrument. You will
need to remove the extraneous voltage or use a separating filter before
you can switch the instrument on.

4.1.9 Audio Frequency Output Sockets


Sockets (11) are for making connection to the test object (transmitter
clamps, cables, pipeline etc.) using the cables HSK 23 of the set of
cables VL FLG 200.

Attention !
At the FLG 50 -M /-P the output voltage may be as high as 280 Vrms
(dangerous to contact!).
At the FLG 200 -M /-P the output voltage may be as high as 500 Vrms
(dangerous on contact!).

4.2 Power Supply

4.2.1 Supply Voltage and Power Input


The generator FLG 200 -M /-P and FLG 50 -M /-P require a supply
voltage of 100 V to 240 V at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. An internal wide range
power supply features a Power Factor Compensation (PFC).
The maximum power consumption of the FLG 200 -M /-P is 400 VA and
of the FLG 50 -M /-P it is approx. 120 VA.

4.2.2 AC Power Input and Fuses


The power supply of the FLG is realized connecting the power cord
NKG 1 to the power socket (10). The power input is double-pole fused.

Attention !
Danger of electric shock ! Always disconnect the power cord from the
power supply before changing fuses. Only use fuses of the correct
specifications.

5 Care and Maintenance

The FLG 200 -M /-P and FLG 50 -M /-P are designed for indoor use or
operation in dry weather conditions (protection class IP 20).
Avoid exposure to water. If the FLG generator has accidentally be
exposed to humidity, immediately disconnect the power supply. The
generator must not be used under these conditions.

Attention !
Danger of electric shock ! Humidity by condensation can occur if the
instrument is taken from a cold into a warmer environment. In this case
the instrument has to be unplugged from power supply until the
instrument has warmed up to ambient temperature.

Use a soft cloth and some household detergent, if need be, to remove
any soiling.

RESET

The FERROLUX generator is controlled by a microprocessor. If the


instrument does not react to any kind of user input, you may execute a
hardware reset operation.

Turn the generator off using the Power ON button (1). This will
also reset the instrument.
Keep the generator turned off for at least 5 seconds. Then turn it
back on and adjust frequency, signal type and output power as
desired.

6 Description of Applications

6.1 Direct Coupling


The basic principle of direct coupling is to directly connect the cable or
pipeline to be located to the generator by means of connecting leads to
crate an audio-frequency current flow through the line to be searched.
In doing so please make sure that there is actually a closed loop from
one output socket to the other. If there is any interruption no matter
where, you will not be able to do any locating. Please use the supplied
connecting leads to make connection as follows:

6.1.1 Locating a Pipeline using a Ground Rod


Insert the ground rod into the ground at a distance of approx. 20 m and
an angle of 45° in relation to the assumed route of the pipeline. Make
sure that there is perfect contact between ground and ground rod. The
ground should be moistened at the place of contact, if need be. Make
use of Cable drum HK 25 or HK 100 (100 m), available as optional
extra, for making connection between generator and ground rod. Use
one of the short connecting leads to connect the generator to the drum.
You will find the appropriate socket at the side of the drum. Fix the
connecting clamp to one end of the other short connecting lead and
attach the clamp to the accessible section of the pipeline. Here, too you
have to make sure that contact is not hampered by paint or corrosion.
Insert the other plug into the second output socket of the generator. By
now both output sockets should be occupied.

Operating Manual
FLG 200 M/-P & 50 M/-P 20
Note:
If you are forced to use a long connecting lead to the ground rod, e.g.
due to using a cable drum, do make sure that this lead is laid out as far
away as possible from the line to be searched. In no event shall it be
placed above the line to be located, otherwise you will inescapably get
erroneous results.

6.1.2 Locating a Pipeline by Loop Measurement


Follow Figure 4 when connecting both ends of the tested pipeline to
both output sockets of the generator by means of connecting leads of
appropriate length (drum 25 m or 100 m). In this manner the audio
frequency current is forced to flow along the line to be located. The
connecting leads may have any length. You should make sure,
however, that they are always unreeled full length to avoid the choking
coil effect of reeled conductors. In no event shall the connecting leads
be laid out above or near the pipeline to be searched.
It is a benefit of this method of coupling that the return current flows
along the auxiliary lead. As a consequence there is no return current
along any other cable or pipeline, which avoids any electrical
interference.
Of course this method is also suited for locating cables in complex
situations.

Drum

Figure 4 : Pipeline Locating Using the Loop Method

6.1.3 Cable Locating


Connect one of the generator output sockets to one of the de-energized
conductors of the tested cable by means of a short connecting lead.
Connect the other socket to ground or the cable shield. Make sure that
at the far end the conductor connected to the generator is connected to
ground or the cable shield (see Figure 5).

Figure 5 : Cable Localization with Direct Coupling

When testing at close range, i.e. if only a short near-by section of the
cable route shall be tracked down, it is sufficient to use the easy-to-
handle method of capacitive coupling as shown in Figure 6. In this
event you need not make any connection to ground or cable shield at
the far end. The distance range covered by this method is approx. 70 %
of the entire cable length. We advise to use frequency 8440 Hz when
working with this method.

Operating Manual
FLG 200 M/-P & 50 M/-P 22
6.2 Inductive Coupling by Means of Transmitter Clamp
Coupling is implemented by connecting the transmitter clamp UZ 100
(100 mm inside diameter, max. 10 W) to the output sockets of the AF
generator by means of the supplied connecting leads. Subsequently
place the transmitter clamp around the tested cable as indicated on
Figure 7. Make sure that the contact surface of the clamp is clean.

Note !
Please don't use the clamp UZF 150 with the FLG 200 -M /-P and
FLG 50 -M /-P. The output power of these instruments are to high for
this clamp!

Figure 7 : Inductive Coupling by Means of Transmitter Clamp

You may use any frequency when working with the transmitter clamp.
The instrument is re-matched automatically each time you switch the
instrument on or change frequency.

6.3 Operational mode “Signal Select”


In the operational mode “Signal Select” the generator is coupled to the
cable galvanically (Figure 8). The clamp must be connected in such a
way the imprinted arrow indicates to the cable end.

Due to the fact that this procedure provides a display of the signal
direction, it is important to observe during the connection also the
correct polarity of the audio frequency output sockets.

The two output sockets have different coloured rings, red and black
The cable, resp. the line is connected to the output sockets.

At the receiver a (+) Symbol appears if the operator moves on the
cable, which is connected to the red output socket in direction to the far
