3 Safety
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.

4.1.3 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.
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.

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 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.

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.
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
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
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.

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.

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.

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!
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.
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
end. The tracing Sensor FS 10 has to be held in such a way that the (+)
Symbol on the sensor point away from the transmitter toward the far
end,
If the receiver sees the return signal of induced signal the display will
indicate the (-) Symbol.
This permits the decision if the operator moves on the correct line (+)
away from the generator, or towards the generator (-). Tracing along a
line will provide a constant indication of the same polarity.
The coupling via a current clamp in the mode “Signal Select” is also
possible. The direction is indicated by the imprinted arrows. The arrows
must point toward the far end – away from the generator to provide a
correct information.
