9、als are present. Notify Megger of any shortage. Telephone (610) 676-8500. Examine the instrument for damage received in transit. If any damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrier at once and notify Megger giving a detailed description of the damage. This instrument has been thoroughly teste
10、d and inspected to meet rigid specifications before being shipped. It is ready for use after it is unpacked and the headphones are assembled. The complete instrument consists of the following items: ? Cable Route Tracer with battery. ? The headphones consisting of two earpieces with connection cord
11、and headholder. General Information The Cable Route Tracer is an electronic instrument designed for locating tracing, and measuring the depth to ac energized underground power cables from the surface. The instrument can also be used to locate underground transformers, T- splices, Y-splices, and grou
12、nd faults on unshielded cable. It is supplied as: Catalog No. 656601 Cable Route Tracer with switchable 60 Hz filter. The unit senses the magnitude and direction of the effective electromagnetic field generated by conductors carrying dc impulses or ac loads up to 1000 Hz. Therefore, these instrument
13、s operate on loaded 50 Hz and 60 Hz single-phase power cables. Three-phase ac power cables, dc power cables, cables surrounded by other 50 Hz or 60 Hz energized cables, and faulted cables can be traced by applying a distinctive audio frequency tone of 1000 Hz or less from a tone generator.

15、ersons making or assisting in tests must use all practical safety precautions to prevent contact with energized conductors, terminals, or other equipment. The Cable Route Tracer and recommended operating procedures have been designed with careful attention to safety. Megger has made formal safety re
16、views of the initial design and any subsequent changes. This procedure is followed for all new Megger products and covers areas in addition to those included in applicable ANSI standards. Regardless of these efforts, it is not possible to eliminate all hazards from electrical test equipment or to fo
17、resee every possible hazard which may occur. It is therefore essential that the user, in addition to following the safety rules in this manual, also carefully consider all safety aspects of the test before proceeding. Safety is the responsibility of the user. M 4 AVTM656600-01J Rev A August 2004 M 5

25、onnected through an extension arm to a swivel-mounted detection rod as shown in Figure 1. By turning the swivel, the detection rod can be set into detecting positions either parallel to the telescoping arm, perpendicular to it, or inclined at 45 degrees to it, (see Figures 3, 6, and 9). The control
26、box contains-and shields the electronic circuitry; on its face are mounted a gain control, a selector switch, a phone jack, and a meter as shown in Figure 2. The pistol-grip handle not only serves as a means of grasping the instrument but also houses its 9 volt battery in an easily removable clip, s

No. 656601 M 8 AVTM656600-01J Rev A August 2004 Figure 2: Line Drawing of the Control Panel. Electrically, the detection rod is inductively influenced by the electromagnet
28、ic field associated with the current which is flowing through a cable. The signal thus received by the detection rod is amplified by the circuitry in the control box. With the gain control and the selector switch, the operator can vary the amount of amplification over a wide range, can adjust the de
29、gree of meter sensitivity, and can also test the state of the battery at any time. The amplified signal is heard at the headphones and is indicated visually by the meter. DESCRIPTION 9 AVTM656600-01J Rev A August 2004 Function of the Controls: Gain Control: The gain control shown in Figure 2 on page
30、 8 is a multi-turn potentiometer which provides a smooth and continuously variable adjustment of the amplifier gain. Selector Switch: The selector switch at the right of the panel as shown in Figure 2 has six positions 1. In the Off position, the battery is disconnected and the entire circuit is tur
31、ned off. 2. In the Batt Test position, the meter needle will indicate the condition of the battery; if the meter needle deflects into the green area at the right of the scale, the battery is good. If the meter needle falls to the left of the green area, the battery should be replaced. 3. The other f
32、our positions of the selector switch adjust the sensitivity of the meter response. The second position provides the lowest level of meter sensitivity, the fifth position provides the highest level of meter sensitivity, and the third and fourth positions provide intermediate levels. Because experienc
33、e proves that the lower levels of meter sensitivity are more useful for operating in the maximizing technique (explained below) while the higher levels of meter sensitivity are more useful for operation in the minimizing technique, the second and third positions of this switch have been labeled peak
34、 and the fourth and fifth positions have been labeled null. M 10 AVTM656600-01J Rev A August 2004 Principles of Operation: In searching for buried cables, the Cable Route Tracer is always carried and operated vertically: the operator grasps the instrument by the pistol-grip handle and holds it so th
35、at the detection rod is close to the earth. The signal sensed by the detection rod is amplified by the circuitry in the control box. By adjusting the gain control, the operator can regulate the amplification of the signal. He should always adjust the gain to produce a response level at meter and hea
36、dphones that is strong enough to be observed but not so strong as to saturate the circuit thereby rendering imperceptible the variations that may occur in the sensed signal. What the detection rod senses is the electromagnetic field propagated from the energized cable. The strength of the signal sen
37、sed at the detection rod, therefore, depends primarily on three factors: 1. on the amount of current flowing through the cable, 2. on the distance between the detection rod and the cable, and 3. on the position in which the detection rod is oriented with respect to the cable. a. The greater the current through the cable, the stronger will be the signal sensed by the detection rod. However, if the amount
