The Cable locator «Success CBI-116N» is the detective-diagnostic set, intended to survey a terrain before digging or excavation, locating electrical cables and electrically conductive underground utilities, determination of depth of their occurrence.
The principle of operation The principle of operation of the cable locator is based on phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. The electromagnetic «EМD-247» sensor records variable electromagnetic field which is being produced around a cable under research of it or a pipeline and converts an electromagnetic signal into a power signal. An electrical signal enters the receiver, where it is passing amplification and filtering (the selection signal of the given frequency. The location of the maximum of electromagnetic field intensity measured above the ground, corresponds to the axis of the desired communication. The operator on the signal in the head phones and the LED indicator determines the location of the alignment and possible defects of communication.
