Introduction

1. Introduction

1.1 Product description

The Megger MCT105 Cable Tracer and Fault Locator kit consists of a transmitter, receiver and ancillary leads.
It is designed to trace and aid fault location in cables, circuits or metallic conductors, such as pipes.

The signal produced by the transmitter is a modulated current, generating an electro-magnetic field around
the conductor. This field induces a voltage within the receiving coil. The induced voltage is measured,
amplified, decoded and converted to the original signal by the receiver, with the result finally displayed on
the screen as a simple signal strength.

Operating Principle

5. Operating Principle

The Cable Locator consists of a transmitter and a receiver. It is a portable instrument that can be used to
detect or trace conductors.

The signal generated by the transmitter is made of a modulated current, generating an electro-magnetic field
around a conductor. See figure 1. This electro-magnetic field induces a voltage within the receiving coil. The
induced voltage is amplified, decoded and converted to the original signal by the receiver and displayed on
the screen. The process operates on the principle of a closed current circuit.

Figure 1:

5.1 Location in complete circuits

5.1.1 Single pole method

Connect the transmitter to only one conductor. In this operational mode, the transmitter signal is generated
by the internal battery. Due to the high-frequency signal generated by the transmitter, only one single
conductor can be located and traced. The second conductor is the earth. This arrangement causes a high
frequency current to flow through the conductor and to be transmitted to earth, similar to a radio and
receiver.

5.1.2 Double pole “live” method:

Connect the transmitter to the line and neutral conductors using both leads, ensuring correct polarity. The
transmitter power is drawn from the connected voltage supply. Using this method, the modulated current
flows through the phase into the transformer and back through neutral.

5.1.3 Double pole “dead” connection

A further option for testing “dead” or isolated systems is to terminate the transmitter to two line or neutral
cables and connect these together at the far end to make a complete circuit. In this mode, the transmitted
signal is generated by the internal battery. Then, the transmitter is supplied by the built-in battery.

NOTE : The Cable Locator can only detect or locate cables, which are connected correctly.

5.2 Single pole method (In open circuits)

5.2.1 Cable interruptions in walls and floors.

Finding and tracing cables, sockets, junction box, switches, pipes etc.

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

Operating Principle

The black “common” terminal of the transmitter must be connected to a suitable earth (Figure 2). Tracing
is possible up to a depth of 20 cm using this method, depending on the material through which the
transmitted signal and the receiver must travel.

5.3 Double pole method (In complete circuits)

Detecting short-circuits or identifying individual conductors, switches or sockets on circuits with or without
voltage. Both transmitter connections are required (Figure 2 and 3).

Tracing is possible up to a depth of 50 cm using this method, depending on the material through which the
transmitted signal and the receiver must travel.

Figure 2:

NOTE : Maximum tracing depth 50 cm

WARNING : Care must be taken when making any connection to live or potentially live circuits.
Correct safety procedures must be followed.

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Figure 3:

Operating Principle

5.4 Locating and tracing of cables, circuit branches, sockets, switches and junctions in
house installations circuits (single-pole method)

When tracing cables or locating switches, sockets, junction boxes etc. the circuit must be isolated (dead). The
circuit must be wired correctly and operational before isolation. Connect the transmitter “red” terminal to
the line and neutral conductor simultaneously and the “black” terminal to earth (Figure 4). Route tracing and
accessory location is now possible.

Figure 4:

NOTE : If the supply cable fed with the signal via the transmitter is running in parallel to other

conductors (e.g. a cable duct), or if any conductors are crossed, the signal may be induced into
these conductors. If this occurs, the fuse for any supplementary conducts should be removed to
avoid mis-identification.

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Maximum tracing depth 2.0 m

5.5 Locating of cable interruptions in the plastic-sheathed cable (single-pole method)

When locating of line interruptions, the circuit must be dead; All lines which are not required must be
connected to the auxiliary ground as shown in figure 8. When pin-pointing cable interruptions, the circuit
must be isolated (dead). All cables that are not required should be connected to earth, as shown in Figure 5.
Connect the “red” transmitter to the cable to be traced and the “black” lead to one of the cables connected
to ground. Route and accessory tracing using the receiver is now possible.

NOTE : All remaining conductors in a plastic sheathed cable must be earthed. This is to avoid
inducing the signal into the surrounding conductors.

The tracing depth of sheathed cables and conductors is different due to the individual cores being twisted
around each other. To pin-point an interruption, a resistance greater that 100 KΩ must be present.
Verification of the resistance can be made using a simple multimeter.

Operating Principle

Figure 5:

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Maximum tracing depth 2.0 m.

5.6 Locating of line interruptions using two transmitters (single-pole method)

When locating a interruption using a single transmitter from one end of the conductor, precise location
may not be possible in the event of field disturbance on a cable. This can be overcome by using a second
transmitter (available separately) connected to the other end of the cable. In this senario, each transmitter is
set to a different transmission code (e.g. Code 1 and Code 2).

If the two transmitters are connected as shown in Figure 6, the receiver will indicate “1” to the left of the
interruptions; and “2” on the right. As the receiver reaches the interruption, no line code will be displayed
due to the overlapping of the two transmitter signals.

5.6.1 Requirements:

 The circuit under test must be isolated (dead).

 All cables not being used must be connected to earth, as shown.

 Both transmitters must be connected exactly as shown.

 The interruption is shown at the point the receiver has no transmitter code visible.

The earthed connections must be connected to a known earth, either on an existing circuit or any earthed
metalwork such as a water pipe.

Make sure during interruption locating in multi-wire shielded conductors and cables, that all remaining
cables are connected to earth. This is required to avoid inductive disturbance. (Figure 6)

Operating Principle

Figure 6:

The tracing depth of sheathed cables and conductors is different due to the individual cores being twisted
around each other. To pin-point an interruption, a resistance greater that 100 kΩ must be present.
Verification of the resistance can be made using a simple multimeter.

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Maximum tracing depth 2.0 m.

5.7 Error detection in electrical under-floor heating (single-pole method)

The connection conditions:

 If a shield mat or shield wiring is located above the heating cables, no earth connection may exist. If

required, separate the shield from the earth connection.

 Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

 A second transmitter is required for this application. (Figure 7)

 Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Maximum tracing depth 2.0 m.

Figure 7:

5.8 Locating of bottlenecks (obstructions) in installation pipes (single-pole method)

When locating of bottlenecks in installation pipes, All circuits in the pipe must be dead, isolated and earthed.
Connect transmitter to the metal coil and auxiliary earth as shown in figure 8.

Operating Principle

Figure 8:

NOTE : If you only have a non-conducting coil it is recommended you slide a cable up to the

obstruction in the pipework.

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Maximum tracing depth 2.0 m.

5.9 Fuse Location (double-pole method)

WARNING : Care must be taken when making any connection to live or potentially live circuits.
Correct safety procedures must be followed.

Connect the “red” transmitter terminal to the line conductor and the “black” terminal to the neutral
conductor of the circuit. Ensure the transmitter is set on level one (single bar).

Precise fuse location within the distribution board will depend upon the condition and routing of the wiring.
By setting the transmitter at level one (single bar-graph) the possibility of induced signals in other circuits is
reduced. If safe to do so, the board cover can be removed to allow exact cable identification made at the
fuse termination (figure 9).

Figure 9:

NOTE : Set transmitter to LEVEL I

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

Operating Principle

Manufacturers of safety cut-outs and breakers have different installation positions of the magnetic sensing
coil. If no clear signal can be pin-pointed, it is recommended that the receiver head is rotated by 90° either
left or right.

5.10 Locating of short-circuits in conductors (double-pole method)

When locating short-circuits in conductors, any existing circuits within the cable must be voltage-free.
Connect the transmitter as shown in Figure 10; and carry out this example as described in the application
example.

NOTE : The tracing depth for sheathed cable and conductors are different due to the fact that the
individual leads in the sheathed cable are twisted around themselves. Usually, short-circuits can
only be correctly detected when the short-circuit resistance is lower than 20 Ohm. The verification
of the short-circuit resistance can be carried out with any multimeter.

Figure 10:

Should the short-circuit resistance amount to more than 20 Ohm, it may still be possible to detect it using
the line interruption method. Different transmitter signals may also provide an accurate location.

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Maximum tracing depth 0.5 m

5.11 Tracing installed water and heating pipes (single-pole method)

NOTE : The tracing conditions: The pipe to be located must be separated from the equipotential

bonding.

WARNING : For safety reasons the circuit must be switched off and isolated as per local
regulations.

Connect the transmitter “red” terminal to the pipe or conductor to be traced. The “black” terminal must be
connected to the Main Earth terminal. (Figure 11)

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Maximum tracing depth 2.0 m.

5.12 Detecting the direction of water and heating pipes already installed (Single-pole
method)

When detecting the direction of water and heating pipes already installed, the respective water and heating
pipes must be suitably earthed connect the transmitter, as shown in figure 12.

Figure 12:

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Maximum tracing depth 2.5 m.

5.13 Locating a complete house wiring (Single-pole method)

This method allows all circuits within an installation to be traced:

1. Turn off and isolate the supply in accordance with local regulations.

2. If applicable, remove the PE - N bridge within the distribution board.

3. Connect the transmitter “red” terminal to the Neutral bar and the “black” terminal to the Main
Earthing Terminal (figure 13). This will allow the neutral conductor of all circuits to be traced.

WARNING : For safety reasons the circuit must be switched off and isolated as per local
regulations.

Operating Principle

Figure 13:

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Setup: manual mode, minimal sensitivity. Maximum tracing depth 2.0 m

5.14 Following lines with higher location depth (Double-pole method)

If the double-pole method is used on multi-core cables, the location depth is limited. This is because the
signal injection and return lines are installed close together, causing a distortion of the magnetic field. To
overcome this limitation, a second, separate conductor may be used as the return line. Any conductor
outside the multi-core cable, or a separate cable reel can be used.

When tracing the conductors, special care must be taken to ensure the distance between injection and
return line is larger than the location depth. In practical applications, this amounts to approx. 2.0 m.

 The circuit under test must not be live

 Connect the transmitter as shown in figure 14.

 The distance between injection and return line must be 2.0 m or more.

Operating Principle

5.15 Tracing conductors within the soil (single-pole method)

The transmitter should be connected as shown in Figure 15.

WARNING : Ensure the circuit is switched off and isolated (dead).

Ensure the distance between the connection to the conductor and earth is greater than 2.0 m. If the distance
is too small it becomes impossible to accurately identify and trace the injected signal.

The maximum tracing depth is 2.0 m. This is reduced depending upon the characteristics of the soil the cable
or conductor is buried in.

 Set the receiver to automatic mode.

 Trace the conductor using the signal intensity display. Circle the receiver slowly across the conductor

and watch for the display values to change. When the display shows the maximum signal intensity the
receiver is directly over the conductor.

Figure 15:

The signal intensity level will decrease as the distance from the transmitter increases.

5.16 The detection range can be increased by connecting to Live conductors

If the transmitter is attached to the line and neutral, the signal will be reduced as the feed and return cables
running side by side cancel each other out (as shown in figure 16).

If the cores are twisted, this can lead to a further reduction in the transmitted signal.

Operating Principle

Figure 16:

In order to prevent these effects the connection should be carried out as shown in figure 17. The return path
is supplied by a separate cable. The distance in voltage circuits will be up to 2.5 meters.

Make sure there is sufficient distance between the cable under test and the external lead to prevent
interference between the two.

WARNING : Care must be taken when making any connection to live or potentially live circuits.
Correct safety procedures must be followed.

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

Figure 17:

5.17 Identifying multiple installed conductors (double-pole method)

When identifying multiple installed conductors, each conductor must be isolated and not carrying any
voltage. One end of the lead will require shorting together (as shown in Figure 18) If multiple transmitters
are available, each transmitter should be set to a unique signal (1 - 7). Connect the transmitters as shown in
figure 18.

Operating Principle

Figure 18:

NOTE : The stripped lead terminals must be twisted together to ensure a good electrical

connection, as shown in Figure 18.

If only one transmitter be available, each pair should be identified individually, one at a time.

NOTE : Switching sensitivity between Level 1 and Level 3 increases the sensitivity by a factor of 5.

5.18 Non-contact voltage detection

 No transmitter is required for this application. (Figure 19)

 Select non-contact voltage mode by pressing the NVC button on the receiver, NCV should appear on

the display.

Figure 19:

The display bargraph indicates the signal intensity of a detected voltage. An audible tone is produced that
changes in pitch as the proximity to the voltage is reduced.

WARNING : Although different signal intensities may indicate the presence and level of voltage, a
dedicated voltage measurement instrument MUST be used to prove voltage value if required.

general waste when they reach the end of their usable life.

For disposal of batteries in other parts of the EU contact your local Megger branch or distributor.
