Wire tracer LKZ-700 is intended to locate electrical cabling embedded in

different materials (concrete, bricks, timber) in buildings. It can be also used to

detect cabling located underground. The cables can be detected regardless

whether they are live or not.

Tracer’s main features:

•Detection of cables in ceilings, walls and floors

•Detections of breaks in cabling, switches and fuses

•Locating routes of shorted circuits

•Locating faults in grounding conductors in three phase installations

•Detection of constrictions in cable ducts

•Tracing underground cables up to 2m below the surface (in the power

mode)

•Tracing conductive water and heating pipelines

•Identification of cables in an installation

1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing our wire tracer. LKZ-700 is a state of the art, high

quality device that is simple and safe to operate. Nevertheless familiarization

with this manual will help you avoid errors and possible problems that might oc-

cur while using the device.

This instruction manual uses three types of warnings. They are framed

texts describing possible threats for a user and for the equipment. Texts that

start with a word “WARNING:” describe situations that can become hazardous if

the instructions are not followed. The word “NOTE!” at the beginning of the

framed text signals a situation where non-adherence to the instruction can

damage the equipment. Other possible problems are signalled by a “Note:” flag.

WARNING:

Before using the device read carefully this manual, follow all occupa-

tional health and safety rules and manufacturer’s recommendations.

WARNING:

LKZ-700 is intended for searching and locating power lines in walls, in

the ground etc. Using the device for purposes other then described in

this manual can cause an injury to the operator and/or can damage the

device.

WARNING:

LKZ-700 may be used only by qualified personnel who are certified to

work with electrical installations. Operating the instrument by a person

who is not qualified, can result in a hazardous situation and/or can

cause damage to the device.

2 Safety

WARNING:

Using a device that has damaged housing or with leads that have dam-

aged insulation can be a source of a safety hazard.

To ensure proper use and correctness of obtained results adhere to the

following recommendations:

•Before starting to use the device, you have to become thoroughly familiar

with this manual.

•The device should be operated only by persons holding appropriate quali-

fications and who attended appropriate occupational health and safety

training.

•It is not acceptable to:

ouse the device that is damaged in any way and is partially or fully in-

operative

ouse leads with damaged insulation

ouse the meter stored in inappropriate conditions (e.g. high humidity)

for a prolonged period of time

•Before connecting to the tested network, select correct parameters for the

device.

•Repairs can be performed by authorised service agents only.

Additionally remember that

•Flashing icon in the transmitter means too low power supply voltage

and signals a need to recharge the batteries.

NOTE!

The transmitter is designed to work with a rated voltage of 230/400V.

Connecting the device to a voltage that exceeds 500VAC can damage

the instrument.

WARNING:

The instrument must not be used with installations or equipment situ-

ated in dangerous environments, e.g. where fire or explosion hazards

exists.

WARNING:

Disconnecting the protective cable can endan-

ger lives of the user as well as other persons

present during the measurements. Wherever it

is possible disconnect the mains voltage and

the phase cable(s) first. You should be particu-

larly careful when disconnecting the protective

wire or the protective wire earthing from the in-

stallation that has to be live. You have to en-

sure that there are no other persons in the

danger zone. After completing the task you

must restore the PE or N wire connection.

3 Preparing the Device for Work

Before you start locating cables:

•Ensure that the transmitter’s and receiver’s batteries are charged suffi-

ciently to carry out the measurements.

•Check if the transmitter’s housing and leads’ insulation are not damaged

WARNING:

Using leads with damaged insulation can case electrocution.

WARNING:

You must not use the device with

fully or partially open battery cover.

You must not power the device from sources other than those specified

in this instruction.

WARNING:

You must not leave one lead disconnected from the device while the

other one is connected to the tested installation.

You must not leave the device connected to the tested installation with-

out supervision.

WARNING:

Do not use a device that was stored for a prolonged period of time in

unsuitable (e.g. humid) conditions.
