Fluke 2042 Cable Locator
Introduction:
The FLUKE Cable Locator consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The signal generated by the
transmitter is made of a modulated current, generating an electro-magnetic field around a con-
ductor.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 finally displayed on the
screen.The connecting parameter for the transmitter during an application must be a closed current
circuit.
The FLUKE Cable Locator is characterized by the following features:
- Finding conductors in walls, conductor interruptions, short-circuits in conductors
- Conductor tracing in the soil
- Detecting fuses and assigning current circuits
- Tracing sockets and distribution sockets having accidentally been covered by plastering
- Detecting interruptions and short-circuits in floor heating
- Tracing metallic water and heating piping
- All application areas (both, voltage-free and live) are performed without using any additional in-
struments
- Transmitter display indicates the transmission level, the transmission code, as well as the foreign
voltage
- Receiver display indicates the reception level, the transmission code, as well as the mains volta-
ge detection
- Automatic and manual sensitivity adjustment
- Acoustic reception signal may be switched off
- Auto-Power-Off function
- Backlight
- Additional lighting function when working under bad lighting conditions
- Additional transmitters are available to extend or distinguish several signals
