  • Page 1 Where applicable other safety measures such as use of protective gloves, goggles etc. should be employed. Please keep these instructions for future reference. Updated instructions and product information are available at: www.martindale-electric.co.uk REMEMBER: SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT MEANING OF SYMBOLS:...
  • Page 2: Product Specific Safety Information

    Warning Many of the applications of the CD1000 require that the circuits being tested are dead. Take all necessary safety precautions when proving a circuit is not hazardous live.
  • Page 3: Operation

    3.3 Self-Test Function The transmitter has a self-test function. A self- 3.1 General test failure will be displayed on the LCD. There are two basic methods for using the CD1000: 3.4 Description of Transmitter One-pole application LCD. The transmitter is connected to one conductor and a suitable earth. Due to the high POWER on/off key.
  • Page 4: Start/Stop Key

    3.19 Testing Considerations Figure 1 The following considerations should be observed when using the CD1000: To avoid tripping an RCD that may be in a circuit being tested when the ‹ transmitter is used in a dual-pole live mains application, connect the transmitter socket to the neutral conductor rather than the earth conductor.
  • Page 5: E) Detecting A Restriction Or Blockage In A Non-Metallic Pipe

    Figure 3 Figure 4a Figure 4b Note 1: The resistance of the interruption/break must be greater than 100 k:. Note 2: The remaining wires in a multi-core cable should be earthed to avoid cross- coupling of the fed signals by a capacitive effect to the source terminals. Note 3: The transmitter earth connection can be an auxiliary earth, earth from an earthed socket or a water pipe which is properly earthed.
  • Page 6: H) Tracking An Underground Circuit

    Operate the transmitter and receiver as described in section 3.20 a). Note 1: This application can also be applied to dead circuits. Note 2: Connections to wall sockets can be made easily with a Martindale SB13 Safebreak Socket Test Adaptor (Order code MARSB13).
  • Page 7: Maintenance

    Move the receiver over the body of the transmitter toward the test lead. If the received signal level decreases at the test lead then the internal fuse has blown. The internal fuse is not user replaceable and the CD1000 should be returned to Martindale Electric.
