DETECTION OF FAULTS IN AN IN FLOOR HEATING SYSTEM

Preconditions:
The circuit measured must not be live.
•
All unused lines must be earthed as shown in Fig. 13a.
•
Connect the two transmitters (if two transmitters are used) as shown in
•
Fig. 13b.
The measurement method is identical to that used in §3.1 Getting started
•
Fig.13a
If there is a screen above the heating wires, there may not be an earth
•
connection. If necessary, separate the shielding from the earth connection.
There must be earthing, and there must be a long distance between the
•
earthing terminal of the transmitter and the line to be located. If this distance
is too short, the signal and the line cannot be located precisely.
A second transmitter is not essential for this application.
•
For an application with only one transmitter, refer to Fig. 13a.
When the line is traced, the place at which the signal received by the receiver
•
falls off suddenly is the location of the break.
Refine the detection by setting the power level transmitted by the
transmitter and the sensitivity of the receiver in manual mode.
