CRT 8
The system consists of a Audio Frequency Generator AFG 8,
TAudio Frequency Receiver AFR 4, Universal Search Coil SC 4 ,
Transmitter Coil TC 8 , Cable Identification Probe CIP 3 and
Headphones AH.
The Generator injects an A.F. signal into the cable which generates
an electromagnetic field around it. This field is concentric to the
cable & is present over the entire length. The presence of this field (in
turn the cable) is detected by a highly selective and sensitive
receiver with a search coil.
Availability of three frequencies 480Hz, 1450Hz and 9820Hz
enables to use correct frequency depending on cable length, depth
and external interference. Use of 9820Hz on inductive coupling
permits operation on a working cable as the frequency does not
interfere with normal operations. Using the maximum or minimum of
the injected signal, routes can be traced for cables up to a depth of 5
meter. Bends, loops and tee branches also can be identified. Route
of cable running in a bunch of cables and then branching off can be
determined. Typical cable route tracing

Depth determination
Depth of the cable under test can be determined by triangulation
method. This helps to avoid damage to the cable at the time of
excavation
Cable identification
The signal is injected in to a pair shorted at the other end. This helps
in Minimum induction of the signal on the neighboring cables. Cable Induced signal using transmitter coil
identification probe registers a signal only on the wanted cable.
