Accessories
Accessories are identified by the transmitter
according to the internal wiring of the plug.
For this reason it is important to use only
accessories which are approved for use
with the RD5000WLT. For more information

No accessory
When no accessories are plugged in default
operation is induction mode, outputting the
transmitter signal via the internal induction coil.
Direct connect leads (output)
When this accessory is plugged into the
accessory socket, the transmitter output
switches from internal induction to direct
connect. The locate signal will appear as an
alternating voltage on the direct connect clips.
Transmitter signal clamp
When this accessory is plugged into the
accessory socket, the transmitter output
switches to signal clamp mode. The locate
signal will appear on the clamp and be
transferred by induction to the selected
target line.
Battery charger (input)
When this accessory is plugged into the
accessory socket, the transmitter will switch
off all locate signals and connect the charging
circuit to the Li-Ion battery.
Installation/Operation
The RD5000WLT transmitter is battery
powered; it does not have a protective earth
connection, and cannot be powered by an
external power supply.
The internal lithium-ion battery can be charged
using the supplied charger. The transmitter
will not transmit a locate signal while charging.
The RD5000WLT transmitter is controlled by
a single button – operation is explained in the
user guide.
When using direct connection, hazardous
voltages may be present on the croc clips of
the direct connect lead and these voltages
may appear on other accessible conductors.
Therefore it is essential to be aware of the
hazards and protect against them.
Take appropriate precautions to minimize
the risks:
• Check that the target conductor is not live
before making connections.
• Make connections first, before powering
up the transmitter.
• Protect the connections (e.g. to the earth
spike if used or other connection points)
from public access.
• Warn other workers on site that
conductors may be hazardous.
• Keep direct connect voltage as low as
possible for the survey.
• Keep the connection time as short as
possible.
Maintenance
Regularly check the condition of all
accessories and the casing of the
RD5000WLT transmitter. Pay particular
attention to the condition of the Direct
Connect accessory leads as these can
operate at voltages deemed to be hazardous
when wet. Specifically, check that insulation
is not broken and replace any worn parts.
The RD5000WLT transmitter has no user
serviceable parts other than replacement
of the fuse or provision of auxiliary D-cell
batteries.
The fuse must be replaced with an equivalent
20mm x 5mm 2A Time Delay Fuse.
The  × D-cell batteries used must all be of
the same type. Renew them all at the same
time.
If the RD5000WLT transmitter is dirty, wipe it
down with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Avoid the use of solvents or other strong
chemicals.
