Charging the rechargeable batteries
If the three LEDs are flashing, when the device is switched on, then the rechargeable
batteries should be charged. Plug the charger into the charging socket. Depending on
the state of charge of the rechargeable batteries charging may take up to several
hours.
The pipe locating system must be installed to establish an electrical circuit. For
example one transmitter clamp to the corner valve of the toilet tank, the other one to
the bathtub faucet. The signal travels from one clamp to the other via the piping
material. Only this pipe radiates the signal. Several measurements are required in
order to detect all pipes in the house (bathroom).
Water and heating pipes must be connected to the house grounding. The grounding
contact of the Schuko socket (safety outlet) has the same potential.
Apply the signal to the pipe in the upper floor and close the circuit by plugging the
adapter plug into the Schuko socket. The signal travels through the pipes to the
equalizing bar in the basement and returns to the transmitter via the yellow/green wire
(grounding contact). Using this method ascending pipes can be detected in the indoor
installation.
Only use the adapter plug, the phase (live) and neutral conductors of the socket
may not be used to return the signal.
Often pipes and electrical lines are routed in the same ascending conduct. In order to
avoid mix-ups, a cable extension can be used for the return. The pipe, to which the
signal is applied, is detected using the "minimum procedure". On the left and right of
the pipe the signal is very loud (sound maximum). Directly above the pipe a sound
minimum can be measured.
If the antenna is rotated by 45 degrees at the pipe center (sound minimum), a sound
maximum is generated. In other words, a soft signal is turned into a loud signal.
Depth measurement via a
rotation by 45 degrees

Now the antenna is pulled
sideways away until a
new sound minimum is
generated. The difference
between these two points
is the depth of the pipe.
Using this method depth
and location of
underneath floors
behind walls can be easily
detected.
