Note: You can use a 10-meter cable beforehand to test the signal and learn how the tracker
works.
3Overview
Cable Tracker is a new breakthrough anti-jamming cable detector for underground, inside-
wall or other invisible cable and pipe. The detection range can be up to 2 meters. Besides,
Cable Tracker is even capable of tracing cable in high voltage environment (0~400V). The
current or other live devices can't make influence on it for its anti-jamming function. It is a
practical tool for the engineers, mainly applied in home decoration, cabling installation and
telecommunication.
Adjust the signal
strength on both the
„Receiver“ and the
„Transmitter“ to
position 3-4.
Go 1-2 meters along
the boundary wire
away from the
transmitter to gain
distance, otherwise
the transmitter will
interfere with the
receiving signal.
Hold the receiver up in
the air. Make sure there
is NO signal or “beep”
sound coming from the
receiver. If you do have
signal, then turn down
the signal strength on
the receiver.
Aim the receiver down at
the ground where the
underground boundary
wire is located. In this
position you will see a
signal and hear a “beep”
sound coming from the
receiver. If there is no
sound, turn up the signal
strength on the receiver
until you get a signal.
Ensure that you have
found the cable break
by going back and
forth on the boundary
wire and see/hear that
the stopping is
consistent.
Go along the boundary
wire until the signal
and the sounds stop.
Then point the
receiver all the way to
the ground to insure
there is no signal.

4Introduction
Cable Trackers are mainly used to detect cable location in underground, inside-wall, ceiling
or other invisible cable. Cable Tracker is for both live cable and de-energized cable (≤400V).
4.1 Features and specifications
Detects cable location in underground or other invisible cable, the range is 0-2m.
Signal sensitivity for transmitter and receiver is adjustable (0-2m).
Trace cable without current interference.
The cable lead can clamp cable with 220V AC to avoid burning and damage of device.
Capable trace cable, such as single metal line, 2-core or multi-core cable.
Earphone helps work in noisy environment.
Cable lead and socket can be used at the same time.
Low battery indicator function.
Rechargeable lithium battery for transmitter.
4.2 Main application
Detecting cable type: power cable, coax cable, telephone cable, network cable, multi-core
metal line, etc.

5.1 Transmitter interface instruction
1. Function switch
to shift between “Scan cable” and “Polarity testing”
2. Sensitivity
adjust signal strength
3. Power button
Long press to turn on or turn off the transmitter.
4. Charging port
to charge for transmitter when connect with Micro USB cable.
5. Charging indicator
Indicator turns red, which means charging mode, indicator turns green, which means
fully charged.
6. Polarity indicator
To identify the polarity.
7. Power & Scan indicator
The power indicator will be on when power on or in scan mode.
8. Cable lead & telephone cable adaptor
To connect with the cable to be detected.
5.2 Receiver interface instruction
1. Sensitivity
Adjust signal strength and volume
2. Probe
The device will generate a beep when probe get close to targeted cable.
3. Power
Long press to turn on or turn off the receiver.
4. Earphone
It helps work in noisy environment.
5. Power indicator & Speaker
The indicator will be on when turning on the receiver. A beep will come from the
speaker when the probe get close to targeted cable
6Operating instructions
6.1 Scan mode
1. Push the toggle switch to position “ON”, the indicator “SCAN” will be on. When turning on
the emitter of cable tracker, the audio signal is on. Toggle the Audio button to switch the
signal on and off.
2. Use the black alligator clip to connect ground, the red clip connects any core of the cable.
Adjust the sensitivity to proper degree.

3. Take the amplifier probe to the other side to detect the target cable which will send out
the loudest voice, if you can't identify the target cable , you can adjust the sensitivity
constantly for the amplifier probe.
CAUTION: This device and operating method also fits telephone cable, you can connect the
cable into RJ11 port and the steps keep the same.
7Usage method for receiver
Install the 9 V battery, long press the power button to turn on the device. When the “power”
indicator is on the receiver works well. Hold the receiver to get close to cables, adjust the
sensitivity to proper degree, you will hear a beep. When the probe touches the target cable,
the tone would be loudest and clear, and more signal indicators will flash.
CAUTION: When scanning, you can adjust the sensitivity button to the best location according
to the work place you are at.

8.2 Low battery indicate
When the emitter's battery is lower than 3.5 V, the power indicator will flash, which
indicates user to charge. When lower than 3.4 V, the power indicator will flash more rapidly
and the device will switch off automatically. When the receiver's battery is lower than 6 V,
the power indicator will also flash, which indicates user to replace battery.
8.3 Charging the lithium battery
Users need to charge the battery when it is low. Charge the battery regularly if you don't
use the device for a long time. When charging the battery the CHG indicator turns red.
When fully charged, the indicator will turn green. The whole charging process needs about 8
hours.
