Accessories for locating transmitters

With the right transmitter accessories, you can expand your cable locating equipment in a targeted way and work more flexibly in the field. Our range includes components with defined specifications – such as conductor cross-sections, lengths and clamp openings – that can be precisely matched to your requirements on site.

Our range of transmitter accessories

Direct connection leads: with tap/crocodile clips, insulated tips, and fixed conductor cross-sections and cable lengths
Induction clamps: with a defined nominal opening diameter, permissible current/voltage range and specified cable length
Earthing: earth stakes and earthing leads with defined lengths and connection types
Adapters & extensions: device-series-specific connectors and extension leads

The right signal application for every task

Depending on the application, various coupling methods are available. With direct connection, you transmit the transmitter signal directly to the line to be located via connection leads. Inductive signal coupling via an induction clamp is ideal when direct contact is not possible or not desired. Reliable earthing ensures stable signal conditions.

This way, with the appropriate accessories, you ensure clean signal transmission from your transmitter – the basis for precise and traceable locating results.

Why accessories for transmitters?

The quality of the signal application has a decisive influence on the range, selectivity and depth accuracy of your locating. High-quality connection leads, clamps and induction aids ensure a defined signal feed – even in environments with high levels of interference, where weak or ambiguous signals make route tracing difficult.

Typical components for transmitter signal application

Direct connection: connection and earth leads, crocodile clips, earth stakes
Contactless: signal clamps in various diameters
Induction: induction plate, induction coil
Adapters & interface: connector and threaded adapters, extensions, splitters
Power & protection: batteries, battery packs, chargers, carrying cases, protective covers

Selection guide: finding the right accessories

Application profile: route tracing, service connection, cable identification, earth and sheath faults
Frequency & power: select accessories suitable for 512/640 Hz, 8–9 kHz or 33 kHz
Compatibility: check connector type, clamping range, cable length and device specification
Robustness: consider IP rating, kink protection and strain-relieved leads for outdoor use

Practical tips for everyday use

Ensure a return current path: good earthing reduces crosstalk to neighbouring lines
For multiple routes, vary the frequency and mode and compare the results
Keep contacts clean and replace damaged leads promptly

Frequently asked questions about transmitter accessories

What do I use a signal clamp for?

For contactless signal application or identification of individual conductors without having to disconnect the circuit.

When is the induction plate useful?

When direct connection is not possible – the plate couples the signal in without contact.

What cable length is ideal?

As short as possible for low losses – with sufficient reserve for set-up at the site.

What power supply is recommended?

Battery packs and chargers are suitable for long operations; for occasional use, high-quality primary cells are a good option.
