3M Dynatel 573 Sheath Fault Cable Locator My technician was unable to power this unit up and no further testing could be completed. He suggested that the battery may be bad, but he just was uncertain. Direct Connect Transmitter Cable (The following is for reference only): The Dynatel 573A Earth Return Fault and Cable Locator is a portable, battery-powered test set. It detects and pinpoints sheath and conductor faults, and locates the path of buried or underground (UG) cables. The test set indicates the presence of dangerous voltage on a test section, and detects RF (radio frequency) and audio frequencies applied to a conductor by the transmitter. The receiver alone detects 60 Hz AC current, and the receiver and earth frame together detect sections of substantial AC power influence. Other applications include locating butt-splices, slack-loops, unknown laterals, cut service drops, and encapsulated closers. The locator accurately indicates the depth of buried or UG cables, and it finds clear or severed cable ends. It provides a high-frequency (RF) tone for positive conductor or cable identification, and an audio frequency tone for coiling solid resistive faults.
