FAQ

Question 1: Weak tracking signal, hard to trace cable route
Customer: When I use this cable route tracer on site, the transmitted signal is very weak, and the receiver can hardly pick up the signal, so I cannot find the cable path normally. What should I check?
Manufacturer: First check whether the output clips are firmly clamped on the cable conductor, confirm the grounding wire is connected to a reliable earth point instead of floating ground. Check if the cable is wrapped with metal shielding layer which will shield the signal. Adjust the output frequency and output level knob to higher gear. Keep the test leads away from other high-voltage cables to avoid signal interference. If the signal is still too weak, check the internal battery power or AC power supply voltage. Do not disassemble the instrument by yourself.
Question 2: Signal jumps randomly and cannot get stable tracing result
Customer: The signal value displayed on the receiver keeps fluctuating violently when tracing the cable, I cannot judge the accurate cable position. What leads to this issue?
Manufacturer: This problem is mostly caused by signal interference from adjacent metal pipelines, parallel cables or power frequency live lines. Confirm the target cable is isolated from other cables and the cable insulation is intact. Try to switch to another working frequency of the transmitter. Keep the test lead away from other live loops. Check whether the grounding point is too close to the target cable, which will cause signal shunting. After adjusting, test again. If the fault remains, contact technical support.
Question 3: No signal output after power on
Customer: I turn on the power switch of the cable route tracer, the indicator light is on, but there is no signal output from the output terminals, the receiver cannot receive any signal. How to troubleshoot?
Manufacturer: First verify the power supply, check whether the AC power socket has normal power or the built-in battery has enough power. Check if the output terminal clips are damaged or the internal wiring is open circuit. Check whether the output protection circuit is triggered by short circuit. Turn off the power, remove all test connections, restart the instrument and test on an isolated cable. Never open the instrument shell for maintenance. Contact technical support if no signal recovers.
Question 4: Cannot distinguish multiple parallel cables
Customer: There are several parallel buried cables in the same trench. After connecting the transmitter, the receiver can detect signals on many cables, I cannot tell which one is my target cable. How to solve this?
Manufacturer: This is a common situation for multi-cable trench. You can disconnect the other end of the target cable and make it single-end grounded, while other cables keep both ends floating. Adjust the transmitter output frequency to reduce cross-coupling signal. Use the clamping induction method instead of direct connection output mode. Mark each cable one by one with different signal frequencies. Do not connect the transmitter to multiple cables at the same time, otherwise signal coupling will be serious.
Question 5: Instrument shows abnormal reading after long time outdoor working
Customer: The cable route tracer works well at the beginning, but after working for several hours under outdoor high temperature, the reading on the panel becomes unstable and the tracing function fails. What is the reason?
Manufacturer: Long time high temperature exposure will cause the internal electronic components to heat up and drift. Stop the test and turn off the instrument, move it to cool in a ventilated cool place for 30 minutes before reuse. Check whether the ventilation holes of the instrument are blocked by dust or mud. Avoid direct strong sunlight for continuous operation. If the reading is still abnormal after cooling, there may be damage to internal components, stop use and contact technical support, do not repair it privately.

Question 6: Shipping Method
Customer: If we place an order, how do you typically ship the goods? Will there be any issues with transporting bulky items such as reactors?
Manufacturer: We default to using dedicated logistics lines or brand-specific express shipping services; small-sized main units and accessories may also be shipped via standard courier services. Large items, such as reactors and excitation transformers, are packed using wooden crates or wooden frames for reinforcement to prevent bumps and moisture exposure during transit; a packing list is included with each package to facilitate item-by-item counting for you. Logistics costs are typically determined by both parties in accordance with the contract terms; after shipment, we will send you both the tracking number and the carrier's contact phone number for easy tracking.If your project site is remote or if delivery to the site is required with a specified logistics company, please inform us in advance when placing your order; we can then coordinate and arrange accordingly.
Question 7: Delivery Lead Time
Customer: Our project is under tight deadlines; how long will it take for the order to be shipped after we place it? Can we request expedited shipping?
Manufacturer: Standard specifications – stock available; typically delivered upon receipt of the order. Orders can be shipped within [X] working days; for non-standard products requiring customized voltage levels, capacities, or reactor combination configurations, the production cycle typically ranges from [X] to [Y] days.The delivery time will be approximately 7-15 working days; the specific timeline shall be subject to the sales confirmation provided upon order placement. If your project has a tight schedule, please inform us of the latest expected delivery date before placing your order; we will first verify the production schedule and inventory status, and where possible, will coordinate expedited production and prioritize shipment. However, it is recommended to allocate sufficient transit time for logistics to avoid delaying on-site testing.
Question 8: After-sales Service and Warranty
Customer: What is the warranty period for this equipment? If any issues arise during on-site use, how will your after-sales service respond?
Manufacturer: We provide a two-year free warranty on the entire unit and lifelong technical support services. During the warranty period, if issues arise due to defects in the equipment itself, we will provide free repair or replacement of components; when problems occur on-site, we commit to responding within 24 hours; most wiring and parameter configuration issues can be resolved through remote guidance via video or telephone; for cases where an on-site visit is necessary, we will arrange for our technicians to arrive at the location to resolve the issue. After the warranty period expires, we still offer repair services, with spare parts supplied at cost price for the long term, and software updates provided free of charge for life. Upon delivery of the equipment, we also offer free operational training (video operation guides)to ensure that your testing personnel can operate the equipment independently and proficiently; should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our dedicated after-sales hotline directly.
Question 9: Shipping methods for each region (Sea freight)
Customer: Our projects are distributed across several states, and our procurement volumes are substantial; are the shipping methods consistent across all states? How is the delivery time calculated?
Manufacturer: The specifications are identical; however, it should be specifically noted that this equipment set is large in size and heavy in weight—components such as the reactor and excitation transformer are all classified as heavy components. Therefore, regardless of which state or region the shipment is destined for, we will uniformly utilize sea freight transportation. The packaging employs export-grade wooden crates with reinforced structures, along with moisture-proof and rust-proof treatments; the design of these wooden crates is optimized for long-distance sea transport and multiple lifting and transshipment operations. Upon arrival at the destination, simply unpack the goods and conduct an inspection before putting them into use. Regarding delivery time, the sea freight transit period depends on the port of destination: near-sea routes are generally faster, whereas ocean routes may take longer; the exact number of days will be confirmed based on the shipping schedule specified in the bill of lading. We have a dedicated freight forwarding agency to handle booking of shipping space, customs declaration, insurance, and other related procedures; once the vessel departs, we will send you documents such as the bill of lading and the packing list, enabling you to arrange for the receipt of goods at the port of destination and their inland transshipment in advance.
