The Pulser Ground Fault Locator identifies the exact location of even the smallest breaks in insulation by “pulsing” a high-voltage signal that radiates into the earth at the location of the faults. With the A-frame mounted receiver, a visual analog meter points the way to the source of the voltage.

The PE2003 is based on the earth gradient principle. It will find the precise location of a path to ground fault in any buried wire or cable. Broken insulation, severed cable, and other buried cable faults with ground leakage can be easily and accurately located.

• Multiple faults on a single wire can be identified indicating the need to replace instead of repair
• Extra-long test leads feature heavy-duty alligator clips for use on multiple cable types
• Includes a rechargeable transmitter, receiver, A-frame, ground stake, 120V charger, and a 12V DC (cigarette lighter) adapter
• Battery operated

The transmitter voltage is provided by a self-contained rechargeable gel-cell type battery. This voltage is applied to the output leads briefly every few seconds as indicated by the internal beeper, which also indicates the battery condition. Charging the transmitter battery is necessary and advisable for maximum battery life when the beeper tone becomes weak.

Use the AC charger to recharge from a 120 VAC outlet. Overnight charging (12 to 16 hours) is advisable. The Pulser transmitter may also be charged by using the 12-volt automotive system cigarette lighter adapter supplied.

The receiver indicates the polarity and intensity of minute currents with a center zero meter. It has an on/off sensitivity control and a battery check button to examine the condition of the replaceable 9-volt battery.

The transmitter pulses between the faulted conductor and the ground. This establishes a DC current flow down the cable, through the fault to the ground, and back through the ground to the transmitter ground stake. The current flow through the earth is measured by probing the ground along the cable path with the receiver “A” Frame. Since the current is directional, the receiver meter pulses or kicks with each transmitter pulse in the direction of the fault. The fault will be located midway between the receiver “A” Frame probes when the receiver meter indication nulls.
