Discuss New toy, Martindale CD1000 Cable Tracer in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
Would be a good idea if sshokooh could explain how he has been using it and for UKsparks to explain what he is doing wrong.
I'd been thinking of buying one so a video would be much appreciated if you get the timeSounds fair to me, I know how to use it with pretty good accuracy and its never been a hassle using it etc, in fact I used it just the other week when trying to find where a bit of SWA went under an extension through the slab!!! then up into a plug socket.
it took me straight to it, quite straight forward, simply earth the cores you don't want to trace and connect the pulse if thats what you want to call it to the core you are tracing and then turn it on, i put it on max output, then on the receiver i put it on max at first to find it from a distance, then turn it down and down until i can have the cable within 6 - 8 inches of the end, i actually followed it all the way up the garden in to the house and under the floor.
I feel I need to video something to demonstrate it, I never got round to it before, but might do it now.
Appreciate the feedback sshokooh although my post was not a reply to your last post - it was aimed at the thread in general.
Suggest you call Martindale on 01923 441 717 and try and resolve your issue between them and the distributor you purchased it from.
Actually I purchased from yourselves. With regards to calling Martindale, I can not imagine it would prove to be anything but a waste of time.
