The Greenlee PE2003 Ground Fault Locator 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 with the PE2003 Ground Fault Locator.

Transmitter
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.

Receiver
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.

Theory
The transmitter pulses between the faulted conductor and ground. This establishes a DC current flow down the cable, through the fault to 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.

1. 10,000 ohms and less–both ends isolated from grounds.
2. Does not locate the path–has to be predetermined and only in direct burial applications; 5,000,000 and less.
3. Transmitter connected to metallic shield.
4. Will trace coax providing the bond is in place at the remote end–will disrupt service.
5. No sorting (high RF bleeds) can trace coax if transmitter connected to braid.
6. Low frequency locators need a “path to earth” (dirt), 5000 ft. on an open conductor and 2500 ft. on a metallic pipe at 3 ft. deep.
7. Direct Connection 4,000 ft at 7 ft deep
   Inductive Coupler 1,000 ft at 3 ft deep
   Inductive Antenna 700 ft at 3 ft deep
