Inductive clamp for the Leica DE100 signal transmitter

The clamp (inductive coil) is designed to couple a signal from the DE100 transmitter onto a conductor, cable or utility where a direct galvanic connection using crocodile clips is difficult or impossible. The system documentation describes its use both as a transmitter clamp (to apply a signal) and as a locator clamp (to identify a specific cable in a bundle).

Parameters

Part number (Leica): 1005583.
Cable length: 5 m.
Clamp dimensions and weight (Signal clamp specifications): A = 130.4 mm; B = 175 mm; C = 300 mm; weight: 1260 g.
Clamp operating frequency range: 256 Hz to 200 kHz.
Clamp environmental ratings: IP54; operating temperature: −20°C to +50°C; storage temperature: −40°C to +70°C.
Safety (particularly important when working on utilities):

When using the clamp on live utilities, minimise the risk of arcing or hazardous signals. Do not fit the clamp around cables with damaged or missing insulation. Before placing it around a cable, ensure that the clamp is securely connected to the port on the Leica DE100 signal transmitter.
For best results, the cable should be earthed at both ends and the clamp jaws fully closed to maximise induced current.

Brief description: The Leica inductive clamp makes it easy to apply a signal from the DE100 transmitter to a selected cable without directly connecting crocodile-clip leads. It is particularly useful in congested cable routes and where access to a connection point is difficult.

Full technical description: A signal clamp for inductively coupling a locating signal onto a cable or utility. It can be used with the DE100 transmitter to apply a signal to a cable or, when connected to the DT100 locator, to identify the correct cable in a bundle. Designed for field use (IP54).

Compatibility: Leica DT100 / DE100 system (clamp for use with the DE100 and DT100).

Package contents: Inductive clamp with a 5 m connection cable. (Other items are not applicable or are not included with this product.)

Safety / operation instructions:

• Before fitting the clamp around a cable, ensure that it is securely connected to the transmitter port.
• Do not fit clamps around cables with damaged or missing insulation.
• For best results, the conductor should be earthed at both ends and the clamp jaws fully closed.

Dimensions / mass: see the technical specifications table.

Operating / charging time: not applicable (passive accessory).
