FLE 10

SignalSelect

SignalSelect is a patent technique for identifying the direction of signal flow in a line. This technique clearly enhances the reliability and efficiency of route position finding.

It has its particular merits in all events where there are a number of systems on the site running closely side by side.  

The generator system FLG 10 generates an especially modulated audio frequency signal which is transmitted into the line either directly or inductively. The receiver system FLE 10 / FS 10 detects this signal over the target line and determines the direction of the signal flow.

SuperMax

The maximum technique used so far has only a very broad resolution. Therefore, it has mostly been used for tasks in the field of ground survey.

The new FERROLUX Receiver System FLE 10 / FS 10 features a new level of the maximum technique called SuperMax. Therefore the common maximum (peak) and minimum (null) methods are linked in a special manner.

This technique allows even users with little experience to obtain precise results in line locating.

DirectSignal

The analogue receiver signal is directly made audible by the internal speaker or earphones. Listening directly to the receiver signal gives the user more information, supports visual indications on the receiver and so increases the efficiency of line locating.

Separate rotary controls for signal gain and volume.
Distance-dependant right/left control.

The direction arrows on the display indicate whether the route position sensor FS10 has to be moved to the left or the right for the target line to be directly underneath the sensor. The changing length of the arrows indicates the distance to the line path.

Vertical markings on the arrow appear when the sensor FS10 has reached a 45° angle to the side of the target line.
