How to detect wiring: basic methods
You can use the following tools to locate the wiring in the wall:
- Instruction for searching.
- A radio receiver operating at a frequency of 100 kHz.
- Special detector for searching for hidden wiring.
The following search methods can be distinguished using the instruments:
Method 1. Closet search devices
Use any device designed to detect hidden wires.
For example, the MS-58M is an excellent device that can easily find not only hidden wires, but also other metal objects. The MS-158M is an indicator with which you can find a phase wire.
Method 2. "Woodpecker" signaling in the search of
wiring The E121 "Woodpecker" can also solve the problem. It determines all kinds of clipping in live wires.
Method 3. Available variant
The budget variant is a model of the MS signaling device from the Chinese manufacturer. Has increased sensitivity to all metal elements. Note: When working with this device you need to have the skills to distinguish hidden wiring from screws.
Method 4. Non-contact detectors will find hidden wires
The most popular devices to date are the following non-contact detectors. The armature and cable will easily find a contactless device produced by Russia "Bars".Working with the device is not difficult - you just need to hold the surface of the front of its part, slightly touching it. What you need to find is the LED will turn red on the indicator. A detector 6888-138, which is used to search for a live electrical network, will also be useful. The device will detect metal structures that are not more than 3 cm deep at the depth.
Method 5. Search for deep buried electrical wiring
A device such as POSP-1 will be able to search for wires at a depth of 30 cm. It has the form of a radar hand type, equipped with an antenna with a rotary mechanism. About the find, he notifies by means of light signals and sound.
Method 6. Routes for laying old wires
The foreign VP-440 searcher will easily find breaks in cables, and also determine how the electric network path is laid. No problem for the detector - a quick find of burnt out fuses.
How to detect hidden wiring without the presence of
devices There are two detection options without the use of instruments:
- An ordinary old radio can help in searching. It is only necessary to turn it on and go along with it along the wall, as this device, through unusual crackling and amplification of sound, will report the presence of concealed wiring in the wall.
- Wall irregularities will also be an accomplice in the search for a wiring path. After exposing the wall, you can see the way of passing the hidden wires: it can be located vertically or horizontally.
