The loading effect can also be used when trying to locate an
open fault in a wire in a multiwire cable. By leaving the loads
on the unfaulted wires, the tracer tone will be reduced in
level on the unfaulted wires, and make locating the open
easier. In fact, if the other wires are unconnected, it helps to
temporarily connect them to earth ground, so that they sup-
press the effect of the coupled signals. It may also help to
connect the far end of the open faulted wire to earth ground.
Doing this will produce the most distinct change in tracer
tone level when the HOUND 3 passes over the location of
the open.
8: Maintenance
The HOUND 3 should require little maintenance throughout
its life. If the case gets dirty, clean it with a mild soap and
water solution.
