- Digitally-coded sender signal for clear, reliable signal identification
- LC-display shows transmitting level, code identification, and external voltage
- Functions with both live and dead cables
- Automatic or manual sensitivity adjustment for varying signal strengths
- Torch lamp function for visibility in dark installation areas
- Acoustical signal output switchable for silent or audible operation
- Auto-Power-Off to extend battery life
Specifications
- Type: Cable Locator Transmitter
- Safety Rating: EN61010-1 CAT III 300V input protection
- Display: LC backlit display
- Weight: 0.2 kg
- Color: Blue Pearl Fade Metallic Finish

FAQ
Does the 2042T come with a receiver unit?
The 2042T is the transmitter only. A complete system requires pairing with a Fluke 2042 receiver unit for full cable location functionality.
Can additional transmitters be used with a single receiver?
Yes, additional transmitters are available separately to distinguish between multiple cables or circuits within a single installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the LC-display on the 2042T transmitter help electricians track signal transmission during cable tracing?
The display shows transmit level, selected code, and external voltage, allowing technicians to confirm signal is actively transmitting and adjust power if needed to reach distant cable runs.
What advantage does the digitally-coded sender signal provide over traditional unmodulated cable tracers?
Digital coding ensures the operator can distinguish the correct cable from nearby power lines or interference, reducing risk of tracing the wrong conductor.
Can the 2042T transmitter be used on both energized and de-energized circuits without damage?
The transmitter is designed for controlled signal injection. For safe operation on live vs. dead circuits, contact Procure.ae for guidance on proper connection methods.
How does the transmitter inject its signal into a cable, and what connection types are supported?
Typical methods include alligator clip attachment to exposed conductors or induction coupling through the cable sheath. For exact interface options on the 2042T, contact Procure.ae.
What maximum cable length can the 2042T reliably reach, and how far can the receiver detect the signal?
Signal range depends on cable type, shielding, and nearby interference. For performance specifications and expected range, contact Procure.ae.
Is the 2042T transmitter compatible only with Fluke 2042 receiver units, or can other tracers detect its signal?
The digitally-coded signal is optimized for Fluke 2042 receivers. Cross-compatibility with other brand receivers is not guaranteed.
What is the lead time for ordering the 2042T transmitter unit as a standalone part or replacement?
Lead times depend on stock availability in your region. Contact Procure.ae to request a quote.
Can Procure.ae arrange expedited delivery if a transmitter fails mid-project?
Procure.ae works on a request-a-quote basis. Contact the team to discuss urgent replacement or emergency shipping options.
What power source does the 2042T transmitter use, and what is battery life?
For battery type, capacity, and operating runtime, contact Procure.ae.
Is the 2042T sold separately or only as part of the complete 2042 cable locator system?
The 2042T transmitter is available as a standalone unit and as part of the 2042 system. Contact Procure.ae for ordering options.
What warranty does Fluke provide on the 2042T transmitter?
Fluke provides manufacturer warranty on the transmitter. Contact Procure.ae to confirm coverage duration and any regional support options.
