3. Press the "
/
" buttons to set the output to level one.
Increase the level if the resulting signal strength is poor.
Increasing the signal unnecessarily may result in the signal
being induced into unwanted lines.
Induction Mode – Locating with the Receiver
1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the power button for two seconds.
2. Press "
" button repeatedly until 33 kHz is selected.
3. Follow the steps as described in the Receiver Locating
section 3.1, using the Left/Right arrow indicators to quickly
assess location of the wire.
4. Optionally measure the depth of the wire. Refer to the
Taking Depth and Current Measurements section 4.3
for details.
For better accuracy, after the initial location of a utility is
detected, move the Transmitter directly over it in case it was
not placed precisely in the beginning of the search.
Where the signal is distorted, the arrows may indicate a different target position than the largest bar graph
reading. In this situation, always use the bar graph to pinpoint the line as it is influenced less than the Left/
Right arrows in a distorted signal field.
3.5 Direct Test Leads Connection Mode – Tracing an Individual Pipe or Cable
Direct connection with test leads is the most reliable method to trace individual cable or a pipe.
�WARNING
• Only authorized personnel should make connections to cables.
• The Transmitter can be connected to energized wires up to CAT IV 600 V and any de-energized wire or pipe.
• Do not touch metal parts of the connection clips when connecting to the line or when the Transmitter is on
as they may exceed 30 V rms.
• For shielded cables, always connect to the sheath of that cable. The sheath will stop the tracing signal if the
Transmitter is connected to one the internal wires.
