6. Locating Buried Cables And Pipes A. Transmitter Connections Perform a battery test. Use one of the following three methods to produce a trace signal on the target pipe or cable. 1. Direct Connect Method ! WARNING This WARNING applies to the use of the Direct Connect Cables and the Transmitter.
−− If the continuity of the circuit is very good (the reading on the display is less than 3K Ω. and a solid tone from the transmitter is heard) all frequencies can be used to locate. Always use the lowest frequency available (for example, 577 Hz). Lower frequencies are less likely to ‘bleed over’ to other cables in the same area, and are very good for tracing over long distances. −− If the circuit reads more than 3K Ω.
2. 3M™ Dyna-Coupler Method ! WARNING This WARNING applies to the following 3M Dyna-Couplers; • 3" (75 mm) - Part number 3001 • 4.5" (114 mm) - Part number 4001 • 6" (150 mm) - Part number 1196 • All accessory kits containing any of the listed Dyna-Couplers - Part numbers 3019, 4519, 1196/C A potential for electrical shock exists when using the Dyna-Coupler on cables energized with electrical power. Use appropriate safety procedures. DO NOT USE ON CABLES CARRYING IN EXCESS OF 600 VOLTS RMS.
3. Induction Method If you cannot make a direct connection, or use the 3M™ Dyna-Coupler clamp to apply a locating signal on the target, use the induction method. When nothing is plugged into the Output Jack [T-6] of the transmitter the unit will be placed into induction mode when it is turned on. This method uses the internal coil of the transmitter to generate a magnetic field.
Note: If nothing is plugged into the Output Jack [T-6] of the transmitter, the transmitter will automatically turn on the internal antennae, and the last frequency used (8 kHz, 33 kHz, 82 kHz or 200 kHz) will broadcast in induction mode. The induction frequency can be changed by pressing the Trace [T-3] (Frequency [T-3] on 2550) button on the transmitter. For best results, the receiver should be at least 25 feet (7.
Walk in a grid pattern over the sweep area holding the receiver as shown in the following illustration. Stop when there is a response increase, locate the position of the maximum signal, follow the conductor path all the way out of the sweep area while putting location marks on the ground. Resume the sweep until another cable or pipe is detected, or the whole area is completely swept. Switch to another available passive frequency in the receiver and sweep again. D.

7. Receiver Locating Trace Modes A. Trace View (T-View) TRACE [2] Trace View mode, or T-View, provides an intuitive mapping display showing the utility path utilizing a dynamic directional arrows and path indication line. This combination provides an excellent visual representation of the utility path and directional assistance to assist in pinpointing the target. Several displays may be seen when using Trace View: Display 1.
Display 3. As the receiver antenna crosses the target, the receiver volume increases to a maximum, the signal strength will be at its maximum and the directional arrow will become a straight line that is closely lined up with the target line on the display. See following examples; On Target Path Display 4. A circle consisting of two arrows appears when the orientation of the receiver is not at the optimum position in relation to the target.
The Induction Peak mode of the receiver is a mode in which the upper antenna of the receiver is tuned to minimize distortion from the magnetic field of the transmitter. Left or Right of Target Path Directly Over Target Path D. Directional Peak (Dir Pk) TRACE [2] + Mode [SK] + Dir Pk [SK Toggle] or Menu/OK [5] + Cable/Pipe [SK] + Mode [SK] + Dir Pk [SK Toggle] In Directional Peak mode, four peak antennas are used to analyze the magnetic field pattern.
E. Directional Null (DirNull) TRACE [2] + Mode [SK] + DirNull [SK Toggle] or Menu/OK [5] + Cable/Pipe [SK] + Mode [SK] + DirNull [SK Toggle] In Directional Null mode, as the operator approaches the cable or pipe, the numerical Signal Strength [9] ([8] for 2550 locator) will increase then fall sharply as the receiver crosses the target cable or pipe. The Bar Graph [11] ([10] for 2550 locator) fills from both sides toward the middle and the receiver speaker volume decreases.
F. Expanded Mode VOL [13] (press up arrow) When the third ring of the speaker icon is dotted or broken and ‘xpnd’ appears below the speaker icon as shown, the receiver is in “Expanded” mode. This mode is used for pinpointing a target cable or pipe. The area of response of the receiver narrows, allowing the locator to detect very small signal changes. Press the Speaker Volume Control [13] ([12] for 2550 locator) key to activate the "Expanded" mode. 8.
