Depth Measurement

The C.Scope Cable Avoidance Tool XD can be used in conjunction with the Signal Generator or

Sonde to indicate the depth of a buried service.

Depth cannot be measured on the Power or Radio modes.

1. The Signal Generator must be set to “Continuous” Signal output, NOT pulsed output.

2. It is vital that the signal being measured is a GOOD QUALITY signal. This is best achieved by

using the Signal Generator in Connected mode rather than Induced mode.

3. Set the locator to Generator mode and pinpoint the position of the buried service. Make

sure the locator is directly over the buried service and at right angles to it’s route. Rest the

locator on the ground with the body vertical.

WARNING The depth indication MUST NOT be used to decide if mechanical digging over

the buried service is appropriate.

WARNING If the following procedure for Depth Measurement is not followed then an

inaccurate depth may be indicated. This is worse than having no depth information at all.

NOTE A poor quality signal is indicated by an unstable visual response on the locator. Depth measurement will be

inaccurate in these circumstances.

WARNING If the pinpointing of the service is inaccurate then the depth measurement will be inaccurate.
