Active
There are three ways to place active signals on a target line with
a transmitter:
• Direct connection (preferred method) requires a connection
to be made directly onto target line.
• Induction clamp requires placing an optional induction clamp
around target line.
• Broadcast method requires no connection and sends current
into lines near the transmitter.
Beacon
If equipped, trace non-metallic pipes or conduits by locating and
following a 29 kHz beacon signal.
Passive
Some utility lines pick up signals from the environment and carry
them as detectable signals. These passive signals can be power
signals or radio signals.
IMPORTANT: No depth estimates are available in this mode.
