Locating
Locate Points (FLP & RLP) and Locate Line (LL)
Three positions or locations within the transmitter’s field are used to locate the transmitter below ground.
Two of these locations represent extensions of the transmitter. One point is in front of the transmitter (the
front locate point or FLP), and the other is behind the transmitter (the rear locate point or RLP).
The third location is a line that represents the position of the transmitter. This
line is perpendicular to the
transmitter and is referred to as the locate line or LL.
The figure on the left below shows the geometry of the FLP, RLP, and LL from top (bird’s-eye) and side
views. Note how the RLP and FLP are equal distances from the LL when the transmitter is level and the
ground surface is level.
The figure on the right shows the geometry of the locate points and locate line when the transmitter is at a
negative or downward pitch. Note how, in this case, the RLP and FLP are at different distances from the
LL.
