TRANSMITTER
1. Battery Test Meter: Gives a visual indication of
battery strength.
2. Battery Test/Warble Tone Switch:
A. When toggle switch is held toward the meter,
battery strength is indicated on meter. Replace
batteries if indication is below 5, (5 is the line with
the arrow attached).
Usually transmitter and receiver -batteries are
replaced at the same time.
B. When Toggle Switch is pressed to the right it
clicks into that position. This results in a pulsating
sound from the receiver speaker and an oscillation
of the needle between zero and 100 instead of the
normal continuous sound and needle level.

One method is to run an electrician’s “sh-tape” or plumber’s
“snake” down the pipe and connect the transmitter to it using
the ground plate assembly. Attach the ground plate assembly
clamp to the tape or “snake” and trace the pipe with receiver
or receiver and tracer probe. B lockages in pipes can be
located this way too in that the tracing signal will stop where
the tape or “snake” ends at the stoppage. Tracer tape which
is aluminum foil tape sandwiched in printed mylar is available
from 3 or 4 U.S. manufacturers in two-inch widths and wider. It
can be laid into the trench above a non-metallic pipe. When
laid according to the tape manufacturer’s instructions, the tape
and hence pipe can be located Inductively or Conductively.
When laid only 8” or 10” below the surface, it can also be
traced with a valve and box locator such as a Fisher M-66 or
M-97.
