DISPLAY
1. Signal Strength: Indicates your proximity to the center of the
electromagnetic field emitted by the utility.
999: maximum value
0: minimum value
You may find different locations where the
Signal Strength value is high. Use this
reading as a relative indicator as to where
the utility is located. Signal Strength is
strongly influenced by the depth of the
utility.

INDUCTIVE LOCATING
Inductive locating is most effective with
the Transmitter straddling the utility as
illustrated, with the utility perpendicular to
the Transmitter’s batteries.
If the utility direction is unknown,
place Transmitter on the ground, power
on, and sweep the Receiver a complete
360º around the Transmitter, keeping
at least a 25-foot (8-meter) distance
between the Transmitter and Receiver.
If unsuccessful, move the Transmitter
to another location. When located, the
Receiver’s azimuth indicator will show
the direction of the utility.
In inductive mode, the Transmitter’s LCD will
not display Signal Current. When the ground
rod is plugged in, the Signal Current display
will illuminate.
CONDUCTIVE LOCATING
1. Connect the Ground Rod
assembly to the Transmitter.
2. Push the Ground Rod into
the earth at a 90º angle to the
direction of the utility.
3. Connect the red clamp to the
non-energized utility.
4. Connect the black clamp to the
Ground Rod.
Be sure not to place the wires
over any other utility.
5. Move at least 25 feet (8 meters) away from the
connection point.
6. Sweep the Receiver in a circle around the connection
point.
7. Using information provided on the display,
find the areas that need to be traced and analyze the
situation in more detail to find the buried utility.
