800-H Pipe and Cable Locator Manual

INDUCTIVE LOCATING

This method is used when there is no direct access to the target

conductor. It is also helpful in finding conductors with locations

that are unknown.

With the 800-H the High-frequency is induced onto the conduc-

tor. It will only do so when the connection cables have been dis-

connected from the transmitter.

Starting From a Known Point

Use the following steps to begin tracing a conductor from a

known point such as, a meter, valve, pedestal, or line marker,

where access to the conductor for direct hook-up is not possible

or is prohibited.

Apply the HF Signal

Place the 800-H Transmitter directly over the conductor with the

handle in-line with the conductor, as shown below. Careful align-

ment and placement of the transmitter will maximize the signal

on the conductor. Turn the transmitter ON.

Set Up the Receiver

Move 5-10 steps away from the transmitter in the direction of the

suspected run of the conductor. Face the transmitter and posi-

tion the receiver antenna near the ground. Set the receiver to

receive High-Frequency as explained on page 8. Move the sen-

sitivity knob clockwise to turn the receiver ON.
