Trace the Conductor

From the Receiver select which frequency you wish to trace with.

Sometimes one frequency will trace better than the other. Step a

few feet from the transmitter in the direction of the suspected

conductor and set the sensitivity to get a solid steady tone from

the receiver.

Begin walking away from the Transmitter along the path of the

conductor while sweeping the receiver’s antenna left and right

maintaining the LOW-HIGH-LOW tone pattern.

Verify the Conductor

After marking the conductor along the path away from the trans-

mitter (30 ft. recommended), move the transmitter to that spot

and inductively trace back to the source point (as described on

page 14. This will help ensure that you are on the right conduc-

tor.
