800-H Pipe and Cable Locator Manual

EQUIPMENT CHECKS
This System Check not only verifies the condition of your batter-
ies but also the performance of your Pipehorn. This should be a
routine check made each day before you begin your locate.
Knowing if your Pipehorn is operating to standards before you
begin your locate will save you time and money.
Check High-Frequency
Place the Transmitter on the ground but not over a conductor and turn it
ON. Set the Receiver to receive High-frequency and set the sensitivity
to minimum (lowest number without turning it off). Starting up next to
the Transmitter as shown, the Receiver should be beeping. Move it in a
line away from the Transmitter. The beeping should stop between 3 to
7 feet. The Transmitter should be making a High pitch tone.
Check Conductive Mode
Hook the Conductive Cables together and plug them into the Transmit-
ter. Turn both the Receiver and Transmitter ON. Stretch the wires out
to form a Circle. Set the Receiver sensitivity to minimum. Position the
Receiver in line with one of the wires. The Receiver should be beeping
and the Transmitter should be making a High pitch tone.
If the Receiver volume is low replace the batteries. If your Pipehorn
does not perform as above, replace batteries and try again. Otherwise
it may be in need of service or calibration.
