800-H Pipe and Cable Locator Manual

MAINTENANCE

The Pipehorn Series 800-H was carefully calibrated at the fac-

tory and no further internal adjustments should be required. With

reasonable care it should give many years of trouble free ser-

vice.

Batteries

The Receiver and Transmitter contain alkaline batteries for their

power source and you should change them periodically. How

often the instrument is used determines battery life. If the sound

becomes weak, the operation distance decreases, or if the in-

strument becomes inoperative, it is likely the result of dead bat-

teries. You should install fresh batteries as necessary. Change

the batteries once every six months to be certain that the instru-

ment will be ready to operate when needed.

NOTE: The usual reason for an inoperative unit is that the

power switch was not returned to the OFF position when work

was completed. The receiver times out after 5 minutes of no

use, and the transmitter creates an audible tone letting the op-

erator know it is still turned on.
