800-H Pipe and Cable Locator Manual

Advantages of the 800-H
Every locating job is different. Success calls for a unique blend
of equipment, experience, and persistence. In some situations,
a low-frequency, conductive locator will perform better than a
high-frequency, inductive locator. In other situations, the reverse
is true.
The advantage of the high-frequency is that it traces poor con-
ductors, can locate short lengths better than the low-frequency,
and it does not have to be directly connected, though this
method is available. Inductive operation is much faster and eas-
ier allowing the operator to move the signal to any place which is
useful. The disadvantage of high-frequency during inductive
locating is that it can place more signal on adjacent conductors,
making isolation more difficult.
The 800-H is capable of both inductive and conductive modes.
During conductive mode the high-frequency no longer induces
signal which helps isolate the target.
The receiver has a meter to show signal strength which is helpful
in noisy situations. This meter also aids in depth estimation. We
have also tuned the receiver’s audio feedback to produce tones
that are most audible by the human ear.
In short, the Series 800-H Professional Pipe & Cable Locator is a
more complete and productive tool for any user.
