INDUCTIVE LOCATING

This method is used when there is no direct access to the tar-

get conductor. It is also helpful in finding conductors with loca-

tions that are unknown.

With the 800-HL the High-frequency is the only frequency in-

duced onto the conductor. It will only do so when the connec-

tion cables have been disconnected 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 pos-

sible or is prohibited.

Apply the HF Signal

Place the 800-HL Transmitter directly over the conductor with

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

alignment 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

position the receiver antenna near the ground. Set the receiver

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

sensitivity knob clockwise to turn the receiver ON.
