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 sus-

pected conductor and set the sensitivity to get a solid steady

tone from the receiver.

Begin walking asay 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. If one frequency

is not tracing well, try the other with a flick of the switch on the

receiver. In many situations you will find benefit to having ac-

cess to both frequencies at the same time on a conductor. This

can help isolate and verify conductors.

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). Be sure the Receiver is set to receive High-frequency.

This will help ensure that you are on the right conductor.

Using Two Frequencies

There are many benefits to having two frequencies running at

the same time. The 800-HL uses a Low and a High-frequency.

If you come to a break or insulatied joint in a line, the Low-

frequency may stop at that spot. With the 800-HL you can

simply switch the Receiver to receive the High-frequency and

continue with your locate. By continuing to check the High-

frequency you can see if there are Tee’s in the line or other

access points that the Low-frequency may skip over. Also if

the conductior material changes, one frequency may run good

at first but at the change the other frequency may run better.
