Searching Areas Along a Chain Link Fence
Searching in the vicinity of a chain link fence requires a reduced sensitivity setting and also some control over the orientation of the
locator. As illustrated in Figure 13, position the locator horizontally, with its long axis perpendicular to the fence. This ensures that
the upper sensor is kept away from the fence.
Figure 13. Searching in the Vicinity of a Chain Link Fence
Perform the search by slowly moving the locator forward along the fence while also moving it in to the right and to the left. This
technique allows you to search an area several feet wide as you move forward. Listen for an abrupt drop in the signal, (as shown
by the null in Figure 14.) that will occur when the lower sensor, located 1-5/8 inches from the end of the locator, is directly over
the stake. Any variation in the position of the locator will produce an abrupt rise in the frequency of the signal.
