SERIES

Trace the path by walking away from the transmItter at a moderate pace. Move the receIver to the

left and right while walking, following the PEAK indications.

As you trace the path, the PEAK meter reading may slowly fade as you move away from the

transmItter. Press and release the GAIN buttons as needed to compensate for changes in level

(higher or lower). One of the following may occur:

a) A junction where the signal divides and goes several directions.

b) A break in the cable or shield.

c) A change in the depth of the cable or pipe.

d) An insulated pipe fitting.

e) A slack loop of cable.

If you can no longer trace the path, even with the GAIN set to maximum, connect the

transmItter to

the far end of the path and trace back to the point where you lost the signal.

Mark the straight sections of the path every few feet. Mark sharp curves, loops, and cable bundles

every few inches. Sharp changes in the path cause the

receIver PEAK and NULL indications to behave

differently than when tracing a straight path. Practice on the path that you know has turns and laterals

in it. This will help you to recognize the conditions within the field.

Keep the receIver in a vertical position. Move the receIver left to right across the path. When the

receIver is directly above the cable or pipe, rotate the receIver for a maximum signal. As you move

the receIver away from the cable path, the meter reading (and audio frequency response) will drop

off.

If you rotate the

receIver while over the cable, a sharp NULL will identify the cable’s direction. It is

aligned with the flat side of the receIver.

Make sure the

transmItter is connected and in the ON position. Then move approximately 15 feet

(4.5 meters) away from the transmItter along the path. (Move about 25 feet (7.5 meters) for the

Inductive search mode.)

Hold the

receIver so that you can easily see the LCD bar graph and the control panel. Make sure

the receIver and the transmItter Frequencies are both set for the same Frequency, 8kHz, 33kHz or

82kHz.
