10.After a fault is located and pinpointed, move the 3M™ Earth Contact Frame about one Earth Contact Frame width away from the fault and insert it in the ground with the green-banded leg towards the fault. Compare the numeric signal level with the fault level reference signal indicated in the lower left box labeled Ref. If the reading is within 12 dB of the reference signal, the operator has found the major fault. If the fault reading does not fall within 12 db of the reference signal reading, multiple faults may exist. The signal level of this secondary fault can be saved by pressing Fault 1 [SK] or Fault 2 [SK]. The fault with the highest reading will be the primary fault.

Note: For additional information about locating buried sheath faults and earth return faults, please see the 3M publication Cable and Pipe Locating Techniques at www.3M. com/dynatel.
