DETERMINING CABLE DEPTH AND CURRENT
Place the Receiver Antenna on the ground directly above the cable with
the handle parallel to the path. Press and the display will indicate
the cable depth and relative current | . Current is displayed in the lower |
left corner of the display. Press twice to continue tracing. You may
also press to return to Trace mode.
Note: During a
Using Current Indications During Locating
Both the Transmitter and Receiver will indicate cable current. These current indications will help to select a trace frequency, identify the correct cable and trouble shoot the set up.
When using the direct connect method, the Transmitter output current number is displayed. A "LO" display, or number less than 50, indicates a weak tracing signal. A number higher than 70 represents a strong tracing signal. When the Receiver is used to find the cable near the Transmitter connection point, the current number displayed in the Receiver should correspond (within 5 points) to the Transmitter number: IF you are over the correct cable, AND most of the signal is flowing in that cable.
Note: On the Transmitter every ten units on the current display represents a factor of two in current magnitude. On the Receiver, trace current readings for the additional auxiliary frequencies (except LF) are displayed in milliamps. For all other trace frequencies every ten units on the Current display represents a factor of two in current magnitude.
When the Transmitter signal is applied using the
