Direct Connect Method

Make sure the Transmitter is off. Plug the direct connect cable into the front panel jack. Connect the Black clip to the ground rod. Place the ground rod in the earth perpendicular to the suspected cable path. If necessary, extend the black lead with the Ground Extension Cable. Remove the ground bonding and attach the Red clip to the shield.

Note: Never attach or remove the direct connect cable from the Transmitter front panel jack while the red and black clips are connected to a cable.

Press to turn the unit on and select Continuity Test (solid tone=good ground; beepingtone=usable ground; no tone=poor ground or no far-end ground). Both LEDs light continuously during the continuity test.

Press to apply Tracing signal and select the desired frequency: 577 Hz for direct connect with far-end ground; or 33 kHz for direct connect with no far-end ground. LED indicates frequency selection. (This key can also turn the unit on.)

Press to change output level. Choose Normal output (flashing LED) for locating short to moderate distances using direct connect method. Use High output (solid LED) for long distances and deep cables.
