1.Place the transmitter on the ground over the target cable with the lid hinge in line with the cable path.

1.Hold down for Battery Test (solid tone=good; beeping tone=low; no tone=replace batteries).

2.Press to turn the unit on and select Continuity

DANGER!

Check for stray voltages before attaching transmitter. Voltage greater than 240 volts will damage equipment and cause personal injury and death. Follow standard procedures for reducing the voltage.

1.With the transmitter off, plug the direct connect cable into the transmitter front panel jack.

2.Connect the black clip to the ground rod.

3.Place the ground rod in the earth as far from the near

end connection as the leads will allow, at a 90± degree angle to the suspected cable path.

4.Remove the near-end shield bond; connect the red clip to the shield.

1.Plug the Dyna-Coupler into the cable (optional

accessories). Plug the cable into the transmitter front panel jack.

2.Clamp the Dyna-Coupler around the cable below any bonds just before the cable enters the earth.

Note: Dyna-Coupler jaws must be fully closed.

Test (solid tone=good ground; beeping tone= usable ground; no tone=poor ground or no far end ground). Both LEDs light continuously during the continuity test.

3.Press to apply Tracing Tone 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, or for use with coupler, or induction.

LED indicates frequency selection. (This key can also turn the unit on.)

4.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 coupler, induction, or direct connect for long distances and deep cables.

5.When locating is complete, press to turn the unit off.
