Operation (cont'd)
Using the Transmitter and Receiver Together (Trace Mode)
The Transmitter
Set up the transmitter in one of the following methods: Direct Connection, Clamp, or Inductive
Mode. Review the Introduction to determine which method is most suitable for the application.
DIRECT CONNECTION
If tracing a live circuit, connect the transmitter at the endpoint of the circuit or branch—not in
the middle or at the source. This will provide the best results.
1. Verify that the circuit voltage is a maximum of 600 VAC or 300 VDC.
2. Plug the leads into the Signal Output jacks.
3. Connect one clip to a solid earth ground. If a solid earth ground is not available, use the
ground stake included in the kit.
Notes:
(1) If the general direction of the buried line is known, locate the ground stake so that the
extension lead runs perpendicular to the buried line.
(2) If the soil is dry, moisten the area around the ground stake before using the buried
line locator. Moisture increases conductivity and provides better results.
4. Connect the second clip to a conductor. This can be a wire, cable, metallic conduit or pipe.
5. Set the switch to LINE/CLAMP CONNECTION. The POWER lamp will flash. If the wire has
a voltage potential relative to ground, the "Live Line" lamp will illuminate.
6. When finished tracing the buried line, disconnect the transmitter in reverse order.
CLAMP
1. Place the clamp around the wire or conduit to be traced.
2. Plug the clamp into the transmitter.
3. Set the switch to LINE/CLAMP CONNECTION. The POWER lamp will flash.
Electric shock hazard:
Contact with live circuits can result in severe injury or death.
