Helpful Hints
Increases in signal strength and/or the size of the area it is
occurring from usually indicates some type of anomaly in the
cabling. Things that could cause this are valves (as described
above), nicks, cuts, bad splices, or cut wires. Good condition
cable does not normally change the tone or strength, other than a
very gradual loss of reception over distance, but it is possible.
Slack loops of extra wire left in the ground at installation are an
example of a condition that would cause an increase of signal and
yet have no problem.
Also, ground condition makes a huge difference in the
performance of cable locators. Basically a path is being created
from the transmitter, through the cable, out through the ground
and back to the ground stake. Any mistake in any of these links
will cause the locator to not work properly. Be sure your ground
stake is secure and in the dirt and that the transmitter is
connected to the cable you want to track.
In addition, the more conductive the soil, the better. As moisture is
a good conductor, the wetter the better. Dry sandy desert soil is
not a good transmitter of signal and you will experience better
results in moist soil. If you are in the desert, a little water at the
ground stake may help.
The best way to really learn the Pro700 is to use it. Set up a test
site at your home or office and get used to how it works. There is
no substitute for experience in the art of locating. Good luck!
