power induced into the ground. The transmitter is now inducing signal
approximately 20 to 25 feet from it, and energizing any conductors in
that field. You may now trace any conductor that has picked up that
signal.
Also note, when the user is within 20 to 25 feet of the transmitter, you
cannot trace a cable because the signal from the case itself will
overpower the induced cable signal. The user will always hear the
transmitter signal within 20 feet of the transmitter case.
The Broadcast mode does not have a power output adjustment on the
transmitter. In addition, remember that ALL conductors in the ground
that can pick up the signal will. Therefore, tracking is better in non-
congested areas.
It is important to understand the uses and limitations of Broadcast Mode
when compared to direct connection with the alligator clips.
Note: Broadcast Mode operates using Null reception only
Inductive Clamp Mode –
To use the IC4 clamp, plug the clamp into
the clamp receptacle on the Pro900™ transmitter and place the
transmitter in the "Broadcast or Clamp" mode. Clamp the IC4 around the
cable or pipe to be traced. For best performance, orient the clamp so
that the side with the wired handle is closest to the cable. You can also
increase the effectiveness of the clamp by wrapping the wire around the
clamp as many times as possible. Like a transformer, the more wraps,
the more power.
Please note, the clamp must be placed between grounding points on
each end of the cable and the cable must be grounded on both ends for
the clamp to work. The clamp induces current onto the cable and the
current will not flow if the cable isn't grounded on both ends.
Note: Inductive Clamp Mode operates using Null reception only.
