Warning
Because of the risk of electrocution, it is very dangerous to use the product in the vicinity
of electrical installations such as power cables or electrical railways.
Precautions:
Keep at a safe distance from electrical installations. If it is essential to work in this environ-
ment, first contact the safety authorities responsible for the electrical installations and
follow their instructions.
During dynamic applications, for example stakeout procedures there is a danger of accidents
occurring if the user does not pay attention to the environmental conditions around, for
example obstacles, excavations or traffic.
Precautions:
The person responsible for the product must make all users fully aware of the existing
dangers.
The absence of a positive indication does not guarantee the non-existence of a service.
Services without a detectable signal may be present.
The Locators can only locate non-metallic services such as plastic pipes, typically used by the
water and gas utilities, with the use of appropriate accessories.
Precautions:
Always excavate with care.
Only with a Locator with depth:
The depth reading might not reflect the real depth if your Locator picks up the signal induced
into the service by the Transmitter. This signal is radiated from the centre of the service.
This is even more important when the signal is produced by a Sonde, lying in a large diameter
conduit!
Precautions:
Always compensate depth reading for service size.
