B. Connecting Transmitter Leads
I M P O RTA N T: THE TRANSMITTER IS PROTECTED A G A I N S T DAMAGE FROM
I N A D V E RT E N T D I R E C T CONNECTION TO VOLTAGES UP TO 250 VAC. HOWEVER,
D I R E C T CONNECTION TO ENERGIZED CABLE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. T H E
INDUCTIVE COUPLER MODELIC-1 IS INCLUDED FOR SUCH APPLICATIONS.
Shielded Cable (Coaxial): Connect one lead to the shield and the other
lead to one wire within the cable.
Unshielded Cable: Connect each lead to separate conductors within the
cable.
Single Conductor: Connect one lead to the conductor and the other lead
to earth ground via screwdriver.
Metallic Pipe or Conduit: Connect one lead to the pipe or conduit and the
other lead to earth ground via screwdriver.
Gas Pipes: Connect one lead to the "IN" line of the gas meter and the other
lead to the "OUT" line.
PVC Plastic or Non-Metallic Pipes: A fish tape or plumber's snake must
be inserted into the pipe first. Connect one lead to the fish tape or snake and
the other lead to earth ground via screwdriver.
Connecting the transmitter leads to conductors or shield within the cable will
minimize the bleeding effect or the tracking signal into adjacent utilities in
congested areas.
Connecting one lead to a conductor or shield and the other to earth ground via
screwdriver will insure maximum distance. This method can be used in all
applications. However, it may increase the chances of the bleeding effect.
C. Testing Re c e iver Bat t e r i e s
Turn receiver control on and rotate clockwise to the 12:00 position. Turn the
transmitter on to #3 position and pass receiver antenna close to the transmitter.
Any indication from the receiver indicates acceptable battery condition. Refer
to Maintenance Section for battery replacement.
D. Operating Receiver
Turn receiver control knob on and rotate clockwise to the 12:00 position. If
optional head set is to be used, plug headset into receiver jack provided. A peak
meter indication will be seen and a strong tone will be heard when the
receiver/antenna is directly over the cable or pipe. The antenna or T-e n d
s h o u l d b e o r i e n t e d perpendicular to the path of the subject utility. (See
Fig. 01)
E. Locating Path
NOTE:
THE
CONTROLKNOB SHOULD INITIALLY
BE SET AS LOW AS POSSIBLE TO
MINIMIZE THE BLEEDING EFFECTIN
CONGESTED AREAS.
Connect transmitter properly
and set output level to #3. Radius
the area approximately 10' to 15'
from the transmitter location with
the receiver. Proceed down the
path following the peak meter
