Sonde signal as "seen" by a conventional loca-
tor. Main peak in center and two false peaks
outside the two nulls.
Sonde signal as "seen" by the Scout. Only one
peak, no nulls.
3. How the unit is held does not affect signal strength. The
user can approach from any direction and does not
need to know the lie of the pipe or wire.
4. Additional tools to identify and solve "difficult" locates
include a graphical micro map and an angle indicator to
help interpret signal characteristics.
2.4 What Is The Micro Map Advantage?
The map provides graphics that shows the signal's charac-
teristics. It is a bird's eye view of the signal underground,
shown graphically on the screen. It is used as a guide for
tracing underground lines and can be used to better pinpoint
sondes. It can also be used to provide more information for
complex locates.
By moving the locator over the ground the Scout passes over
the signal emitted by the underground objects. This allows the
user to see on the screen, visualizations of the signal and then
mark them. Conventional locators cannot map the under-
ground signal as their antennas cannot see the complete
shape of it.
