INTRodUCTIoN

The AT-3500 underground cable/pipe locator system is designed for the uncomplicated and user-friendly determination of the
location, orientation and depth of metallic lines (e.g. cable and pipe lines).
It can be used to probe areas for unknown lines or for locating specific lines.
The AT-3500 is distinguished by the following features:
Robust construction for use in poor weather and in harsh environments
Simple, user-friendly operation concept with a minimum number of controls
Reliable battery status indicator

oPERATIoN

1. Decide which mode of operation to use for your application
• Induction: Transmitter's signal is emitted through the integrated antenna and is thereby inductively coupled with
any metallic lines located within a certain radius.
i. Place the T-3500 transmitter on the site to be searched. Refer to Figs.1, 2.3&4.
• direct Connection:
connected to the jacks on the front panel of the transmitter. Transmitter clamps, alligator clips or power socket adapters
(for example) may be used to connect the measurement cable to the lines.
i. Connect the T-3500 transmitter to the line to be located using the desired method. Refer to Figs 1, 2, 3, & 4
T-3500 Transmitter
2. Push and Hold oN/oFF button to switch on the T-4000
3. Push Mode: C to select direct coupling or inductive coupling
• Direct coupling
Green LED blinking: good (low-resistance) connection
Alternating red and green LED blinking: sufficient connection
Red LED blinking: poor/no (high-resistance) connection
• Inductive Coupling:
Green LED blinking: induction mode is active
4. Push Signal Type: M to select Pulsed or Continuous signal
• Pulsed Signal
• Continuous Signal
Green LED blinking indicates respective signal is on
5. Push Signal Strength: P to select low (0.1W) or High(0.5W) output signal strength
• Low output (0.1W)
• High output(0.5W)
Green LED blinking indicates respective signal is on
R-3500 Receiver
6. Push and Hold the Control1 button
7. Push briefly the ON/OFF button
• Listen for the audible signal before releasing control1
• The display shows the following:
8.
8. Push control3 to select the unit of measurement (meter
9. Push Control1 to select normal depth measurement
Transmitter's signal is directly coupled with a metallic line via the measurement cable which is
is helpful when there is interference. Easier to distinguish from other signals.
is better to be used when taking a depth measurement
for normal tracing. Battery saving
for long tracing
