operating Pro871R transmitter. A beeping sound should be heard indicating that
the receiver is working properly. A high pitched tone could indicate that you are
too close to the receiver or your batteries are low. A fading signal indicates low
battery.
The volume control on the front of the receiver regulates the loudness of the
receiver, both headphones and external speaker. Additionally, the analog meter
on the front of the receiver will indicate the reception power level visually. After
connecting and turning on the transmitter and turning on the receiver, point the
receiver toward the ground and listen for the beeping signal. The closer you are
to the cable, the louder the signal should be except for directly over the cable.
The Pro871R also has the option of NULL or PEAK tracing. Simply put, NULL
means that the signal nulls or stops when the receiver is directly over the cable.
PEAK means the signal is loudest directly over the cable.
Helpful Hints
–
Also, ground condition makes a huge difference in the performance of cable
locators. Basically a path is being created from the transmitter, through the
cable, out through the ground and back to the ground stake. Any mistake in any
of these links will cause the locator to not work properly. Be sure your ground
stake is secure and in the dirt and that the transmitter is connected to the cable
you want to track.
In addition, the more conductive the soil, the better. As moisture is a good
conductor, the wetter the better. Dry sandy desert soil is not a good transmitter
of signal and you will experience better results in moist soil. If you are in the
desert, a little water at the ground stake may help.
The best way to really learn the Pro871 is to use it. Set up a test site at your
home or office and get used to how it works. There is no substitute for
experience in the art of locating. Good luck!
