Generator/ Transmitter:
Searching for the Direct Connected Signal
The search pattern used to find the Generator/ Transmitter signal
when applied by a direct connection method
(
Direct Connection
Leads, Signal Clamp or Signal Injector
)
is different to the normal
search pattern used on Power, Radio or
All Scan Modes.
1. Move a few paces away from where the Generator/ Transmitter
has been connected to the service. Turn the Mode Switch to
Generator Mode or Transmitter Mode. Press the Frequency
Button
(
MXL2 Locator only
)
to select the same frequency as being
transmitted by the Transmitter. Hold the Locator so that the side of
the Locator is facing towards the Generator/ Transmitter.
2. Adjust the sensitivity so that the Locator is just showing a visual
response and just emitting an audible response.
3. If possible walk in a COMPLETE circle around the connection point
trying to keep the same distance from this point at all times. When a
signal is detected, ‘pinpoint’ that signal as shown in the ‘Using the
Locator’ section.
4. Having pinpointed the first signal, do NOT readjust the Sensitivity
Control but continue with the circle to see if any other signals are
detected. If more signals are detected compare the strength of each
signal by observing the bar display. The strongest signal will usually
be coming from the service that the Generator/ Transmitter is
connected to.
