Using the Signal Generator/ Transmitter:
Output Power Level and Pulse/ Continuous Output
NOTE
When using accessories such as the Signal Clamp, Signal Injector, Plastic Pipe Tracers and Flexible Tracer
it is normally best to use the highest power setting.

Output Power Level
The SGV4 Signal Generator and the MXT4 Transmitter have four, selectable output power levels.
The SGA4 Signal Generator has two selectable output power levels.
For long distance tracing or for detecting deep services it is always best to use the highest power setting of the Signal Generator/
Transmitter. Please note, however, that higher power settings will drain the batteries more quickly than lower power settings.
For tracing work close to the signal application point, especially when using Induction Mode, the lower power settings are better.
Pulsed/Continuous Output
For most locating work a Continuous signal output is best and MUST be used for any Depth or Signal Current Measurements.
A Pulsed signal output can be useful when it has become difficult to distinguish the Signal Generator/Transmitter
signal from unwanted interference, for example, when tracing services over long distances or at greater depths.
