ALWAYS EXCAVATE WITH CARE
C.Scope Locators detect services radiating a detectable signal. There may be some services that do not radiate a signal and cannot be located.
Do not use the equipment outside of the temperature range -10˚C to +50˚C (14˚F to 122˚F) as the batteries may cease to function adequately.
Geographical conditions such as hills and mountains may effectively screen signals and prevent a detectable Radio signal.
The Locators alone will not always locate every service. Use a Signal Generator/Transmitter wherever possible.
Do not touch the metal of the Signal Generator/Transmitter Crocodile Clips or of the Plastic Pipe Tracer or Flexible Tracer terminals when in use.
The Signal Generator/Transmitter leads MUST NOT be connected directly to a live service.
Beware of multiple services. The Locators will not always indicate services that are close together or one above the other.
Do not use the equipment in areas where hazardous gases may be present.
Check for underground services before using the Earth Stake.
Always make sure that the Locator and Signal Generator/Transmitter are set to the same frequency when used together.
Performance may be impaired by unusually strong electromagnetic fields.
Do not hold the Locator Loudspeaker close to the ear for extended periods.
It is recommended that the operation of the Locator and Signal Generator/Transmitter is regularly checked
