Using the Signal Generator/ Transmitter:
Searching for the Direct Connected Signal
The search pattern used to find the Signal 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 Signal Generator/
Transmitter has been connected to the service. Turn the Mode Switch
to Generator/ Transmitter Mode. Hold the Locator so that the side
of the Locator is facing towards the Signal Generator/Transmitter.
For MXT4 only, ensure that the Transmitter and Locator are set to
the same frequency.
2. Adjust the Locator sensitivity so it shows a minimal visual response
and emits a minimal 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 adjust 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 Signal Generator/Transmitter is connected to.
