Using the Signal Generator/ Transmitter:
Tracing the Direct Connected Signal
The tracing technique used to follow the Signal
Generator/Transmitter signal when applied by
a direct connection method
(
Direct Connection
Leads, Signal Clamp or Signal Injector
)
is almost exactly the same as the normal
tracing technique used on Power, Radio
or
All
Scan Modes, except the signal the Locator
is detecting will get weaker the further away
from the Signal Generator/Transmitter that
you go. It will be necessary to regularly increase
the Locator Sensitivity Control to compensate
for this.
For MXT4 only, having traced the signal for
a short distance it may be worthwhile switching
the MXT4 Transmitter to alternative frequencies
to see if they give a stronger response.
Choose the frequency that gives the strongest
response and continue with the trace.
NOTE
It is not possible to search for the signal above any leads connecting the Signal Generator/Transmitter
to the service or above the Earth Lead connected to the Earth Stake.
