Using the Signal Generator/ Transmitter:
Searching for an Induced Signal
The search pattern used to find the Signal Generator/ Transmitter
signal when applied by Induction Mode is slightly different
to the search pattern used on other modes.
1. Move AT LEAST 10 m (33’) away from the Signal Generator/
Transmitter position with your Locator. This is to avoid the Locator
picking up the airborne signal rather than the signal induced onto
the buried service.
2. Stand so that you are roughly in line with the end of
the Signal Generator/ Transmitter and hold the Locator
so that the side of the Locator is facing towards
the Signal Generator/ Transmitter.
3. Select Generator/ Transmitter Mode.
The MXL4 Locator must be set to the same frequency
as the MXT4 Transmitter.
4. Adjust the sensitivity so that the Locator shows a minimal visual
response and emits a minimal audible response.
NOTE
A Signal Generator/ Transmitter will transmit a significant amount of signal into the air as well as into the ground.
Keep the Locator upright at all times to reduce the risk of picking up the airborne signal.
