For MXL4 Locator only, Signal Current Measurement
is a feature by which it is possible to measure
the TRUE strength of the MXT4 Transmitter signal
on a buried metal pipe or cable irrespective of depth.
This is a useful aid for the correct identification
of specific pipes and cables and may also help
to determine the layout and condition of a pipe
or cable network.
When the Transmitter has been connected to
a particular ‘target’ service, the Locator may not
always show the strongest response over that
service. If the target pipe or cable happens
to be much deeper than other services,
which have picked up some of the Transmitter
signal, these other services may show similar
responses. However, the Signal Current reading
will invariably be highest on the target pipe
or cable therefore aiding correct identification.
