ACCESSORIES

The coupling clamp is useful when the utility is exposed, 

and a direct connection is not possible.  It is plugged into 

the  same  plug-in  socket  as  the  ground-plate/ground-rod 

assembly.  The coupling clamp only operates at the 82 kHz 

frequency.  The coupling clamp will fit around utilities that 

are 3-¼ inches in diameter or smaller.  The length of the 

cable is approximately 10 feet.

Coupling Clamp

Fisher Research Laboratory has a variety of headsets avail-

able. 

•Ultra-quiet  deluxe  Fisher  Phones.    High  quality  sound 

while reducing the outside noise.

•Standard Stereo Headphones

•Single Earpiece Headset.  Enables the operator to effec-

tively listen to the TW-7700 and remain aware of noise in 

close proximity.

Coupling Clamp Applications Diagram

A.  The  coupling  clamp  is  for  all 
tracing applications with conduc-
tors exposed; exception, an open 
circuit at line’s termination.
B.  A  ground  must  be  provided 
for the proper current flow when 
the  coupling  clamp  is  used  at  a 
termination.
C.  The  coupling  clamp  must  be 
used  between  the  grounding 
and where the line goes  under-
ground. 

D. Trace signal will return to ground 
when incorrectly coupled.
E. Signal will be transmitted in both 
directions  when  connecting  is 
midway in a long conductor.
F. Drop lines or laterals divide the 
signal  strength  in  half  at  each 
junction.
