Using LineTrac
The UtilityScan is available with an optional integrated electromagnetic (EM) line locator. This device is internal and is
designed to aid in the detection of certain utilities in two main ways.
Power Mode
is a passive AC current detector.
It will detect AC electrical current of either 50 Hz
or 60 Hz flowing through a line. The line must be
energized and under load to be detectable.
Frequency Mode
works in conjunction with an
active source to trace a utility. You will need a
signal transmitter (not provided by GSSI). This is a
commonly available component already owned by
many pipe and cable locators. You will need to
either direct connect, clamp, or use the transmitter’s
induction mode to send a signal through a
conductive pipe or one that has a tracer wire.
Tap LineTrac from the top level of the Menu
Carousel in ScanMax. For Power mode select the
AC frequency used in your geographic area. For
Frequency mode, tap the frequency corresponding to your transmitter frequency.
Tap Accept when done and continue the survey setup as normal.
