CAUTION
Direct Connection
Direct Connection is the most reliable method of signal application. This method is relatively free of interference.
The greatest amount of signal strength can be achieved by this method. Low, mid and high frequency may be
used. The far end of the utility must be grounded.
Connect the Red Test Cord to an existing ground point or an exposed metallic section of the utility. Place the
Ground Rod approximately 10 feet from this point, at an angle of 90º to the buried cable or pipe. Push the
Ground Rod into the ground 8 to 10 inches. Connect Black Test Cord to Ground Rod.
Plug Red/Black Test Cord into TX Output Jack. Press Frequency Button for 512 Hz, 8 kHz, 33 kHz or 82 kHz.
The Power Output Indicator and Frequency light of the chosen frequency will light up.
DO NOT CONNECT TO LIVE OR
ENERGIZED POWER CABLES

Inductive Connection
This method is convenient and services are not interrupted. No test cords or connections are needed. Cable or
pipe must have good insulation or non-conductive coating, otherwise operating range will be short.
Turn Transmitter ON. Press 82 kHz button. Place Transmitter on its side as close as possible to path of cable
or pipe. Align arrows on side of Transmitter with cable or pipe. First, locate broad Transmitter Null, then move
toward expected cable path while looking for signal carried by the cable.
Start tracing path with Receiver 25 feet from Transmitter. Locate cable or pipe and follow path. If signal becomes
weak, move Transmitter to a point 25 feet behind the last strong signal and continue searching.
