Description
Auto mode
Combined detection of Power and Radio modes.
☞
This mode facilitates a one-step sweep
search process.
Power mode
This mode is used to detect electrical cables.
☞
Power mode is dependent on an electrical
current flowing through a cable. Keep in
mind that not all electrical cables carry a
detectable signal and thus pose a serious
risk, for example supplies to unilluminated
street lights, unoccupied buildings or bal-
anced three-phase cables.
Radio mode
This mode is used to detect metallic pipes or cables,
including telecoms and electrical.
☞
Radio mode is dependent on reradiated
radio waves originating from radio masts.
Keep in mind that signal availability can
vary or be restricted depending on factors
including line of site, signal application or
routine mast maintenance.
