To conduct a one-step Sweep Search process or to provide a fast scan
for large work areas, the locator can be used in Auto mode. To obtain
an improved definition of a detected utility, use the locator in an indi-
vidual mode.

Using the Transmitter in Induction Mode
5.4.1
General Information
Induction is a quick and simple way to apply a signal to a utility without the
need to make any physical connection to it. The transmitter uses an internal
aerial to transmit the signal to the utility.

☞
Work at least 10 m/33 ft away from the transmitter to avoid airborne
signals. Reposition the Transmitter if necessary.
☞
Coupling efficiency is best at 33 kHz.
☞
The signal can also apply itself to other utilities within close proximity
to the transmitter, depending on their depth and direction.
☞
To increase the battery life and to reduce the possibility that the sig-
nal is applied to adjacent utilities, reduce the signal output.
☞
The Numeric Peak Indicator can be used to indicate multiple utilities
or to assist tracing. The utility with the maximum value is typically the
one closest to the transmitter or the one directly connected to.
1.
Turn on the transmitter.
☞
Ensure that any connection
cables or accessories are dis-
connected and the battery
level is adequate.
