mend pushing the Earth pin
into the ground at an angle of
45 degrees.
☞
For best performance, position
the Earth pin and black cable
at 90 degrees to the suspec-
ted direction of the utility.

3.
Connect the red cable to the utility.
☞
Never connect the red cable
directly to an electrical cable!
☞
Connecting the red cable to
the metal framework of earth-
bonded electrical installations
such as street lights, pumps or
motorised gate housings,
improves the detectability of
low-loaded electrical cables.
For best performance, connect
to bare metal.
