Place the A-frame in the earth parallel along the path of the cable.
The Receiver will display an arrow on the LCD.
Arrow will point towards the red or blue indicator.
The A-frame legs will be marked with a red or blue decal.
Follow the direction the
Receiver is showing (Example – if the LCD is pointing towards
the red indicator and the red leg of the A-frame is pointing towards the front – walk
forward.)
Walk in this direction placing the A-frame in the earth every five to ten feet.
Note: If LCD does not display arrow or signal strength A-frame is not reading signal.
The A-frame may not be making contact with earth or signal is too weak due the distance
from the fault point or cable path. Continue walking the cable path. When the A-frame
begins to read signal the arrows and numbers will be displayed again.
When the arrow changes directions the operator has passed the fault.
