Introduction 

The ST LineFinder Transmitter is capable of 
detecting buried power cables, CATV cables, 
gas and water pipes, sewer lines, telephone 
cables, fiber optic cables with sheath. 

The transmitter emits a signal that is 
conducted by, or coupled to a conductor (the 
buried utiltity). A receiver (such as our ST 512+ 
Locator) detects the signal. You can locate the 
relative position of the buried conductor by 
following the tracing signal.
