5.1.7 Finding metallic tap water- and heating pipe
ATTENTION:
-
The pipeline must be made of metallic materials (for example, piping made of galvanized steel).
-
The pipeline must not be grounded. There should be a relatively high resistance between pipe
and floor (otherwise the search distance is very small).
-
Use a connection cable to connect the grounding socket on the transmitter with the ground and
ground the end of the grounding cable properly.
-
Use a connection lead to connect the socket "+" on the transmitter to the pipeline.
The tracing of the installed tap water pipe and the heating pipe is shown in the following figures
-
The end of the grounding cable of the transmitter should be located at a certain distance to the
tracked pipeline. If the distance is too short, the signals and the circuit cannot be accurately
located.
-
The stronger the signals are displayed on the display of the locator during the tracking of the
pipeline, the closer the tracked pipeline is to the locator.
-
Set the transmission power in order to adapt it to different search radii.
-
The target position can be located accurately by using the manual mode and adjusting the
sensitivity.
