Batteries Access Panel. No tone indicates that the batteries must 

be replaced. Unscrew fastener on the rear panel and replace with 4 

LR20 (D cells) batteries. Observe correct battery polarity as indicated 

on the top-panel label.
Arrows

The arrows on the top panel label indicate the required 

Transmitter alignment above the pipe or cable when using the 

Induction mode. The arrows and the pipe or cable  must be 

parallel. Alignment is not required when the T1 is in Active mode.

Note:

 Turn off the T1 and remove any connection cables before 

changing batteries.

Connection Cable

The red cable connects the T1 directly to the target cable or pipe. The 

black cable provides the ground return when clamped to a Ground 

Stake. The connection cable plugs and locks into the connection socket 

on the front panel of the T1. To unlock the cable, grip the black sleeve 

on the outside of the plug and ease off the connector. Do not pull the 

wire as this may damage the cable and/or socket.

Ground Stake

The Ground Stake, when connected to 

the black ground cable, provides a ground 

connection and return signal to the T1. 

Regularly check your SuperC.A.T and 
T1, in all modes over a cable which 
provides a response that you are 
familiar with.
