Selecting the signal behaviour
On the generator it is possible to select between continuous sig-
nal and pulsed signal.
The generator is switched on. The display shows the main
view.
●
Press the pulse key to switch between continuous signal and
pulsed signal.
The symbol of the selected signal behaviour is displayed.

Energizing a pipeline directly
During direct energizing, the generator sends a signal by means
of cable to the pipeline to be located. The prerequisite is that
a connection can be made at at least one exposed part of the
pipeline.
The following options are available for direct energizing:
●
Connection via conductor loop
●
Connection with earthing spike
3.5.1
Connection via conductor loop
For connection via a conductor loop, two connection points are
required on the pipeline. The pipeline to be located must run be-
tween the two connection points.
