Introduction
The Cable and pipe locator «Success AG-511N» is a search-diagnostic kit with extended
operating temperature range on the basis of a receiver with the LED display AP-014 and the small
self-powered «AG-105» tracer portable generator.
The locator is designed to survey areas of ground before digging, the search slopes of electric
cables and conductive underground utilities, determine the depth of their occurrence, searching
places of power cable damage
Application:
- Detection of cables and metal pipelines underground up to 6 m depth
- Measurement of the depth by passive “electromagnetic” method
- Distance of tracing from the place of transmitter connection is up to 3 km
- Survey the ground before the ground works ( BB mode)
-Tracing of the buried utility without direct connection to it.
The application field
- Housing and public utilities
- Electricity networks
- Heating systems
- Water utilities
- Organizations conducting earthworks, etc.

1.2 The principle of operation
The principle of operation of the Cable and pipe locator «Success AG-511N» is based on
phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. The electromagnetic «EМD-247» sensor records
variable electromagnetic field which is being produced around a cable under research of it or a
pipeline and converts an electromagnetic signal into a power signal. An electrical signal enters the
receiver, where it is passing amplification and filtering (the selection signal of the given frequency.
The location of the maximum of electromagnetic field intensity measured above the ground,
corresponds to the axis of the desired communication. The operator on the signal in the head
phones and the LED indicator determines the location of the alignment and possible defects of
communication.
