Direct Connection Mode 

A  connection  lead  set  is  supplied  with  the  Loc-5STx  transmitter.  The  connection  lead  is  used  to  make  an 
electrical connection to a cable or pipe that is to be traced. One of the leads is connected to the line and the 
other to a ground point that is nearby or by inserting the ground rod supplied with the equipment into the ground 
and connecting to that. 

 

A  good  connection  is  indicated  by  a  change  in  beep  rate  from  the  speaker  and  the  current  reading  on  the 
display. 

 

More information can be found in section 1.3.2.

Clamp Mode 

The  signal  clamp  is  an  optional  accessory.  There  are  three  different  sizes  2in 

(50mm)

,  4in 

(100mm)

,  5in 

(125mm).

 

 

The  clamp  is  generally  used  to  apply  the  signal  tone  to  a  live  cable  or  telecom  cable  where  an  electrical 
connection is not possible because of safety or access issues. 

 

Please refer to section 1.3.3 for further information.
