Direct connection
• Use the minimum output power needed to successfully locate the target line
•
Excess power may increase the risk of coupling to other lines
•
Using excess power can make locating more difficult, and increases the risk of mis-locating
•
More power reduces battery life
•
The transmitter display will confirm how much current is being applied to the line indicating a good or
bad connection
•
A change in speaker tone also confirms a good or bad connection
•
If the display shows no current or there is no change of speaker tone check the connection to the
target line
