Locating Push Camera Cable Quick Guide

8.  Hold the locator vertically and rotate it on its axis until the compass indicates Forward/Back and is filled in blue color, as in the 

above illustration. 

9.  Adjust the sensitivity control, using the "+" and "-" keys, so that the bar graph is at approximately 50%.  

10. Keeping the vLoc3-Cam vertical, move to the side slightly. If the bar graph increases, you are moving toward the pushrod cable. 

If it decreases, you are moving away from it.  

 

                       Make the compass indicator in line and leave it blue. 

 

11. Move toward the pushrod cable until a maximum  "Peak"  signal is obtained.  It may be necessary to reduce or increase the 

sensitivity to keep the bar graph on the scale. This is normal and should be expected. Try to keep the vLoc3-Cam vertical and 

avoid swinging it as swinging may create false readings. 

12. Move the locator side to side to ensure a maximum signal is detected. Use the peak level indicator to assist. 

 

 

13. With the maximum signal found and the compass running Forward/Back, the vLoc3-Cam is now directly over the pushrod cable 

and exactly across it.  

14. The depth is also displayed in the box at the top left of the screen unless a weak signal is detected. The depth is only accurate if 

the locator is directly above and in line with the pushrdo cable.
