1.6 Care When Interpreting the Information Provided by the

•
Like all locators – this instrument is locating, and providing depth and current
readings based on electromagnetic signals that radiate from the buried cable or
pipe. In most cases these signals will enable the locator to pinpoint both position
depth and current correctly.
• BEWARE – in some cases other factors will distort electromagnetic fields radiating
from cable or pipe being located, resulting in incorrect information.
•
Always locate responsibly, and use information learned during your training to
interpret the information provided by the locator.
•
Do NOT provide information regarding depth of cable or pipe to anyone unless
authorized to do so by your company.
•
REMEMBER that depth measurements are to the center of the electromagnetic
field or pipe – In the case of pipes this may be significantly deeper than the top of
the pipe.
