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.
