Pre-locate safety scan
• Pick up your u-LOCATE receiver and hold it so that the trigger is depressed to turn the unit on.
• Select the “Lightning bolt” mode by pressing the
“F” key
until that mode is selected.
• Using the “Lightning bolt” mode, scan the area of interest to determine if there are any utilities
already carrying signal. Note these lines for reference.
For Direct Connect
• Open transmitter tray by unclipping yellow clasps, and remove direct connect leads and
ground stake. Plug the direct connect leads into your transmitter 3-pin connector on the side.
• Connect red lead to your target utility, ensuring you have metal-to-metal contact from alligator
clip to conductor.
WARNING: Ensure that what you are connecting to is not live. If it is, you may use
the Live Cable Connector, available as an optional accessory to your u-LOCATE kit.
• Push the ground rod into an area of soil 5-10 feet away and connect the black lead to it,
ensuring metal-to-metal contact.
