Using the Generator/ Transmitter:
Direct Connection
The Direct Connection Leads and Earth Stake that are
supplied with the Generator/ Transmitter are used to apply
a signal to any metal pipe at a suitable access point such
as a valve, hydrant point, stop cock or exposed pipe length.
1. Plug the Direct Connection Leads into the Generator/
Transmitter connection socket.
2. Attach the red lead to the pipe at your point of access
using the Crocodile Clip. Ensure that you have a secure
and clean grip on the pipe with the Crocodile Clip.
3. Turn the Generator/ Transmitter on and set Output
Power Level to the lowest level.
(
MXT2 Transmitter only: Select the frequency to be used;
CF, 8kHz or 640/512Hz
).
4. Place the Earth Stake in the ground
(
having first
searched the area for buried cables with the Locator
)
.
The ideal position for the Earth Stake is at right angles to
the assumed line of the pipe and the full length of the
Direct Connection Leads away from the pipe access point.
WARNING
Never connect directly to electrical services.
WARNING
You may need to seek permission from the service owners before connecting on to some buried services.
NOTE
The type of metal that the pipe is constructed from or it’s use will have little effect on its traceability.
NOTE
If it is not possible to get the Crocodile Clip to grip the pipe then use the Magnet supplied.
NOTE
MXT2 Transmitter only: When turning on, the Transmitter will return to the last Output Power, Frequency,
Pulsed/Continuous and Loud/Mute settings that were used.
