Generator/ Transmitter:
Induction
This is the standard method for inducing signals onto
buried metallic services. It produces a strong signal
directly below the Generator/ Transmitter but the
signal strength drops off quite quickly either side
of the Generator/ Transmitter.
1. Check that there are no accessories plugged into
the Connection Socket. The Generator/ Transmitter
switches automatically to Induction Mode when the
socket is unused.
2. Place the Generator/ Transmitter UPRIGHT on the
ground where you suspect services may be buried and
IN LINE with the expected route of these services.
3. Turn the Generator/ Transmitter on
(
and with the MXT2
Transmitter select either CF or 8kHz
)
then check that the
batteries are OK.
4. The signal will be radiated into the ground immediately
below and for approximately 3 metres either side of the
Generator/ Transmitter.
NOTE
The closer the Generator/ Transmitter is to the position of the buried service then the
stronger the signal will be on that service.
NOTE
MXT2 Transmitter only: Normally the CF signal is more effective on Induction Mode,
particularly on short length or small diameter services.
NOTE
MXT2 Transmitter only: It is not possible to apply a 640/512Hz signal by Induction Mode.
