4.2.4  Determining the direction of a line 

How to proceed 

Follow the steps below to determine the orientation of a metallic conductor: 

Step

 

Action

 

If the direction of the conductor will be determined with the aid of the 

Easyloc Tx

 transmitter, couple the transmitter's signal onto the metallic 

conductor in such a way that there is as little signal loss as possible (see 

section 

4.1.2 Options for direct and inductive signal coupling

) and switch 

on the transmitter (see section 

4.1.3 Initial use of the transmitter

). 

Press 

 to switch on the receiver. 

Select the desired mode of operation (see section 

4.2.2.1 Modes of 

operation for the receiver

) by pressing the 

 button. 

The symbol for the currently selected mode of operation is shown in the 

lower right-hand corner of the display. 

Hold the receiver perpendicular to the position of a known metallic 

conductor, e.g. above a location which was marked during the probing of 

the site (see section 

4.2.3 General site surveying

). 

Rotate the receiver (through its own axis) over this location until the 

maximum signal strength is indicated (see section 

4.2.2.3 Handling the 

receiver

). 

Result:

 The receiver is in line with the conductor when it is positioned 

where the signal is strongest, which is prerequisite for determining the 

direction of the line.  

To determine the path over an extended distance, proceed by moving 

forward while maintaining the maximum signal strength. If the signal 

becomes weaker, check that the conductor has not changed direction or 

become deeper, move and/or rotate the receiver to the left and right until 

the maximum signal strength is detected again. 
The path of the metallic conductor should always be followed until it exits 

the site being searched, and its path should be clearly marked along the 

way with paint/chalk or marker flags. 
Adjust the sensitivity of the receiver as needed if the signal level is too 

strong / weak (see section 

4.2.2.2 Regulating the sensitivity level to match 

the reception signal strength

). It is advisable to manually adjust the 

sensitivity level.
