6 OPERATION 

 

Follow the Checkout Procedure described in Section 5 before operating the equipment.  To 
operate the 810Dx Utility Line Locator use the Transmitter to apply the signal to the utility, and 
use the Receiver to trace the signal from the utility. 
 

WARNING 

Never make a direct connection to a live power cable

.  Always test the cable first and make 

sure the power cable has been taken out of service, is fully discharged and grounded before you 
make a direct connection to it.  If you use the MetroClamp on energized electrical or control lines, 
follow appropriate safety procedures to avoid the risk of injury.
