Place the locator over the estimated 
position of the sonde: 
1.  Refer to Figure 1. 

Move the locator backwards and 
forwards with the blade in-line with the 
sonde. Stop when the locator display 
indicates a clear peak response.

2.  Refer to Figure 2. 

Rotate the locator as if the blade were a 
pivot, stop when the display indicates a 
clear peak response.

3.  Refer to Figure 3. 

Move the locator from side to side 
until the display indicates a clear peak 
response.

4.  Repeat Steps 1 to 3 in smaller 

increments with the locator blade 
resting on or near the ground. The 
locator should now be directly above 
the sonde with the blade in line with the 
sonde. Now mark the position.

5.  Propel the sonde a further three to 

four paces along the drain or duct 
and pinpoint and mark. Repeat this 
procedure along the route at similar 
intervals. It should only be necessary 
to change the locator sensitivity while 
tracing the sonde if there is a change 
in the depth of the drain or duct, or the 
distance between locator and sonde.
