Congratulations on the purchase of your new RYCOM PATHFINDER PLS  Series Cable, Pipe & Fault 

Locator. The PATHFINDER PLS Locator is specially designed to detect conductors such as buried pipes 

& cables. This device may detect buried power cables, CATV cables, gas and water pipes, sewer 

lines, telecommunication lines, fiber optic cables with sheath, sondes, inspection camera transmitters. 

You have chosen a quality product that is designed for years of field use without the need for annual 

or periodic calibration and service.

The basic principle of the locator's operation is as follows:

The 

T

ransmiTTer

 emits a signal to a conductive cable or pipe. The 

r

eceiver

 detects the 

electromagnetic field that is generated by the transmitted signal. You can locate the relative 

position of the buried utility by following the tracing signal.

For safely & to help ensure the best locating results, please read & understand the manual in its 

entirety before using the product. 

RYCOM Instruments, INC shall not be liable to Distributor, Reseller, or any other person for any 

incidental, indirect, special, exemplary or consequential damages, or injury of any type whatsoever, 

and caused directly or indirectly by Products sold or supplied by RYCOM INSTRUMENTS, INC.

Failure to follow these warning could result in serious injury or death.

Only persons qualified and trained to operate cable & pipe locators may operate this equipment. 

Follow appropriate safety procedure, your companies policies and applicable safety codes and/or 

laws.
Do not connect to utilities, cables or pipes without authorization and training.
Use tool only for intended purpose as described in this manual
Do not expose tool to rain or moisture.
Do not expose to hazardous chemicals, hazardous gas or explosive environment.
SHOCK HAZARD - Lethal voltages may be present at the transmitter's output. Turn off transmitter before 

touching test lead or any un-insulated conductor. Make connection to ground and target conductor 

before turning on transmitter. 
SHOCK HAZARD - Do not connect to live voltage or active utility lines. De-energize any circuits in or 

around the work area.

This tool is designed to detect electromagnetic field emitted from cables and buried metallic utilities. 

There are buried cables, pipes, and utilities this instrument CANNOT detect.
LOCATING is not an exact science. The only certain way to be sure of the existence, location, or depth 

of buried utilities is to carefully expose (dig up) the utility.
