Introduction

 

 

The

 

GA

72Cd

 

Magnetic

 

Locator

 

detects

 

the

 

magnetic

 

field

 

of

 

ferromagnetic

 

objects.

  

It

 

responds

 

to

 

the

 

difference

 

in

 

the

 

magnetic

 

field

 

between

 

two

 

sensors

 

that

 

are

 

spaced

 

approximately

 

14

 

inches

 

apart.

  

This

 

difference

 

is

 

referred

 

to

 

as

 

the

 

“signal

 

strength”

 

throughout

 

this

 

manual

 

and

 

is

 

represented

 

in

 

the

 

instrument

 

by

 

an

 

audio

 

tone

 

and

 

visual

 

indication

 

of

 

both

 

signal

 

strength

 

and

 

polarity.

   

While

 

most

 

objects

 

can

 

be

 

located

 

using

 

either

 

the

 

audio

 

or

 

visual

 

indication,

 

simultaneous

 

use

 

of

 

both

 

will

 

help

 

you

 

pinpoint

 

a

 

target

 

and

 

determine

 

its

 

orientation.

 

 

Figure

 

1

 

illustrates

 

an

 

application

 

in

 

which

 

the

 

locator

 

is

 

used

 

to

 

detect

 

an

 

iron

 

marker

 

used

 

for

 

property

 

line

 

identification.

   

As

 

shown,

 

the

 

magnetic

 

field

 

of

 

the

 

iron

 

marker

 

is

 

stronger

 

at

 

Sensor

 

A

 

than

 

it

 

is

 

at

 

Sensor

 

B.

  

As

 

a

 

result,

 

the

 

frequency

 

of

 

the

 

audio

 

signal

 

is

 

higher

 

than

 

the

 

idling

 

frequency,

 

40

 

Hz,

 

which

 

exists

 

when

 

the

 

field

 

strength

 

is

 

the

 

same

 

at

 

both

 

sensors.

  

This

 

stronger

 

signal

 

also

 

causes

 

the

 

digital

 

indication

 

to

 

peak

 

in

 

either

 

the

 

positive

 

or

 

the

 

negative

 

direction

 

when

 

the

 

audio

 

signal

 

is

 

at

 

its

 

highest

 

frequency.

Detecting

 

Magnetic

 

Field

 

of

 

an

 

Iron

 

Marker

 

 

When

 

shipped,

 

the

 

locator

 

is

 

set

 

to

 

provide

 

an

 

audio

 

signal

 

that

 

is

 

heard

 

as

 

long

 

as

 

the

 

instrument

 

is

 

turned

 

on.

  

If

 

desired,

 

you

 

can

 

change

 

this

 

setting

 

to

 

an

 

audio

 

signal

 

that

 

is

 

heard

 

only

 

when

 

the

 

instrument

 

is

 

within

 

detection

 

range

 

of

 

an

 

object

 

(refer
