Transmitter clamp
An optional signal clamp can be placed around an insulated live wire or pipe up to
8.5" / 215mm in diameter to transfer the transmitter signal to the utility. This method
of applying the transmitter signal is particularly useful on insulated live wires and
removes the need to disconnect the supply to the cable.
WARNING! Do not clamp around uninsulated live conductors.
WARNING! Before applying or removing the clamp around a power cable
ensure that the clamp is connected to the transmitter at all times.
Locating with passive frequencies
Passive frequency detection takes advantage of signals that are already present on
buried metallic conductors. The ACCUPOINT supports Power Mode. You can detect
these signals without the aid of the transmitter.
Power filters
ACCUPOINT locators allows operators to take advantage of the harmonic signals
found on power networks. Once in Power Mode, press the key to switch out of
CUES’s sensitive Power Mode and scroll through five individual Power Filters. This
enables operators to establish if a single large power signal comes from one source
or from the presence of multiple cables. The different harmonic characteristics of the
detected lines can then be used to trace and mark their route.
Additionally the use of an individual harmonic can allow you to locate power lines in
situations where the total signal would otherwise be too large.
Locate modes
The ACCUPOINT offers 2 locate modes, each of which is designed for specific uses,
depending on what task is being carried out.
To scroll between locate modes, press the key.
PEAK+: Choose to combine the accuracy of the Peak bargraph with Null
arrows, which can indicate the presence of distortion, or with proportional
Guidance arrows for rapid line tracing – switch between them by holding the key.
GUIDANCE: Proportional arrows and a ballistic ‘needle’ combine with audio
left / right indication for rapidly tracing the general path of a buried utility.
