Care When Interpreting the Information Provided by the
Locator
• Like all locators – this instrument is locating, and providing depth and current readings
based on electromagnetic signals that radiate from the buried cable or pipe. In most cases
these signals will enable the locator to pinpoint both position depth and current correctly.
• BEWARE – in some cases other factors will distort electromagnetic fields radiating from cable
or pipe being located, resulting in incorrect information.
• Always locate responsibly, and use information learned during your training to interpret
the information provided by the locator.
• Do NOT provide information regarding depth of cable or pipe to anyone unless authorized to
do so by your company.
• REMEMBER that depth measurements are to the center of the electromagnetic field or pipe –
In the case of pipes this may be significantly deeper than the top of the pipe.
