Locating in Directional Peak Mode
The following are instructions for locating a buried pipe or cable using the
direct connect method and the directional peak (DirPk) mode.
Other methods of connection and tracing features are explained in previous
sections.
1. Insert the ground rod into the ground, perpendicular to the suspected
target path.
2. Remove the grounding from the near-end of the target cable/pipe.
Note: Never connect, or disconnect the transmitter when the unit is on.
3. Connect the red lead of the transmitter to the shield, neutral, or de-
energized target conductor.
4. Connect the black lead of the transmitter to the ground rod.
5. Perform a battery check by pressing and holding OFF [T-1].
6. Turn the power on the transmitter by pressing OHMS [T-2]. A solid
tone from the transmitter will indicate a complete circuit.
7. Press TRACE [T-3] to set the transmitter to Trace mode.
8. Select a frequency on the transmitter by pressing TRACE [T-3]. The
unit will cycle through the available frequencies (577, 8K, 33K, 200K,
and ALL).
