B. Dyna-Coupler Method
m WARNING
This WARNING applies to the following 3M Dyna-Couplers;
• 3" (75 mm) - Part number 3001
• 4.5" (114 mm) - Part number 4001
• 6" (150 mm) - Part number 1196
• All accessory kits containing any of the listed Dyna-Couplers - Part numbers 3019, 4519,
1196/C
A potential for electrical shock exists when using the Dyna-Coupler on cables energized with
electrical power. Use appropriate safety procedures.
DO NOT USE ON CABLES CARRYING IN EXCESS OF 600 VOLTS RMS.
Use a ground extension cable,
or wire, and ground rod set-up
between a target pipe/cable and
a gas meter valve/box, or cable/
electrical meter box. This will
isolate the locate signal to the
target pipe/cable section below
the meter/box, between the
grounding points. This provides a
good return path for the tracing
signal. Insulating coupling above
a gas meter valve on a pipe will
isolate the returning signal from
ground and may make locating
more difficult.
1. ConnecttheDyna-CouplertothetransmitterOutput Jack[T-6]usingthecoupler
cable(9011).
2. ClamptheDyna-Coupleraroundthecableorpipe,belowanybonds,justbeforeit
