5. Walk in a straight line across the end line of the
Generator/ Transmitter. When a signal is detected
‘pinpoint’ that signal as shown in the ‘Using the Locator’
section. If no signal is found move the Generator/
Transmitter 5 metres and try again. Continue this
procedure moving the Generator/ Transmitter in five metre
steps, following a grid pattern, until a signal can be found.
6. It may be possible to increase the strength of the
induced signal on the buried service by improving the
positioning of the Generator/ Transmitter. Once the buried
service has been pinpointed, moving the position of the
Generator/ Transmitter from side to side will give an
increase or decrease in the Locator response. Remember,
the closer the Generator/ Transmitter is to the position of
the buried service then the stronger the signal will be on
that service.
NOTE The Generator/ Transmitter signal that the Locator is detecting will get weaker the further away
from the Generator/ Transmitter that you go. It will be necessary to regularly adjust (increase) the
sensitivity to compensate for this.
