C-SCOPE MXL4 User Manual

5. Walk in a straight line across the end line of the Signal
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 Signal Generator/Transmitter 5 m (16’)
and try again. Continue this procedure moving the Signal
Generator/Transmitter in 5 m (16’) 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 Signal
Generator/Transmitter. Once the buried service has been pinpointed,
moving the position of the Signal Generator/Transmitter from side
to side will give an increase or decrease in the Locator response.
Remember, the closer the Signal Generator/Transmitter is to
the position of the buried service then the stronger the signal
will be on that service.
NOTE The Signal Generator/Transmitter signal that the Locator is detecting will get weaker the further away from the Signal
Generator/Transmitter that you go. It will be necessary to regularly increase the sensitivity to compensate for this.
