Ethos 4700 - Tracing Conductors Within the Soil (Single-Pole Application)

3.15 Tracing Conductors Within the soil (single-pole application)
The connection is realised in compliance with Figure 15.
Ensure that the current circuit is not live.
Make sure that the distance between the connection to the ground and the
conductor to be detected is high. If the distance is too close, no definite assignment
of the signal received can be made to one conductor.
The tracing depth amounts to maximum 2
meters. Furthermore, the tracing depth strongly
depends on the soil characteristics.
Set the receiver to automatic mode.
Now, search or trace the conductor by
means of the signal intensity displayed.
When circling the receiver slowly across the
conductor to be searched, the display values
change considerably. The display of the
maximum signal intensity is performed
directly via the conductor.
The signal intensity level decreases with increasing distance of the fed-in signal
(transmitter).
