Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new RYCOM Cable, Pipe and Fault Locator. The
8878 Series is specially designed to detect buried power cables, CATV cables, gas and water
pipes, sewer lines, telephone cables, fiber optic cables with sheath.
Warning
The 8878 is designed to detect the electromagnetic field emitted from buried metallic
utilities. There are buried cables, pipes, and utilities this instrument cannot detect.
LOCATING is not an exact science. The only way to be sure of the existence, location
or depth of buried utilities is to expose the utility.
DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
RYCOM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO DISTRIBUTOR, RESELLER, OR ANY OTHER PER-
SON FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, OR INJURY OF ANY TYPE WHATSOEVER, AND CAUSED DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY BY PRODUCTS SOLD OR SUPPLIED BY RYCOM INSTRUMENTS, INC..
The T
RANSMITTER applies a tracing signal onto a cable or pipe. The RECEIVER detects the trac-
ing signal. You can locate the relative position of the buried pipe or cable by following the trac-
ing signal.
