5.3 Locating a line
With the line energised:
1. Switch on the receiver.
2. Choose the following settings:
− location type: Line
−
signal behaviour: Maximum narrow, Maximum wide or
Minimum
3. Hold the receiver vertically downwards.
4. Locate the line. Evaluate the response by the receiver.
Note:
When locating inductively energised lines, it is possible to mis-
takenlylocatethegenerator'sownmagneticeld.
●
When locating inductively energised lines, always keep the
receiver about 15 m away from the generator.
Response from the receiver when locating a line
Audio maximum directly above the line *
Field strength maximum directly above the line *
Gain readjust as required, possibly several times
Directional arrows change into a diamond directly above the
line *
Compass needles show the position of the line *
Depth in the case of measuring the depth manu-
ally: value appears as soon as the receiver
is located directly above the line *
Current current running along the line * is greater
than the current on a neighbouring line
onto which the current signal has "jumped"
* i.e.: the line to be located
