Active
There are three ways to place active signals on a target line with
a transmitter:
• Direct connection (preferred method) requires a connection
to be made directly onto target line.
• Induction requires placing an optional induction clamp
around target line.
• Broadcast method sends current into lines near the
transmitter.
Beacon
If equipped, trace non-metallic pipes or conduits by locating and
following a 29 kHz beacon signal.
Passive
Some utility lines emit detectable signals that are picked up from
the environment. These passive signals can be power signals or
radio signals.
