8.4 Using the SD Signal with the Remote Antenna to help trace a particular cable
The Remote Antenna is also capable of detecting SD signals. SD is described earlier in section 4.11.
Method:
1. Apply the signal using the direct connection method. Remember to isolate the cable beforehand as below. It is also prefera-
ble to use the ground stake as an independent ground. Using the station ground may result in multiple signals as the signal
will return along commonly bonded cables.
2. Select an SD signal from the transmitter (either SD-USA or SD-EUR).
3. Connect the remote antenna accessory to the locator and place it on the red lead of the transmitter with the arrow pointing
away from the transmitter and with the ats of the antenna along the line of the cable.
4. Select the frequency using the “f” button so that it matches the selection on the transmitter. The screen should look similar
to the picture below.
SD-EUR95dB
5. If necessary adjust the sensitivity so that the bar graph is on scale. Note that the green arrow is pointing forwards, this in-
dicates that the signal is owing forward. If the arrow was red and pointing backwards as below, it will be necessary to per-
form an SD reset before proceeding. However, if in doubt always perform the reset to be sure the antenna and receiver are
synchronized.
