Locator Operating Modes: Generator/ Transmitter Mode

In Generator/ Transmitter Mode the Locator detects conductors

radiating a signal applied by the Generator/ Transmitter.

The Generator/ Transmitter provides a means of applying a known

signal to buried metallic services which can then be detected using

the Locator.

By detecting this signal it is possible to locate, trace and identify the

pipes or cables that may be carrying it.

There are TWO basic methods by which the Transmitter/ Generator

signal can be applied to buried services:

Direct Connection - The Generator/ Transmitter is attached

directly to the service using either the Direct Connection Leads

or one of the accessories available for use with the Generator/

Transmitter such as the Signal Clamp or Signal Injector. A 33kHz,

8kHz or 640/512Hz frequency signal is then applied to the service

(640/512Hz via connection leads only). 8kHz and 640/512Hz are only

available on the MXL/ MXT.

Induction - The Generator/ Transmitter can induce a signal onto a

buried metallic service remotely from the surface without the need

to physically connect to that service. A 33kHz or 8kHz (MXT

Transmitter only) signal is used.

Limitations of Generator Mode/ Transmitter Mode are covered in

‘Using the Generator/ Transmitter’ section of this manual along

with guidance on which frequency to use (MXT Transmitter only).

WARNING Locators can only detect services radiating a detectable electromagnetic signal.

There may be some services that do not radiate these signals and cannot be located.
