Signal Current Measurement (MXL Locator only)

To ensure reliable Signal Current readings it is vital to

adhere to the same best practises as are used to give

accurate Depth Measurement readings.

1. Only apply the signal by a Connection method

(Direct Connection, Signal Clamp or Signal Injector)

to the target service.

2. The Generator/ Transmitter must be set to Continuous

signal output, NOT Pulsed output.

3. Set the Locator to Transmitter Mode, select the correct

frequency and pinpoint the position of the buried service.

Make sure the Locator is directly over the buried service and

at right angles to it’s route. Rest the Locator on the ground

with the body vertical.

4. Press and hold down the Signal Current button.

The Signal Current reading will be shown on the display,

measured in mA.

Allow the Signal Current reading to stabilise.

NOTE The Signal Current figure alone does not provide any useful information. It is how this figure compares

to other Signal Current readings taken on other services or at different points along our target service that can

indicate the layout and identity of the network.
