WARNING
Any operaon involving work on pipelines containing gases or liquids
under pressure is potenally hazardous. It is necessary, therefore, to
follow correct procedures in the use of this equipment to maintain a
safe working environment.
No person should use this equipment unless fully aware of potenal
hazards of working with pressurized pipelines and trained in the
procedures stated in this manual.
The purchaser of this equipment is responsible for the training
and competence of operators and the manner in which it is used.
Contact CDI immediately should any difficulty arise
in the use of this equipment.
WARNING
Always use cauon when opening any CDI transmier
that has been in a pressurized environment.
It is possible for pressurized liquid or gas to leak into a transmier
and remain there even aer the transmier has been removed from
the pipeline.
Always point the transmier away from yourself or others when
opening a cover or end cap.

CHECKLIST
Before placing a transmier into service, always ensure:
• Baeries are fresh and of proper size and type.
• Baery polarity is properly observed.
• Serviceable O-rings are installed. Brile and/or deformed
O-rings may not properly seal, thus compromising case integrity.
• Transmier case, caps, and cap threads and or cap screws are
clean and free of dents, ruptures, or other damage which could
compromise the transmier components.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Connecon and Communicaon
CDI transmiers, when supplied with fresh baeries of the proper size
and type, should automacally transmit an electromagnec signal unless
custom-programmed at the factory for Delay On behavior.
If your transmier fails to establish communicaon aer following all
baery installaon procedures, contact CDI at 1-800-580-4234 or
918-258-6068 for product support.
REMOVING TRANSMITTER FROM SERVICE
Remove baeries from transmier and carousel before storage.
WARNING:
Always remove baeries before placing the unit into storage.
Failure to do so may result in damage and may void warranty.

OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
This User Guide will instruct you in the funcon, capabilies, use, and
care of CDI T-Series 22 Hz (“Legacy”) pig-tracking transmiers.
OVERVIEW
Electromagnec pipeline pig locaon and tracking transmiers
CD42-Tx transmiers emit an electromagnec field at the industry-
standard 22 Hz, a frequency that is safe and reliable for use in any
onshore or offshore environment and any pipeline product (water, oil,
gas, ammonia, carbon dioxide, etc.).
This electromagnec field passes through not only a pipeline wall, but
through surrounding soil or water where it is received by a passage
detector, tracking, benchmarking, or locang device such as the CDI
CD52 Bandit, TRAXALL 720/770, or CD47-C Above Ground Marker.
Transmission PaƩerns
Most T-Series transmiers may be set for one of three electromagnec
transmission paerns:
• Standard Mode: transmier emits a connuous string of pulses,
one every 1.5 seconds.
• “Skip One” Mode: emits two pulses (one every 1.5 seconds)
followed by a skipped pulse, then two more. This paern helps
differenate one transmier from another in a train of mulple
pigs. Seng to Skip One mode also conserves baery life during
long runs.
• Constant-On Mode: emits a connuous magnec field without
pulsing. Constant On is useful when conducng benchmarking or
other operaons where a pulsing signal might be missed.

22 Hz ELECTROMAGNETIC TRANSMITTER USER GUIDE
Page 10 of 52
OVERVIEW
In addion to baery conservaon, deployment of differing transmier
paerns enables you to disnguish one pig from another when a run
involves mulple pigs in a train.
“Delay ON”
In addion to pulse paerns, CD42-Tx transmiers may be factory
programmed for an oponal delay of anywhere from 10 minutes to
several months before they transmit. This feature is useful for when
the pig is loaded into the launcher but may not actually be launched for
some days.
Pressure AcƟvaƟon
T1A, T1AHP, T1AVHP, and T4 transmiers may be ordered or retrofied
with an oponal Pressure Acvaon Switch (see pg. 39).
SWX modules may be set for Latching (transmier stays on once
acvaon pressure is reached) or Non-Latching (transmier ON state
follows pipeline pressure; i.e., will turn on or offdepending on pressure).
