the system automatically switches to the peak mode.
The depth measurement unit can be selected by
metric or imperial from the menu.
Metric Units: cm when the depth of the pipeline is less
than 1 meter.
When the depth is more than 1 meter, the depth
display unit is m.
Inch unit: feet.
Current unit: When the current is more than 1A, the
display current unit is A, when the current is less than 1A,
the display current unit is mA.
Note:

V. Check before use
Please check all the parts before using the locator and transmitter to ensure that the
battery is sufficient and instruments are working well. In case there are any following
conditions, please solve them before use.
1 Locator check
1) Battery power check: press the power button to check the battery power. If the
battery is fully charged, the battery symbol in the display will show all the five lines;
when the battery symbol has only one line, the battery symbol will flash indicating
that the battery is low and it needs to be fully charged.
Full battery Almost run out and please recharge
2) Operating frequency check: press the frequency key to select50Hz and adjust the sensitivity. Point
the locator to the fluorescent lamp 1 meter away and turn on the fluorescent lamp. A signal
soundwill be heard, and the monitor will display strong signal too.
3)Inductive method check: find a place without any interference and put the transmitter on the
ground. Turn on the transmitter and select the output power percentage and frequency. Then point
the receiver (about 5 meters away from the transmitter) to the transmitter and keep the same
frequency as the transmitter. When the sensitivity is adjusted to be large enough, the receiver should
have a signal response.
4) Clamp method: When the external clamp is inserted into the transmitter output interface, press
the button ON, the transmitter will select the frequency as33KHzautomatically. Put the clamp on the
target pipeline and adjust the transmitter power. Turn on the receiver and select the frequency as

33KHz. The receiver should have a signal response along the pipeline.
Note: For the Inductive method, you can only choose 65KHz and 83KHz frequency. Without the
direct signal output or clamp inserted, the instrument will select the inductive mode automatically.
In the inductive mode, only 65KHz and 83KHz are available; In the clamp method, you can only
choose 33KHz. When the clamp accesses the transmitter, the instrument will select the frequency
as33KHz automatically.

2Transmitter check:
To check the battery power: turn on the transmitter and observe the monitor battery power
indicator light; if the battery voltage indicator is less than 11V, you need to fully charge the
battery before use.
3. Depth function check:
Select an area without any metal structure and other lines being detected, place an insulated
cable or wire longer than 20 meters on the ground, connect it to the ground bar or directly
to the ground. Connect the other end to the red wire (black wire to the ground) and insert
the output cable into the transmitter's output jack. Turn on the transmitter, adjust the output
signal, then put the receiver on the long wire with a known height to measure the depth. The
receiver is placed vertically above the middle position of long wire, that is to say, 10 meters
away from the transmitter. The depth is measured at different heights and the results are
compared to the known heights to calibrate the depth. (Note: if there is a metal object nearby,
it will affect the accuracy).
VI. Ways of Pipe locating:
1. Applying signal
Underground pipeline detector field source has two kinds: passive and active source. The
passive mode is used to search for an unknown power cable or an underground pipe to

which a cathodic protection signal is applied and a metal line that is capable of sensing a
radio frequency in a zone. The active mode of operation is used to track and locate the
pipeline signals in the area.
1) Passive mode
Passive mode: The transmitter is not needed for this mode. It can search for the power cable in an
unknown area. Turn on the receiver, select the receiver operating frequency as50Hz, adjust the gain
to get a suitable reading and select the maximum or minimum method to grid search in a region
back and forth search. Carry the receiver to walk steadily, so that the fuselage surface is aligned with
the direction of movement and try to make it stay into the right angle instead of in the arc swing
because it will produce some misleading signals. When the receiver responds with an abnormality,
stop immediately and precisely position the pipeline and mark it. Traces and marks are also required
for a pipeline that reaches out of the search area.
1.2 The passive cathodic protection current (CPS) signal method: It does not require a
transmitter to operate. It can search for the underground metal pipe when applying the external
current cathodic protection within an unknown area. Turn on the receiver, select the receiver
operating frequency CPS and use the same method as 1.1.
1.3 Radio frequency detection mode: It is mainly used to detect the metal pipeline that is
sensitive to the radio frequency.
2) Active mode
The active source operates by applying a signal of the specific frequency from the transmitter
to the pipeline, and then positioning and tracking the pipeline with the receiver. Using the active
mode can not only locate the pipeline accurately, track the pipeline and measure the depth, but also
detect the coating damage points on the underground pipeline accurately and determine the size of
the damage point of the coating.
