RADIO LICENSING - EUROPE
In European countries, it may be necessary to obtain a radio licence from the relevant National Radio
Licensing Authority before operating the e-Safe. This provision is seen by some National Radio Licensing
Authorities as a consequence of allowing higher power levels than in for example the USA and restricting
use to trained competent professionals. The requirements of radio licensing regimes for GPR are
defined in CEPT ECC Decision ECC/DEC/ (06)08 and require the user to keep a Log of GPR Use.
CODE OF PRACTICE FOR USERS
The radio regulatory regime is based upon the users observing appropriate operating procedures as
defined in:
ETSI EG 202 730 V1.1.1 (2009-09)
Electromagnetic compatibility and radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Code of Practice in respect of the
control, use and application of Ground probing radar (GPR) and Wall probing radar (WPR) systems and
equipment. This supersedes the earlier guidance given in
ETSI
Technical Report, TR 102 554.
Failure to operate in accordance with these requirements may void the entitlement of the user to
operate the equipment. An important element of the radio licensing regime and Code of Practice is that
use is restricted to trained competent professionals.
EUROPEAN GPR ASSOCIATION
To be kept aware of licensing developments e-Safe Users are strongly advised to become members of
the European GPR Association (EuroGPR), the industry trade association which represents GPR users
in negotiations with radio licensing bodies.

INTRODUCTION
e-Safe is not just another Cable Avoidance Tool; it is an advanced All Service Avoidance Tool.
By utilising Ground Probing/Penetrating Radar (GPR) as its underlying technology e-Safe is capable of
detecting the likely presence of utility services made from a wide range of materials including those
that are non-conductive and/or non-metallic. In addition: Services are not required to be carrying
“Live” power, an AC current or, emanating a discernible electromagnetic field, in order to be detectable.
Due to its unique design and easy user interface: e-Safe does not require an operator to have extensive
knowledge of or, prior training in GPR techniques, in order for it to be used effectively as a pre-
excavation safety tool, for the purpose of service avoidance. In order to maintain safety standards and
ensure maximum benefit is achieved however; we strongly recommend all operators seek training
appropriate to their use. Please Note. In some countries, trades or professions training may be a
mandatory requirement prior to first use.
e-Safe should; in most ground conditions where utility services are found in number, achieve an
approximate depth penetration of 1.5 metres however; as with all GPR systems, the depth achieved
will constantly vary according to the subsurface conditions prevailing at the time of use. The e-Safe
captures signals reflected within fixed time intervals, but the speed of the signal varies with ground
conditions and as a consequence the depth searched alters. In exceptionally good conditions therefore
the depth achieved may exceed 2m. Consequently, in exceptionally poor conditions the depth achieved
may be less than 0.5 metres.
In a typical street environment: Pipes, cables or other linear features are often found to run in line with,
or directly across the line of the street. Detection success may therefore often be improved by ensuring
e-Safe is deployed at right angles to the perceived path within that environment. Where the path of a
service is completely unknown: It is strongly recommended e-Safe is deployed in a variety of
orientations in order to maximise the likelihood of detection.
Please Note.
e-Safe has been designed as a service avoidance tool for use prior to manual excavation works. It
has not been designed for the large area mapping of utilities. You are respectfully advised to contact
your local PipeHawk supplier for information on alternative products designed for the purpose.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
GPR SYSTEM
The e-Safe operates by introducing a fast rise-time electromagnetic pulse into the ground. The pulse
is scattered by changes in the electrical properties of the ground. The presence of metal generates a
major change in electrical properties but the system is sensitive to other changes such as the presence
of plastic, water, or air. The scattering produced by changes in ground conditions returns a small
fraction of the energy back to the system.
Figure 2.1 shows a general schematic of the radar part of the system, with a pulse generator acting as
a transmitter, feeding a signal to the antenna to be introduced into the ground. The signal returned is
then received by the antenna, where it is passed to the digital signal processing hardware for
manipulation into a unique format for display.
The transmitter, antenna elements, and sampling receiver are all found in the white plastic moulding
typically described as the antenna.
The yellow case houses the main GPR electronics, the battery, and the wheel sensor.
The main data processing unit, human interface, operating software and graphics processor are all
housed within the white display console attached to the handle.
For ease of servicing and maintenance; the antenna and display console are connected to the main
yellow body via multi-cored connectors and cables. In normal use, these do not need to be disturbed.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The main requirements for the care of e-Safe are: -
i. The system should be kept clean.
ii. The antenna should be fitted with a wear membrane that is complete and free from holes or
other excess wear.
iii. A suitably charged battery should be employed.
All other work should be referred to PipeHawk or their nearest authorised supplier.
To maintain performance and reduce likelihood of failure: PipeHawk recommends the system is serviced
and calibrated periodically, dependent upon use and at intervals not greater than every twelve months
of regular use or six months of heavy use.
Caution when cleaning the system
The minimum amount of water and/or household detergents shall be used
and pressure MUST be avoided. Other cleaning agents may damage the
powder or plastic finishes and should not be used
Failure to do so may damage the system and invalidate any warranty or
guarantee provided

PREPARING FOR USE
GENERAL
The
e-Safe
is supplied fully built and ready for use. No operator assembly is required.
To ensure your new system provides you with long and reliable service; please observe the following
guidelines.
1. Ensure the Sacrificial wear membrane is correctly fitted to the antenna and in good condition.
2. Ensure the battery is in good condition, fully charged and is locked into place.
2. Ensure the handle is raised, locked and adjusted to a comfortable height before use.
3. Ensure the display console has been adjusted to an appropriate angle.
SACRIFICIAL WEAR MEMBRANE
The e-Safe uses a ground contact antenna which; as the name implies, rests upon the ground. This is
fitted with a non-static inducing sacrificial wear membrane, to prevent wear to the underside of the
antenna as the system is pushed along. Under NO circumstances should the system be operated without
a wear membrane in place. To do so may cause irreparable damage to the antenna housing.
To fit a new sacrificial wear membrane; simply
remove the screws holding the existing (worn)
membrane in place. Replace with new
membrane ensuring screws are tightened by
hand only. DO NO OVERTIGHTEN
Check membrane daily for wear
If any part of the membrane is worn through
It must be replaced immediately.

BATTERIES & CHARGING
The e-Safe is supplied with one or more battery packs depending on your requirements. Please ensure
these are charged fully before first use. Failure to do so may considerably shorten the life of the battery
packs supplied.
The battery pack will only slot into the system body or charging pod one way round and is retained in
position by pushing the locking pin down. Push the locking pin again to release the lock and enable
withdraw of the battery pack.
The e-Safe is supplied complete with a charging pod and power adaptor specifically designed to suit
the battery pack provided. DO NOT USE any other adaptor or charging system. To do so could not only
damage the battery pack but may also result in fire, explosion, injury or loss of life.
Fitting/Removing the Battery
Ensure the Power switch on the main chassis is
in the OFF position.
With the battery connectors facing downward:
Insert the tab on the battery casing, into the
receiving slot in the battery compartment
Lower the battery lock into position and push
the pin down to secure.
Reverse 2 & 3 above to remove battery for re-
charging or storage.
