Signal Generator:
Induction
This is the standard method for inducing signals onto buried metallic
services. It produces a strong signal directly below the Signal
Generator but the signal strength drops off quite quickly either side
of the Signal Generator.
1. Check that there are no accessories plugged into the Connection
Socket. The Signal Generator switches automatically to Induction
Mode when the socket is clear.
2. Place the Signal Generator UPRIGHT on the ground where you
suspect there may be some services buried. Make sure the Signal
Generator is IN LINE with the expected route of these services.
3. Turn the Signal Generator on and check that the batteries are OK.
4. The signal will be radiated into the ground immediately below and
for approximately 3 metres either side of the
Signal Generator.
NOTE The closer the Signal Generator is to the position of the buried service then the stronger the signal will be
on that service.
