NaviTrack™ Line Transmitter
Direct connect the other clamp lead to the line.
WARNING To increase safety it is recommended that
the ground lead be attached first. If there was any high
voltage running through the target line then providing a
ground would allow a means of redirecting this current
away from the transmitter and operator. These are universal
leads so either may be used for the ground.
2. Select a frequency on the line transmitter by
pressing the appropriate frequency key.
There are 5 frequencies to choose from.
• 512Hz
• 8 kHz
• 33kHz
• 51kHz
• 200 kHz
3. To start tracing, match the NaviTrack receiver's
frequency with those on the line transmitter. (See
the NaviTrack receiver frequency menu.)
Useful Operating Points
• Make sure that the connection to the line is good.
Scrape away paint and corrosion before connecting.
• Moist ground is a better conductor than dry soil so
wet the area if necessary.
• To improve the circuit, try changing the ground or the
connection to the line. A good circuit is one that allows
enough current to flow so that the locator gets a solid
signal.
