The Signal - Pipehorn Series 800-H User Manual

THE SIGNAL

At any given distance, say 2 feet, at any direction from the con-
ductor, the strength of the signal is the same under most condi-
tions. This allows the Receiver to pinpoint directly over the con-
ductor, as shown below, because that is the area with the peak
(strongest) signal reading.
While locating always hold the Receiver vertically, and in the
direction of the pipe (in-line with the handle). Swinging the Re-
ceiver as you scan may lead you to interpret the signal incor-
rectly.
Under ideal situations you will receive a balanced signal, as
shown above. However, in some cases an un-balanced signal
will occur, usually due to interference from another conductor, as
shown below.
