Determine The Source Of Signal - Pipehorn Series 800-H User Manual

Set Proper Sensitivity & Scan the Area
Adjust the sensitivity knob to get a solid, non-beeping tone from
the Receiver. Scan to the left or right to find the stronger signal.
The higher pitch sound indicates you are getting closer to the
conductor, a lower pitch sound indicates you are moving away
from a conductor. If the sound starts beeping, lower the sensitiv-
ity and continue scanning.
Pinpoint the Conductor
When scanning and the sound peaks, or changes from LOW to
HIGH to LOW pitch, then you have come across the conductor.
Be sure the tone dies off evenly on both sides of the peak (letting
you know you have a balanced signal). The peak, or highest
pitch, indicates when the antenna is directly over the conductor
as described on page 11.
Determine Source of Signal
After pinpointing, raise the receiver antenna and point it at the
Transmitter. If the signal does not get significantly weaker, then
the signal is coming through the air from the Transmitter more so
than from the conductor. There may be no conductor or you
may be too close to the Transmitter. Move farther away from the
Transmitter, pinpoint again, and re-check as shown below.
