Radiodetection RD2000 Super C.A.T+ User Manual page 8

Clip the ground cable to an independent grounding point a few
meters away from the transmitter and preferably perpendicular to
the probable route of the target cable or pipeline. Do not attach the
ground cable to water pipes or any buried line which could carry
the induced locate signal.
Start with the T1's lowest power setting. A pulsed loudspeaker tone
indicates a good connection. If there is no tonal change, check the
electrical contacts and the ground. If necessary, change the position of
the ground stake or pour water over the ground contact if placed in dry
soil or sand. If there is still no change in tone increase the power setting.
A receiver can detect a signal many times weaker than what is
Note:
necessary for a transmitter tone change and short distances can be
traced without pulse tone from the loudspeaker.
WARNING! Direct connection to power cable sheaths must be
performed by qualified personnel!
Signal Clamp (optional extra)
The Signal Clamp applies a signal to a pipe or a live cable without
interrupting the supply. It applies a very discriminating signal with
reduced coupling to other conductors.
WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock, the signal clamp
must be connected to the transmitter before being placed around
the pipe or cable.
