General Safety & Care Information
1.6 Care When Interpreting the Information Provided by the Locator
Like all locators – this instrument is locating, and providing depth and current readings based on
•
electromagnetic signals that radiate from the buried cable or pipe. In most cases these signals will enable
the locator to pinpoint both position depth and current correctly.
BEWARE – in some cases other factors will distort electromagnetic fields radiating from cable or pipe
•
being located, resulting in incorrect information.
Always locate responsibly, and use information learned during your training to interpret the information
•
provided by the locator.
Do NOT provide information regarding depth of cable or pipe to anyone unless authorized to do so by
•
your company.
REMEMBER that depth measurements are to the center of the electromagnetic field or pipe – In the case
•
of pipes this may be significantly deeper than the top of the pipe.
