Using The Generator/ Transmitter Output Power - C-SCOPE L2 Series Instruction Manual

Using the Generator/ Transmitter:
Output Power Level
The SGV2 Generator and the MXT2 Transmitter have four, selectable output
power levels. The SGA2 Generator has two selectable output power levels.
For long distance tracing or for detecting deep services it is always best to
use the highest power setting of the Generator/ Transmitter. Please note
that higher power settings will drain the batteries more quickly than lower
power settings.
For tracing work close to the signal application point, especially when using
Induction Mode, the lower power settings are better.
NOTE When using accessories such as Signal Clamps, Signal Injectors and Plastic Pipe Tracers it is normally
best to use the highest power setting.
Pulsed/ Continuous Output
For most locating work a Continuous signal output is best and MUST
be used for any Depth or Signal Current Measurements.
A Pulsed signal output can be useful when it has become difficult
to distinguish the Generator/ Transmitter signal from unwanted
interference, for example, when tracing services over long distances
or at greater depths.
NOTE The 640/512Hz signal can only be applied as a Continuous signal and by using the Direct Connection Leads
(MXT2 Transmitter only).
