Signal Current Measurement (MXL2 Locator only)
To ensure reliable Signal Current readings it is vital to
adhere to the same best practises as are used to give
accurate Depth Measurement readings.
1. Only apply the signal by a Connection method
(Direct Connection, Signal Clamp or Signal Injector)
to the target service.
2. The Generator/ Transmitter must be set to Continuous
signal output, NOT Pulsed output.
3. Set the Locator to Transmitter Mode, select the correct
frequency and pinpoint the position of the buried service.
Make sure the Locator is directly over the buried service and
at right angles to it's route. Rest the Locator on the ground
with the body vertical.
4. Press and hold down the Signal Current button.
The Signal Current reading will be shown on the display,
measured in mA.
Allow the Signal Current reading to stabilise.
NOTE The Signal Current figure alone does not provide any useful information. It is how this figure compares
to other Signal Current readings taken on other services or at different points along our target service that can
indicate the layout and identity of the network.
