Locate Passive Signal

Setup

Follow setup procedures for the type of locating you will be doing.
Always check locator battery level at start up.
Cables with no A/C current flowing through them are hard to detect and may be hazardous
because they may still have voltage potential.
To locate, turn on an appliance to cause current to flow and use active search methods.

Technique

Make a visual check of the site for signs of buried cables such as:
• Recent trenching
• Buried cable markers
• Overhead lines that run down pole and underground
• Gas meters
• Valve sights
• Drains or manhole covers
