Jameson's 17-300R Cabel and Pipe Signal Receiver has an ergonomic design for one-hand operation and highly vis-
ible display. Works with transmitter to detect active frequencies, adjusting to work at different sites and applications.
Locate any continuous metal run - iron, steel and copper water lines, gas lines, tracer wire by plastic pipe, telephone/TV
cables, copper and aluminum wire, conduit, power lines and Duct Hunter™ Traceable Rodders.
4 Frequencies: 512 Hz, 8 KHz, 33KHz and 82 KHz.

Page 3: Prepare For Use
Prepare For Use Unpack Locator and make sure there is no shipping damage and all the parts are included. Locate battery compartment on back of the “head” of Receiver. Open compartment using a phillips screwdriver. Install six “C” batteries as marked. Transmitter (“TX”) Controls and Indicators Load Rate Indicators... -
Page 4: Direct Connection
DO NOT CONNECT TO LIVE OR CAUTION ENERGIZED POWER CABLES Direct Connection Direct Connection is the most reliable method of signal application. This method is relatively free of interference. The greatest amount of signal strength can be achieved by this method. Low, mid and high frequency may be used. -
Page 5: Selecting Tracing Signal
The locating range is quite short for the 82 kHz signal so Transmitter must be repositioned more often during tracing operation. Also useful for applying a signal to the Jameson Duct Hunter™. -

Page 7: Locating The Cable Or Pipe
Locating Cable or Pipe Make sure Transmitter is connected and in the ON position. Move approximately 15 feet (4.5 meters) away from Transmitter along the path. (Move about 25 feet (7.5 meters) for Inductive search mode.) Hold Receiver so you can see LCD bargraph and controls easily. Make sure Receiver and Transmitter frequency are set for the same frequency, either 512 Hz (lower), 8 kHz, 33kHz or 82 kHz (higher). -
Page 8: Null Locating Mode
Null Mode Locating Move Receiver left to right across cable path. When Receiver is directly above cable or pipe, a Null (lowest meter reading and lowest audio tone) will occur. When moving Receiver left or right of Null point, meter reading will rise to a maximum point (Peak). The audio tone will also be at its highest pitch. -
Page 9: Push Button Depth
Receiver also may be detecting adjacent cables or is not directly over target conductor. Verify target conductor path precisely before measuring current again. If at anytime the display reads ‘CAL’, contact Jameson. Current Measurement The Receiver contains a feature very useful in identifying a desired cable in a field of various conductors and/or utilities. -

Depth Measurement 45º Angle Method Move to a location where you want to measure depth. Stay at least 15 feet away from Transmitter. Move Receiver left to right across path until cable is located. Mark path on the ground as precisely as possible using the Null Method. -
