Depth, current and compass readouts
WARNING! Never use the depth measurement readout as a guide for
mechanical or other digging activity. Always follow safe digging guidelines.
The ACCUPOINT locator can measure and display the utility depth, locate signal
current and the relative orientation of the cable or pipe to the locator. This helps you to
make sure that you are following the right cable or pipe, especially when other utilities
are present.
The ACCUPOINT locator features TruDepth , a feature that helps you to ensure the
™
accuracy of your locates. The depth and current are automatically removed from the
display when the locator is at an angle of more than 7.5° from the path of the cable or
pipe being located, or when the locator determines that signal conditions are too poor
for reliable measurements.

Using accessories

Sondes, Flexrods and FlexiTrace
Sondes are transmitters that are useful for tracing non-metallic pipes and sewer and
storm pipelines. Battery powered sondes can be fixed to Flexrods to allow them to
be pushed through pipes or conduits, and some are suitable for blowing through
ductwork. Sondes integral to pipeline inspection systems are suitable for the location
and assessment of sewer and storm pipeline systems during inspection.
A FlexiTrace is a traceable fiberglass rod incorporating wire conductors with a sonde
at the end. It is connected to the output of the transmitter and is typically used in small
diameter, non-metallic pipes. The user has the option of locating the entire length of
the cable or choosing to locate only the tip of the cable.
The FlexiTrace has a maximum power rating of 1W. When using the FlexiTrace with
a ACCUPOINT MS620 transmitter, the output limit must be set to 1W in the MAX P
menu and the output voltage limit set to LOW in the MAX V menu.
