Page 13: Operating Cl43 Compact Locator
Although a proximity antenna is relatively insensitive to distant sources of interference, its limited range makes it ineffective when locating buried cables or ducts with the smallest sondes. In those cases, use a rod antenna instead. 13 (28) User Manual Vesala CL43 X2.1 ENG... -
Page 14: Locating Ducts With A Sonde
512 Hz sonde and SA05 Rod antenna making use of their low frequency which penetrates these materials. Approximate location: Hold the CL43 in 45° angle. Scan left and right with the antenna and move to the direction where the signal gets stronger in average. - Page 15 Exact longitudinal location: Hold CL43 vertically and approach the sonde in the duct. To define exact longitudinal location of the sonde, pinpoint signal minimum line. It runs transversely (90°) against the direction of the duct. Mark the minimum line to the ground.
- Page 16 1.4. Cancelling interference: To locate a sonde close to an interfering cable, duct or rail with a rod antenna: Rotate CL43 parallel to the source of interference (usually horizontal) thus minimizing its effect. Keep this attitude and move CL43 towards the sonde until a signal maximum is detected.

Page 17: Using Signal Generators
Locating is often affected by other nearby conductors and ducts. In order to use a signal generator with CL43, select a signal generator that outputs 33 kHz (32768 Hz) frequency. For safe and proper connection refer to signal generator information for use. -
Page 18: Locating Buried Cables
Use SA43 Rod antenna to track the cable route starting at the signal generator. Pinpoint the cable exact location using the minimum locating method. Tilt CL43 to a 45° angle and find a second minimum. Distance between the first minimum A and the second minimum B equals to cable depth. -

Carefully scan which cable or wire gives the strongest signal. Using a low sensitivity may be necessary to distinguish between similar signal levels. 19 (28) User Manual Vesala CL43 X2.1 ENG... -
Page 20: Locating Cable Faults
It may be necessary to use the signal generator at a high output level. Refer to signal generator information for use if necessary. If received signal strength allows, use LA43 Proximity 20 (28) User Manual Vesala CL43 X2.1 ENG... -
