    Known: pipeline last recorded position (“A”) flow direction (“A” to “B”) transmitter type (CDI X100) Unknown: present location of obstructed pig *MFL pigs are not located with the Pinpointer; rather, you use the tracking capability to locate the magnetic passage detection (see Tracking Example 2, pg.
  • Page 34 PINPOINTING TRAXALL 700 SERIES USER GUIDE OPERATION “Walking a Line” (X100 transmitter shown) Pinpointing is similar to passage detection except there will likely be no need for recording, as pinpointing is a “hands on” operation. From last known position, proceed downline, keeping TRAXALL as closely aligned with pipeline as practical.
  • Page 35 PINPOINTING TRAXALL 700 SERIES USER GUIDE OPERATION “Walking a Line” (cont.) When you have passed the transmitter, turn and retrace your steps back toward the transmitter while watching the Pinpointer dial.

    SYSTEM MENU TRAXALL 700 SERIES USER GUIDE APPENDIX APPENDIX System Menu Tree Relay Options Set up and program the two RELAYS for various pulse train behavior. The relay contacts can be used for passage annunciation (lights, horns, etc.), a very useful feature where an unmanned passage must be monitored.
  • Page 41 SYSTEM MENU TRAXALL 700 SERIES USER GUIDE APPENDIX Relay Options (cont.) CYCLES can be set for 1 to 10 relay repetitions. When LATCH* is checked, relay will stay tripped until RESET is selected. Example: if NORMALY OPEN is checked, the relay will close when activated by passage, and stay closed until reset.
  • Page 42 SYSTEM MENU TRAXALL 700 SERIES USER GUIDE APPENDIX Data Win View DATA WIN VIEW offers three ways of graphing transmitter passage. TRANS HISTORY is the default data display mode. It is an X–Y graph, where X=Time and Y=Signal Magnitude. When TRAXALL is set to TRANS HISTORY, passage data can be viewed in real time, or, if recorded, the log file can be replayed at a later time.
  • Page 43 SYSTEM MENU TRAXALL 700 SERIES USER GUIDE APPENDIX Data Win View (continued) TRANS FFT (Fast Fourier transform), or Spectral mode, is a time-to-frequency conversion algorithm where X=Signal Frequency and Y = Signal Magnitude. When TRAXALL is set to TRANS FFT, passage data can be viewed in real time only.
  • Page 44 TRAXALL 700 SERIES USER GUIDE APPENDIX The FFT view mode can also be used to survey a tracking environment for ambient electromagnetic noise. Ambient noise is electromagnetic activity which could be misinterpreted as a passage. Sources can include power lines, machinery, and passing motor vehicles or railroad trains. Here, the white graph line represents signals detected across an electromagnetic spectrum including the TRAXALL transmitter range(17.5 to 29.29 Hz).
  • Page 45 TRAXALL 700 SERIES USER GUIDE SYSTEM MENU APPENDIX Data Win View (continued) AXIS HISTORY plots a signal’s relative field magnitude where red = X, green = Y, and blue = Z.
