Depth Measurement Related Alerts These alerts are associated with depth measurements and only appear within the depth pop-up screen section. 8kHz 33kHz 50Hz Radio Depth Related Alerts Not possible to compute depth because the signal is too noisy, too weak or too strong. Signal Abnormal Not possible to compute depth because of a strong signal radiating from above (i.e., an overhead cable).

Terminals for direct connection and signal clamp Hazardous output voltage indicator. The icon on the screen indicates the transmitter is outputting voltages ≥30 V. Protection fuse Hazardous voltage indicator (over 30 V) The red solid light indicates the presence of AC voltage ≥30 V on the circuit under direct connection mode.
Resistance: This function is only available when test leads are connected to de-energized target line. Refer to the Direct Test Leads Connection Mode section 3.5 to properly connect the test leads. The indicated value is the resistance of the line connected to the Transmitter.

If the reading is off scale (too great or too small), then pressing the “ ” buttons together will automatically adjust the sensitivity to bring the meter deflection to 50%. 5. Rotate the Receiver on its axis to obtain the maximum signal. This indicates that the Receiver is directly over the line and aligned with the direction of the cable.
1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the power button for two seconds. 2. Press the “ ” button repeatedly until Radio is selected. 3. Follow the steps as described in the Receiver Locating section 3.1. The Left/Right arrows are not active during passive location 3.4 Induction Mode –...
3. Press the “ ” buttons to set the output to level one. Increase the level if the resulting signal strength is poor. Increasing the signal unnecessarily may result in the signal being induced into unwanted lines. Induction Mode – Locating with the Receiver 1.

IMPORTANT NOTICE, PLEASE READ BEFORE TRACING Avoiding signal cancellation problems with a separate ground connection The signal generated by the Transmitter creates an electromagnetic field around the wire. This field is what is detectable by the Receiver. The clearer this signal, the easier it is to trace the wire. If Transmitter is connected to two adjacent wires on the same circuit (for example, hot and neutral wires on a Romax cable), the signal travels in one direction through the first wire and then returns (in opposite direction) through the second.

Direct Test Leads Connection Mode – Setting Up the Transmitter 1. Turn the Transmitter on by pressing the power button for two seconds. 2. Connect the black and red test leads to the Transmitter inputs. The Transmitter will switch automatically to Direct Connection Mode and the display will show the direct connection icon 3.
3.6 Signal Clamp Accessory – Tracing an Individual Pipe or Cable In many situations, it is either not possible to gain access to a cable for making an electrical contact or it is not safe to do so. The Signal Clamp provides an efficient and safe method of applying a locate signal to a cable. When using the Signal Clamp, it is best if both ends of the target cable are grounded to enable the current to flow.
4. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS 4.1. When to Use 8 kHz vs. 33 kHz Frequency As a general rule, 8 kHz will provide the best compromise between clarity of signal and effects of “bleed off” to other services. However, there are times when the higher 33 kHz frequency will be beneficial: 1.
The AF-600-EUR A-Frame Ground Fault Locator is an optional accessory specifically designed for the Beha-Amprobe UAT-600-EUR series. In combination with the Transmitter, it will pinpoint the place where a cable metal conductor (either a sheath or a metallic conductor of the wire) touches the ground. It can also detect other conductors to ground faults such as pipeline coating defects.
