Sounds of the NaviTrack
Transmitter
Sounds are associated with specific events.
They include:
•
Ascending/Descending Beeps – Turn On/Off.
•
Beeps upon connection.
The unit will beep, then pause to measure how much
current is flowing onto the cable or pipe. The unit will
beep faster when more current is detected.
•
Double-beep on shifting into inductive mode.
•
Four-tone intermittent trill when operating in
inductive mode.

Using the NaviTrack Line
Transmitter
The NaviTrack line transmitter is part of the
NaviTrack cable and pipe locating system. It can be
used to energize a pipe or line, so that the magnetic
field lines emitted from the underground line may be
traced. This allows the ground above the line to be
marked so that it can be avoided during a dig, or
exposed for repair or replacement. Underground lines
can be energized with the NaviTrack line transmitter.
This active signal is then traced using a NaviTrack
receiver.
The NaviTrack line transmitter can apply an active
tracing signal to a target conductor in three ways:
Direct
Connect
–
connected directly to the target conductor or tracing
wire, and a suitable ground. See page 9.
Inductive Clamp (optional) – The jaws of the
inductive clamp encircle the target conductor; there is
no metal-to-metal contact. (See Figure 9).
Inductive
(internal coils) – The transmitter is
placed over and in-line with the utility . Its internal
coils generate a field which induces current in the
underground target conductor. (See page 10).
WARNING
Always connect leads before turning the
transmitter on to avoid electrical shock. Ensure
transmitter is well grounded.
