Depth measurement the superc.A.T will automatically measure and display the depth in active line, sonde and cps modes. Note: the superc.A.T does not measure depth in power or radio modes. Method: locate the utility as follows. Hold the superc.A.T still and vertically centered above the detected line...
Page 5: T1 – 1W Transmitter
Radio mode radio mode detects broadcast signals that originate from radio transmitters. These signals penetrate the ground and are re-radiated by buried conductors. However, depending on your location, these signals may not be present. Strikealert™ if the strikealert™ option is activated, the mode i...

Cable location with the superc.A.T and t1 transmitter induction mode the transmitter has an internal aerial that will induce a signal onto a line (or lines) directly below it. This is useful when you do not have direct access to the line. Generally, induction is only effective to depths of 2m (6’6”)...

Clip the ground cable to an independent grounding point a few meters away from the transmitter and preferably perpendicular to the probable route of the target cable or pipeline. Do not attach the ground cable to water pipes or any buried line which could carry the induced locate signal. Start with ...

Procedure connect the signal clamp to the transmitter. Place the signal clamp around the pipe or cable, ensuring the jaws are closed. Switch on the transmitter. Note that unless a disconnected pipe or cable is grounded, it cannot generally be located using a signal clamp. Locating a sonde the superc...

Stop when the bar graph indicates a clear peak. Rotate the receiver until the blade’s orientation is perpendicular to the sonde, stop when the bar graph indicates a clear peak. Move the receiver from side to side until the bar graph indicates a clear peak. When the receiver locates a peak signal, it...

If the signal is too weak or unstable the receiver unit will not calculate depth. In this case use a more powerful sonde or use the pinpoint procedure described below. Pinpoint procedure. Move the receiver ahead of the sonde. Ensure the blade’s orientation is parallel with the sonde’s orientation in...
