@travisberan70102 ай бұрын
Any lower frequency. 512Hz is used a lot for fiber. Just make sure the other end is grounded.

512Hz if the far end is grounded. However, if you're around underground power lines you may want to move it a little higher to avoid interference.

Sorry, but I am a bit confused by this... it looks like you're initially using the locator on its own to locate the cable, and you note that there is a sudden increase in depth, which is where you marked on the ground with red paint (my understanding is this sudden increase in depth is where the fault is). You then switched to the A-frame and found something else further along (also marked with red paint). Then at the end of the video you came back to the original red paint marker (where the change in depth was noticed) and said that was where you need to dig. I don't understand what the second marker (made with the A-frame) was for... and why you'd even need the A-frame if the locator can detect the fault (by looking at the change in depth). Could you please explain these two points? Thank you.
@SubsurfaceSolutions2 ай бұрын
Faults create a distorted magnetic field that will give escalated depth readings, which is your first indication there is a problem nearby but doesn't pinpoint the location as well as the A-frame. There were two faults on this line but the first location was worse judging by the higher decibel reading and should be investigated (daylighted) first.

Line locating isn't easy. The responsibility of protecting the underground utilities is heavy. Good line locators usually are: 1. Confident Self-starter - much of the time working solo, in diverse locations, able to take initiative and assume responsibility. 2. Technical - sophisticated electronic equipment when locating utilities 3. Personable - skills to be able to deal with wide variety of personalities 4. Attention to Detail - understand reports, utility plans, and documentation visual inspections prior to locating and marking 5. Spatial Awareness - organized knowledge of objects in relation to oneself in that given space 6. Teachable - Staying humble and recognize that there is always something to learn 7. Problem-solver - identify problems quickly and find the best solution to a problem 8. Entrepreneurial - not afraid to get your hands dirty and take pride in your work 9. Realistic - You need to be realistic in assessing you own abilities - you are not superman; you do not have x-ray vision and you can't bend the bars of a jail.

Use it in 8kHz or higher. You should be able to hear a high pitched squeal in 8kHz when transmitting. Make sure the transmitter shows a ring clamp icon. If you don't see the ring icon when it's plugged in you could have a faulty connection socket. If you have the icon, don't hear a high pitch tone in 8kHz you could have a faulty ring clamp and it need to be sent in for repair. Maybe you know another locator tech and you can compare.
