and broken or severely damaged wires, and trace their paths. The complete Pro700 kit

consists of;

• (1) Pro700R Receiving Wand

• (1) Pro700T Transmitter and Carrying Case

• (1) ProH1 Mono Headset

• (1) ProGS Ground Stake

• (1) Set of Black/Red Connecting Leads

• (1) Operating Manual

Please be sure that all items are included before operating the Pro700.

Theory of Locating

- Cable Locators consist of a transmitter and a receiver or wand.

In operation, a transmitter places a specific frequency signal onto the metallic conductor

you are trying to trace. This placing of an AC signal onto a cable produces an electrical

current and an electromagnetic field around that cable. If the wand is close enough, this

signal is received and amplified by the wand.

It is very important to understand that the circuit you are creating follows the laws of

physics and electricity. A cable locator transmitter creates an electrical current (AC) that

travels down the cable, through grounding to the earth, and then back to the transmitter

through the ground stake. The tracing signal will always travel on the path of least

resistance. If there is too much resistance or no circuit path, no current will flow and no locate will be possible. So keep in mind that when a signal is heard, it is because the signal has a complete path that is creating an electrically friendly way for the signal to travel back to the transmitter. The signal doesn't just randomly wander through the dirt. It follows a path provided for it, whether it is a pipe, wire, reinforcing bar. etc.

Tracing Wire - After the Pro700 transmitter has been properly connected and verified to have a good ground and power, turn on the Pro700 receiver by turning the volume knob on the front of the receiver. Place the receiver near the operating Pro700 transmitter. A beeping sound should be heard indicating that the receiver is working properly. A high pitched tone could indicate that you are too close to the receiver or your batteries are low. A fading signal indicates low battery.

There may be more than one valve on the cable being traced. You may wish to continue past the first valve located to determine if other valves are also located on this wire. Helpful Hints – Increases in signal strength and/or the size of the area it is occurring from usually indicates some type of anomaly in the cabling. Things that could cause this are valves (as described above), nicks, cuts, bad splices, or cut wires.
