3 How to Use the Transmitter
3.1 General information
Tracing signal The Transmitter applies an electrical current (signal) onto a buried metallic service, which
enables the service to be traced and identified by the Locator operating in the same mode.
Operating mode There are three operating modes for onsite flexibility:
• 33 kHz for general usage
• 8 kHz for medium range tracing and reduced coupling on to other services.
• Combined 8 kHz and 33 kHz (Connection mode only) is useful in congested areas when
either 8 kHz or 33 kHz may provide a better result. The best results can be simply
achieved by switching modes on the Locator.
Plus two additional operating modes on the xf transmitters (connection mode only):
• 640 Hz for long distance tracing and reduced coupling on to other services. Generally
used in Countries where the mains electrical frequency is 50 Hz.
• 512 Hz for long distance tracing and reduced coupling on to other services. Generally
used in Countries where the mains electrical frequency is 60 Hz.
