Signal Clamp Must Be Placed Below

Plug the Signal Clamp into the jack on the Pipehorn Transmitter to energize the transmitter and
apply the signal to the target conductor.
With good signal output and proper positioning of the clamp, you should be able to hear the
Signal Clamp emitting a shrill sound or “ringing” in addition to the transmitter’s good signal tone.
Begin tracing the signal with the Pipehorn Receiver set to receive the low-frequency signal (press
the yellow “LF” on the frequency selection switch). The clamp also works well with Pipehorn’s high
frequency (HF position).

INDIVIDUAL CABLE IDENTIFICATION
Set up the 570 Signal Clamp around the target cable, as described above.
At the next vault or access point, place the Pipehorn Receiver antenna on each cable listening
for the strongest signal.
This method will be successful only when there is no common or cross-bonding of the
cables between the clamp (where signal is applied) and the receiver (where signal is de-
tected).
