Cable Route Tracer
DESCRIPTION
The Cable Route Tracer is designed to locate, trace and
measure the depth of buried energized power cables. The
heart of the instrument is a compact control box attached
to a precision-wound, swivel-mounted detecting coil that
operates from three basic positions:
The receiver of the locator features a filtering circuit that
responds only to the existing electrical energy radiating
from the buried cable. The chronic problem of
identification in congested areas is eliminated, because the
receiver is insensitive to telephone lines, gas and water
pipes, and steel reinforcing.
APPLICATIONS
By observing the meter on the control panel and/or the
sound level in the earphones, an operator can easily
follow main cable runs and service laterals. The operator
can also pin-point both Y- and T-type splices and
subsurface transformers. This instrument can sometimes be
used to locate grounded electrical faults on un-shielded
cable, particularly in direct buried installations.
Horizontal: for maximum
deflection over the cable
Vertical: for a null over
the cable
45° angle: for a null at a
horizontal distance from the
cable that is equivalent to the
cable depth
Operates from three basic
