UAT-600 Underground Utilities Locator

Special Applications:

• When to use 8 kHz vs. 33 kHz frequency

• Locating non-metallic pipes and sewer lines

• Taking depth and current measurements

• Voltage, resistance and output current measurements

using the transmitter

• Advanced locating techniques – two person swap

• Locating faults with the AF-600 A-Frame cable ground

fault nder accessory

See the user manual for further instructions regarding

special applications.

1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the

power button for two seconds. Select the

desired locating frequency. Hold the Receiver

vertically.

2. Adjust the sensitivity, using until

the bar graph reading begins to show

movement. The sensitivity control should

near maximum sensitivity.

3. Keeping the Receiver vertical and in front

of your body, walk across the area to be

checked in a grid pattern.

Locating with the Receiver

Rotate receiver

on its axis to nd

maximum signal

4. If the meter reading starts to increase,

move the locator forward and back, left to

right to detect the maximum signal. Use the

peak level indicator to help conrm the

correct position. If the bar graph exceeds the

maximum value, adjust the sensitivity to

bring the reading back within the limits of

the bar graph using .

5. Rotate the Receiver on its axis to obtain

the maximum signal. This indicates that the

Receiver is directly over the line and aligned

with the direction of the cable.

6. Walk along the path of the cable and

trace it by moving the Receiver left to right

to nd the highest signal.

Passive Location of Energized Cables and Power Lines

Power Mode and Radio Mode

Power signals are created by mains power

running in the supply cables. When electrical

power is distributed throughout the network,

some of the power nds its way back to the

power station via the ground. These stray

currents can jump onto pipes and cables and

also create power signals.

There must be enough electrical current

owing to create a detectable signal. For

instance, a live cable that is not in use may not

radiate a detectable signal. A cable with exactly

the same current owing in live and neutral

will cancel out and will not create a signal;

however, there are usually enough imbalances

in the cable to create a detectable signal.

Radio signals are created by low frequency

radio transmitter and are used for broadcasting

and communications. When the signals cross

a long conductor such as a pipe or cable, the

signals are re-radiated. It is these re-radiated

signals that can be detected by Radio Mode.

Locating radio signals is very similar to

detecting power signals as they are both

passive. With the Radio Mode method, you will

detect metallic utilities, such as pipes, as well as

energized and de-energized cables.

Note: The arrows are not active during passive location, such as in Power or Radio modes.

1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the

power button for two seconds.

2. Press repeatedly until the correct

frequency is selected. Frequency can

be adjusted to 50 or 60 Hz in the Receiver

Settings Menu (for US, select 60 Hz).

3. Follow the steps as described in

“Locating with the Receiver” (Pg 2-4).

1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the

power button for two seconds.

2. Press “Hz” repeatedly until Radio is

selected.

3. Follow the steps as described in

“Locating with the Receiver” (Pg 2-4).

Active Location of Utilities

Setting up the Transmitter

1. Turn the Transmitter on by pressing the

power button for two seconds.

2. Place the Transmitter over the suspected

location of the line, positioning it so that it is

along the line.

Note: Place the Transmitter at least

65 feet (20 m) away from any structure

such as building or a tower to avoid signal

interference. Avoid placing the Transmitter

over metallic manhole covers.

Induction Mode

3. Press to set the output to level

one. Increase the level if the resulting signal

strength is poor.

Note: Increasing the signal unnecessarily

may result in the signal being induced into

unwanted lines.

Active Location of Utilities

Locating with the Receiver

1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the

power button for two seconds. Hold the

Receiver vertically.

2. Press repeatedly until 33 kHz is

selected.

3. Follow the steps as described in

“Locating with the Receiver” (Pg 2-4), using

the arrow indicators to quickly assess the

location of the wire (optionally, measure the

depth of the wire – refer to the User Manual

for more details).

Note: For better accuracy, move the Transmitter

directly over the location of the utility after its

detection.

Note: If the arrows indicate a different target

position than the largest bar graph reading,

signal distortion is present. Use the bar graph

to pinpoint the line as it is inuenced less than

the arrows in a distorted signal eld.

1. Turn the Transmitter on by pressing the

power button for two seconds.

2. Connect the black and red test leads to

the Transmitter inputs. The Transmitter will

switch automatically to Direct Connection

Mode and the display will show the direct

connection icon.

3. Insert the ground stake into the ground

a few meters perpendicular to the line.

Connect the black lead to the ground stake

with an alligator clip.

Direct Test Leads Connection Mode

Tracing an Individual Pipe or Cable

Setting up the Transmitter

4. Connect the red test lead to the target line.

If line is energized above 30 V the red warning

LED will illuminate.

5. Press “Hz” repeatedly to select 8 kHz

frequency (preferred for most tracing situations)

or 33 kHz.

6. Press to set the output to level one.

Increase the level if the resulting signal strength

is poor. Increasing the signal unnecessarily may

result in the signal “bleeding off” onto other

services and creating misleading “ghost” signals.

• Only authorized personnel should

make connections to cables.

• The Transmitter can be connected

to energized wires up to CAT IV 600 V

and any de-energized wire or pipe.

• Do not touch metal parts of the

connection clips when connecting to

the line or when the Transmitter is on

as they may exceed 35 V rms.

• For shielded cables, always

connect to the sheath of that

cable. The sheath will stop the

tracing signal if the Transmitter is

connected to one the internal wires.
