Using a Signal Generator (Induction Method)

This is the standard method for inducing signals onto buried metallic services. It produces a strong signal directly below the Generator but the signal strength drops off quite quickly either side of the Generator. 1. Check that there are no accessories plugged into the Connection Socket. The Generator switches automatically to Induction Mode when the socket is unused. 2. Place the Generator UPRIGHT on the ground where you suspect services may be buried and IN LINE with the expected route of these services. 3. Turn the Generator on then check that the batteries are OK. 4. The signal will be radiated into the ground immediately below and for approximately 3 metres either side of the Generator.
