3.1 General Tracing Techniques for All Applications

Receiver Locating

  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 the "+/-" buttons so that the bar graph reading just begins to show some movement. The sensitivity control should be at, or close to, maximum sensitivity.
  3. Keeping the Receiver vertical and in front of your body, walk across the area to be checked, then follow in a grid pattern.

Note that there will be no sound from the speaker until the meter reading is above full scale approximately 10%.
Note that objects perpendicular to the receiver will not be detected (white objects in drawings A and B). The Receiver will detect objects that are parallel or under angle (gray objects in drawings A and B). After performing the initial grid search as shown in drawing A, repeat grid search at 90 degrees as shown in drawing B.

Plan View

  1. If at any time the meter reading starts to increase, carefully move the locator forward and back, left to right to detect the maximum signal. Use the bar graph to help confirm 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 "+/-" buttons.

Amprobe UAT610 - Receiver Locating - 3

If the reading is off scale (too great or too small), then pressing the "+/—" buttons together will automatically adjust the sensitivity to bring the meter deflection to 50%.

  1. 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. The direction can also be verified by rotating until the smallest signal is detected – the Receiver is then perpendicular with the cable/pipe.

  1. Walk along the path of the cable and trace it by moving the Receiver left to right to find the highest signal.

3.2 Power Mode 50/60 Hz – Passive Location of Energized Cables and Power Lines

Power signals are created by mains power running in the supply cables. These signals are 50 or 60 Hz depending on the region (for example, Europe has 50 Hz power and the United States has 60 Hz power). This frequency can be adjusted on the Receiver.

When electrical power is distributed throughout the network, some of the power finds 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 flowing to create a detectable signal. For instance, a live cable that is not in use may not radiate a detectable signal. A very well balanced cable (exactly the same current flowing in live and neutral) will cancel out and may not create a signal. In practice this is unusual as there are usually enough imbalances in the cable to create a good detectable signal.

  1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the power button for two seconds.
  2. Press "Hz" button repeatedly until the correct frequency is selected. To change frequency between 50 or 60 Hz refer to UAT-600-R Receiver Controls and Display section 2.2.
  3. Follow the steps as described in the Receiver Locating section 3.1.

3.3 Radio Mode – Passive Location of Utilities

Radio signals are created by low frequency radio transmitter and are used for broadcasting and communications. They are positioned throughout the world. As the frequencies are very low, the signals tend to penetrate and hug the curvature of the earth. 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. Tracing of non-metallic pipes and conduits will be possible after inserting metal fish tape or cable.

  1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the power button for two seconds.
  2. Press the "Hz" button repeatedly until Radio is selected.
  3. Follow the steps as described in the Receiver Locating section 3.1.

Amprobe UAT610 - Radio Mode – Passive Location of Utilities - 2

The Left/Right arrows are not active during passive location, such as in Power or Radio modes.

3.4 Induction Mode – Locating Utilities

Induction Mode is particularly useful for identifying the location of multiple buried utilities before digging. Induction Mode can be also used for tracing individual cables where there is no access to the line to connect test leads or a clamp. However, this method may not be reliable if adjacent lines are present because the signal will be also applied to these lines.

Without the test leads or signal clamp connected to the Transmitter, the Transmitter will automatically start to radiate a signal around it using an internal antenna. These signals will penetrate the ground and couple onto buried lines. The signal will then travel along the line which can be detected with the Receiver.

With the Induction Mode method, you will detect metallic utilities, such as pipes, as well as energized and de-energized cables. Tracing of non-metallic pipes and conduits will be possible after inserting metal fish tape or cable.

Induction Mode – Setting Up the Transmitter

When using Induction Mode, place the Transmitter at least 65 feet (20 m) away from any structure such as building or a tower to avoid signal interference. Before tracing, take a visual inspection of the area looking for clues were the buried utility might be present, such as transformers, manholes, street or parking lamps, etc.

The signal will radiate around the Transmitter as well as below it, so it is recommended that when applying a signal using Induction Mode, a distance of at least 65 feet (20 m) is kept from the Transmitter when pinpointing or taking depth readings. While locating closer than 65 feet is possible, the operator should be aware that the signal directly received from the Transmitter may be strong enough to influence the results.

Induction Mode – Locating with the Receiver

  1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the power button for two seconds.
  2. Press "按钮 repeatedly until 33 kHz is selected.
  3. Follow the steps as described in the Receiver Locating section 3.1, using the Left/Right arrow indicators to quickly assess location of the wire.
  4. Optionally measure the depth of the wire. Refer to the Taking Depth and Current Measurements section 4.3 for details.

For better accuracy, after the initial location of a utility is detected, move the Transmitter directly over it in case it was not placed precisely in the beginning of the search.

Where the signal is distorted, the arrows may indicate a different target position than the largest bar graph reading. In this situation, always use the bar graph to pinpoint the line as it is influenced less than the Left/Right arrows in a distorted signal field.

3.5 Direct Test Leads Connection Mode – Tracing an Individual Pipe or Cable

Direct connection with test leads is the most reliable method to trace individual cable or a pipe.

WARNING

  • 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 30 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.

Avoiding signal cancellation problems with a separate ground connection

The signal generated by the Transmitter creates an electromagnetic field around the wire. This field is what is detectable by the Receiver. The clearer this signal, the easier it is to trace the wire.

If Transmitter is connected to two adjacent wires on the same circuit (for example, hot and neutral wires on a Romax cable), the signal travels in one direction through the first wire and then returns (in opposite direction) through the second. This causes the creation of two electromagnetic fields around each wire with opposite direction. These opposing fields will partially or completely cancel each other out, making wire tracing difficult if not impossible.

Amprobe UAT610 - Avoiding signal cancellation problems with a separate ground connection - 1

text_image L N PE 8kHz 33kHz 50Hz Radio 100 O O O O O O

To avoid the cancellation effect, a separate ground connection method should be used. The red test lead of the Transmitter should be connected to the hot wire of the circuit you wish to trace, and the green lead to a separate ground, such as water pipe, ground stake, metal grounded structure of the building, or outlet ground connection of an outlet on a different circuit. It is important to understand that an acceptable separate ground is NOT the grounding terminal of any receptacle on the same circuit as the wire you wish to trace. If hot wire is Energized and the Transmitter is properly connected to a separate ground, the red LED on the Transmitter will light up. The separate ground connection creates maximum signal strength because the electromagnetic field created around the hot wire is not being cancelled by a signal on the return path flowing along an adjacent wire (hot or neutral) in the opposite direction, but rather through the separate ground circuit.

Direct Test Leads Connection Mode – Setting Up the Transmitter

  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.
  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 the Hz button repeatedly to select 8 kHz frequency (preferred for most tracing situations) or 33 kHz. Refer to section 4.1 When to Use 8 kHz vs. 33 kHz Frequency for more information. Frequencies "A-LO" and "A-Hi" are used with optional A-Frame cable ground fault finder accessory used to pinpoint ground faults and are described later in the manual.
  6. Press the “+/-” buttons 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. It will also drain more power from the battery.

Note: When connected, the Transmitter will emit a beep tone. The better the connection to the line and ground, the faster the beep tone will be. Check for a good connection by disconnecting and then reconnecting the red lead. It is also possible to check the signal current being supplied by the Transmitter by entering the Settings Menu and selecting the mA option.

Things that can affect the quality of connection are a rusty pipe connection point (clean the connection area with a wire brush) or poor grounding. To improve the connection quality due to poor grounding, try inserting the stake into damp ground. If necessary, dampen the surrounding ground with water. If grounding is still an issue, try connecting test lead to a manhole cover surround. Avoid connecting to fence railings as these may create return signal currents along the fencing that will interfere with the locating signal.

Note: If the signal level bars do not fill, this indicates that the impedance of the line is limiting the current output. Increasing the output beyond this point will not increase the signal. If more signal is required, check the quality of the connection to the line and ground.

When connecting to large diameter pipes and cables, it is sometimes not possible to find a suitable projection to apply the alligator clip. If the material is ferrous, use a magnet to make contact to the line and then attach the alligator clip to a magnet. For example: making a connection to a street lighting circuit. Usually it is practice to connect the sheath of a lighting cable to the metallic inspection cover of a street lamp. Making a connection to the inspection plate will induce a signal to the cable via the plate and sheath. Usually, there is no projection on the plate on which to clip so using a magnet on the plate provides a suitable clipping point.

Direct Test Leads Connection Mode – Locating with the Receiver

  1. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the power button for two seconds.

text_image 8kHz 33kHz 50/60Hz Radio 500

In many situations, it is either not possible to gain access to a cable for making an electrical contact or it is not safe to do so. The Signal Clamp provides an efficient and safe method of applying a locate signal to a cable.

When using the Signal Clamp, it is best if both ends of the target cable are grounded to enable the current to flow. When applying a clamp close to a grounding point where multiple grounds or a grounding bus exists, ensure that the clamp is placed around the target line and not to the ground bus/other grounds to reduce the effects of the transmitted signal also being applied to an unwanted line.

Signal Clamp Accessory – Setting Up the Transmitter

  1. Turn the Transmitter on by pressing the power button for two seconds.
  2. Connect the black and red test leads of the Signal Clamp to the Transmitter inputs. The Transmitter will switch automatically to the Clamp Mode and the display will show the clamp icon.
  3. Clamp the Signal Clamp around the target line.
  4. Press the Hz button repeatedly to select 8 kHz frequency (preferred for most tracing situations) or 33 kHz. Refer to section 4.1 When to Use 8 kHz vs. 33 kHz Frequency for more information. Frequencies "A-LO" and "A-Hi" are used for cable sheath ground fault locating and is described later in the manual.
  5. Press the “+/-” buttons to set the output to level one. Increase the level if resulting signal strength is poor. Increasing the signal unnecessarily may result in the signal “bleeding off” onto other services and creating misleading “ghost” signals. It will also drain more power from the battery.

4.1. When to Use 8 kHz vs. 33 kHz Frequency

As a general rule, 8 kHz will provide the best compromise between clarity of signal and effects of "bleed off" to other services. However, there are times when the higher 33 kHz frequency will be beneficial:

  1. Locating pot ended cables: Pot ended cables are generally not grounded. This means that the signal will not readily travel to the pot end. Using a higher frequency will encourage signal current to flow.
  2. Small diameter cables: Higher frequencies tend to flow better on small diameter cables, although the rule "first try 8 kHz" still applies.
  3. Locating old cast iron pipes: These pipes tend to have mechanical connections between sections which rust over time and prevent an electrical connection between pipe sections. The 33 kHz signal will tend to jump across these joints and continue down the line.
  4. Poorly grounded cables: Generally, higher frequencies will travel along a poorly grounded cable better than lower frequencies.

4.2. Locating Non-Metallic Pipes and Sewer Lines

The UAT-600 locator can indirectly trace non-metallic conduits and pipes.

  1. Insert fish tape or wire inside the conduit or pipe. For sewer lines, use the sewer drain cleaning machine to insert a cleaning cable.
  2. Follow steps as described in the Direct Test Leads Connection Mode – Tracing an Individual Pipe or Cable section 3.5. Connect the red test lead to the fish tape or the drain cable.

The Receiver will pick up the signal conducted by the fish tape or wire, indicating the location of the non-metallic pipe.

4.3. Taking Depth and Current Measurements

Depth and current measurements are only available when the Receiver is set to 8 kHz or 33 kHz frequency. The mode is NOT available in 50/60 Hz or Radio Modes.

To take a depth and current measurement, first pinpoint the position of the line. Place the tip of the Receiver on the ground making sure it is vertical and across the line. Press and hold the

"button until the screen changes to display a dialog box.

The current measurement feature is useful for confirming that the detected signal is radiating from the traced line. If the signal is “bleeding off” onto other services, the resulting signals will generally be less than that of the originating signal. However,

Amprobe UAT610 - Taking Depth and Current Measurements - 1

text_image 8kHz 33kHz 50Hz Radio 262 3'11" 3.45mA

care should be taken as the signal current will gradually reduce over the length of the line. A sudden drop in current over distance indicates that either:

  1. There is a ground fault on the line which is shunting signal to ground.
  2. There is a "T" off from the mainline.
  3. The operator has migrated from the connected line to a line which has some signal that has bled off from the main line.

Checking for depth errors due to signal distortion

One way to determine if the depth measurement is likely to have been affected by distortion is to take a depth reading at ground level, then raise the Receiver a known distance off the ground (such as one foot). Retake the depth reading at the new depth and confirm that the depth has increased by this amount. If the depth has changed by something other than the actual change, then the readings should be treated as suspect.

Distorted signals will cause the located line position to be displaced from the actual position. The errors are more pronounced using the arrows in Null Mode than the Peak Mode bar graph. Hence, if the arrow/null position and peak bar graph position indicate differently, the signal likely distorted and the readings should be treated with caution.

⚠ WARNING

Never mechanically dig over the path of a buried pipe or cable. Always dig carefully.

4.5. Advanced Locating Techniques – Two Person Swap

  1. Set up the Transmitter as described in the Induction Mode – Locating Utilities section 3.4.
  2. Turn the Receiver on by pressing the power button for two seconds and select 33 kHz frequency by pressing Hz button.

  3. Select the area to be checked. One person holds the Transmitter with the handle in line with the direction of movement and the other holds the Receiver (as shown below).

  4. Stand at least 15 feet (5 m) apart holding the equipment as below, with the Transmitter and Receiver in line with the direction of movement.

  5. Adjust the sensitivity of the Receiver so that the meter reads approximately 20% signal strength.

  6. Walk slowly across the site keeping parallel with each other. As a service is approached, the signal level on the Receiver will increase. When the signal is at a maximum, stop the Transmitter and place it on the ground. Then pinpoint the position of the service with the Receiver as described in the Receiver Locating section 3.1. Mark this position and plot the route across the site if necessary.

  7. Continue to the sweep across the site and then, if possible, repeat the process at 90 degrees to the sweep already completed.
