Functional features of AP-019.1 in different operation modes
"Route" mode
"Route" mode screen is considered to be main. Utility axis position, burial depth and current of the utility are indicated on LCD screen. Detection of utility is performed in semi-automatic mode clearly and quickly.
"Graph" mode
Moving graph of signal strength level at the selected frequency is indicated together with utility position. "Graph" mode is used when the signal is too low or when the electromagnetic field is distorted.
"Graph+" mode
This mode provides the location of energized power cables which cross another located utility.
"MIN&MAX" mode
The "MIN&MAX" mode on the graphs of signal level changes helps to locate the center of a cable or pipe more accurately. Also it helps indicating several utilities laying nearby.
"R.dis." modes (Relative distance to the utility)
These modes are used when cables and pipes are positioned close to each other to measure burial depth of located utilities.
"2 frequencies" mode
In the "2 frequencies mode", the cable condition and pipeline protection diagnostic is performed using the transmitter.
AP-019.1 operation for utilities tracing
During the operation there will be the following indication on the screen:
- There is indication in the form of point on the screen, it means the utility is far away from the operator. It’s necessary to move towards the point.
- The utility axis is appeared on the screen and its position relative to the operator.
- The axis in the middle shows that the operator is above the utility. There is automatically calculation of the depth and current.
Cable and pipe locator Success AG-317N is recommended for application in the following industries
- Power.
- Telecommunication
