AP-027M operation for utilities tracing
Move to the supposed utility location - an energized cable or a pipe. During the operation there will be information on the screen and sound in the headphones.
- The signal is low on the screen and in the headphones, it means the utility is far away from the operator.
- The closer to the utility the higher is the signal on the screen and the louder is the sound in the headphones.
- The operator is above the utility, the signal is maximum.
- The signal is less, it means the leakage was behind.
