Direct Connection

In Direct Connection, you connect the transmitter output directly to the utility. The transmitter will then apply a discrete signal which you can locate using the locator. This is the preferred method of applying a transmitter signal to a utility and in the majority of applications will apply a stronger signal to the utility, which may increase the locate distance.​

To directly connect to a non-energized conductive utility:​

1. Switch the transmitter off.​
2. Connect the Direct Connection lead into the transmitter accessory socket.​
3. Clip the red connection lead to the utility ensuring that the area around the connection is clean and that a positive connection is achieved.​
4. Clip the black connection lead as far away as possible and at 90° to the ground stake or suitable ground point nearby ensuring that a positive connection is achieved.​
5. Switch the transmitter On.​
6. The display will show the Direct Connection lead connected icon.
