Description
The RIDGID ® SeekTech ST-510 line transmitter is part of
the RIDGID SeekTech cable and pipe locating system. The
ST-510 is used to generate an “active” signal on a metal-
lic underground line so that it may be traced with a com-
patible receiver such as the SeekTech SR-20 or SR-60.
This allows the line’s location to be correctly marked so it
can be exposed for repair or avoided during excavation.
The ST-510 line transmitter can apply an active tracing sig-
nal to a target conductor in three ways:
1. Direct Connect Method – The transmitter’s leads are
connected directly to the target conductor and a suit-
able ground (See page 8).
2. Inductive Clamp Method (optional accessory) –
The jaws of the inductive clamp encircle the target
conductor; there is no metal-to-metal contact (See
page 9).
3. Inductive Mode – The transmitter is placed over,
and in-line with, a conductor. Its internal antenna in-
duces a signal onto the target conductor (See page
9).
