Transmitter - Inductive Mode
The inductive mode of operation is the easiest and simplest mode of using the
transmitter as no direct access to the conductor is needed. However, the opera-
tor must thoroughly understand how the transmitter functions in this mode of
operation in order to avoid the locating pitfalls that can accompany this mode of
operation.
There are two ways to energize the conductor using the inductive mode. They
are as follows:
1. One Operator Sweep
2. Two Operator Sweep
One Operator Sweep - Inductive Mode
When using the one operator sweep, the operator must know where the conduc-
riser, pedestal, repair patch, etc.
When a known starting point is determined, the transmitter is turned on and the
positioned directly over the top of the conductor to be traced so that the arrow is
aligned with the path of the conductor (Figure 2-1).
**NOTE**
THE STRONGEST SIGNAL TRANSFERS TO THE CONDUCTOR WHEN
THE TRANSMITTER IS CENTERED DIRECTLY OVER THE CONDUC-
TOR WITH THE ARROW ALIGNED PARALLEL TO THE PATH OF THE
CONDUCTOR.
