CHAPTER II
GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
OPERATING PROCEDURES
This portion of the manual is broken down into the TRANSMITTER and RE-
CEIVER sections. The Sure-Lock works as an integrated system. In order to
understand this system, the operator must understand the importance and proper
use of each part of the system.
Transmitter
The most important element in properly locating a buried underground conduc-
tor is to properly energize the conductor. This is the function of the transmitter.
Therefore, the operator must understand the function of the transmitter in the
system and learn which mode of operation is best for any given locating assign-
be traced back to improper use or incorrect positioning of the transmitter.
Before using the transmitter in any of the following applications, it is essential
complete the expected operation. To test the battery, simply turn the transmitter
on, press and hold down the power test switch, and observe the relative bright-
ness of the LED indicator. The LED indicator will dim with low battery levels.
There are three modes of operation that can be used to energize conductors with
the transmitter. These modes are:
1. Inductive or Indirect Connect
2. Conductive or Direct Connect
3. Coupler Clamp (Model 58)
The output jack on the transmitter, the coupler clamp plugs and the conductive
attachment plugs are color coded for proper selection and use. The colored
mating halves must match. The transmitter “DIRECT ACCESSORY” output is
coded both white and blue and should only be used with the conductive attach-
ments which are color coded blue or with the model 58 coupler clamps which
are color coded white.
