Current Direction arrows
NOTE! Different industry conventions have
developed for Current Direction arrows
and this is reflected in the different modes
of use. In pipeline surveying the arrows
indicate the return path to earth. The utility
locating industry use the arrows to indicate
the path of the signal as it transmitted away
from the transmitter.
When the PCMx has the magnetometer
foot attached, a reverse arrow, (pointing
towards the Tx), on the receiver screen
indicates that the user is following the
correct cable or pipeline.
With the foot removed, a forward arrow,
(pointing away from the Tx), indicates the
user is locating the correct cable or pipeline.
