what the instrument readings may be. The Scout will give the
user more information but it is up to the operator to interpret
that information correctly. No locator manufacturer will claim
that an operator should follow the information from their instru-
ment exclusively.
Conditions when locating accuracy must be questioned:
.
When other lines or utilities are present. "Bleed over"
may produce distorted fields and illuminate lines uninten-
tionally. Use lower frequencies when possible and elimi-
nate all connections between the two lines.
.
When using the transmitter inductively. This gives
the line a weak signal. Use a direct connection whenev-
.
er possible.
When T's or splits are present in the line. Can cause
.
distortions in the signal.
When signal strength is low. A strong signal is neces-
.
sary for accurate locating.
When soil conditions vary. Extremes in moisture,
either too dry or overly saturated, may affect measure-
ments. For example ground saturated with salty water,
that might be found by the coasts, will shield the signal
severely and be very difficult to locate in.
9. Transportation and Storage
Before transporting make sure that the unit is turned off to pre-
serve battery power.
When transporting make sure that the unit is secure and does
not bounce around or gets bumped by loose equipment.
The Scout should be stored in a cool dry place.
If storing the Scout for an extended period of time, the batter-
ies should be removed.
10. Installing/Using Accessories
The Scout also comes with markers that can be used to mark
Pole or sonde locations above ground. There are two (2) red
markers to mark the poles and one (1) yellow marker to mark
the sonde.
If further assistance is needed, please contact your dealer or a
RIDGID representative.
