INSTRUCTION MANUAL
To find the end of a cut or broken wire, follow the path until
the null disappears. At that point you will hear a "hot spot" or
audible and consistent tone. As you move past this point, no null
will be detected. This is the approximate end of the broken wire.
(Refer to Figure 3)
To find wire nicks, continue along the path as previously described,
tracking the null sound at the wire and the tone sounds along the
sides. At some point the tone to either side of the null will weaken
over the course of a short area. At this point, return to the point
where the last strong signal was detected, and place the receiver tip
on the ground approximately six (6) inches to one side of the null.
Mark your null path if necessary. Adjust the sensitivity knob down
until the meter reads just below 10 and move the receiver down the
line, maintaining the 6-inch distance from null. Pay close attention
to the meter reading as you move along the path—once you pass
the wire nick the meter will fall off rapidly. (Refer to Figure 4)
