Energized Cable Route Tracers The Cable Route Tracer is
designed to locate, trace and
measure the depth of buried
energized power cables. The
heart of the instrument is a
compact, all-steel control box.
It is attached to a
precision-wound, swivel-mounted
detecting coil that operates
from three basic positions:
- Horizontal: for maximum deflection over the cable
- Vertical: for a null over the cable
- 45° angle: for a null at a horizontal distance from the cable that is equivalent to the cable depth
The receiver of the locator features a filtering circuit that responds only to the existing electrical energy radiating from the buried cable. The chronic problem of identification in congested areas is eliminated because the receiver is insensitive to telephone lines, gas and water pipes, and steel reinforcing.
