Why transmitter accessories?
Coupling quality drives range, selectivity and depth accuracy. Robust leads, clamps and induction tools provide a defined injection path—even in noisy urban corridors.
Typical components
- Direct connection: connection/ground leads, clips, ground stakes
- Contactless: signal clamps in various jaw sizes
- Induction: induction plate or loop
- Adapters & interfaces: connector/thread adapters, extensions, splitters
- Power & protection: batteries, rechargeable packs, chargers, carry cases, covers
Selection guide
- Use case: route tracing, service locating, identification, sheath/earth faults
- Frequency & power: match to 512/640 Hz, 8–9 kHz, 33 kHz
- Compatibility: connector type, clamp opening, cable length and device specs
- Durability: IP rating, strain relief and rugged cables for outdoor work
Pro tips
- Ensure a solid return path—good grounding reduces bleed-over
- Vary frequency/mode in multi-utility corridors to verify results
- Keep contacts clean and replace damaged leads promptly
FAQ
- When should I use a signal clamp?
- For contactless injection or identification of a single conductor without disconnecting it.
- When is an induction plate useful?
- When direct connection is not possible—induction couples the signal without contact.
- What cable length should I choose?
- As short as practical to minimize losses, while leaving enough slack for setup.
- What power source is best?
- Rechargeable packs for frequent/long jobs; quality primary cells for occasional use.
