  • Identifying and working within signal interference
  • EML limitations and possible solutions
  • Locator overview | Transmitter overview
  • Sweep search and pinpointing | Auto Sensitivity techniques
  • Effective initial use of the Signal Transmitter in Induction and Connection
  • Using crossover to aid Avoidance
  • Earthing techniques | Connection methods | Induction methods
  • Accessories
  • Depth estimations and verifications
  • Multiple choice question sheet (Assessment)
The Practical

  • Visual inspection of the work area.
  • Assessing the area for utilities.
  • Calibration and Health check verification
  • Transmitter connection mode
  • Pinpoint, trace, direction and depth verification available signals
  • Mark all pinpoints and directions
  • Connection verfication
  • As above in Induction mode
  • Validate and identify changes in Induction Null mode

Summary

We provide all of the training equipment and stationary at no extra cost and each trainee will have the range of Locator they are issued with on site.

Each trainee will have their own Locator to use to maximise their practical experience during the training. Trainees are encouraged to conduct a survey as they would in their workplace using the techniques listed above. Support and guidance is offered throughout the practical training and feedback will be provided if extra support is needed going forward.

To aid effective continued use of the equipment we can provide on going support and training. Please ask for details on our Training Support Packages.

A Leica Geosystems Detection endorsed training certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the training valid for 3 years.

**The duration and amount of Practical training is dependent on the suitability of the accessible training area and environmental conditions.

What is a Cable Locator and why do I need one?

HSG47: Avoiding danger from underground services

By law, breaking ground requires the use of a cable locating device to obtain accurate information about the location of buried utilities in order to protect employees and equipment during any excavation project.

Cable strikes result in unnecessary costs, reduce profit potential and introduce project delays.

This publication updates the guidance contained in the previous edition of HSG47 Avoiding danger from underground services. It outlines the dangers which can arise from work near underground services and gives advice on how to reduce the risk.
