DESCRIPTION The TW-7700 Digital Line Tracer consists of a transmitter, receiver, ground-plate/ground-rod assembly, carrying case (hard or soft), and an operators manual. The TW-7700 is a single frequency line tracer. The TW-7700 is an active locating line tracer. There are three methods of active locating that an operator can use to trace a utility. The conductive method is the most preferred method, since a strong transmitter signal is transmitted through the intended target. The inductive

TW-7700 TRANSMITTER Transmitter Located on the transmitter are the power mode and the accessory output. The power mode enables the operator to turn the transmitter on or off, and to check the condition of the batteries. When checking the batteries, a reading if 50 or greater on the display meter indicates that batteries are usable. The accessory output is for the ground plate/ground rod assembly, and for the coupling clamp. There is a Red LED light that blinks when the transmitter is on. The

TW-7700 RECEIVER Receiver The TW-7700 Receiver. Controls Mode This button does not have a function on the TW-7700. (It allows users of the TW-8800 Multi-Frequency Line Tracer to change frequencies.) Power On/Off Turns the receiver on or off. Light Lights up the display for usage in dark areas. When the display is backlit, LIGHT is shown on the bottom left hand side of the display screen. Bat Press and hold this pad to check the battery level of the receiver. A bar graph on the right side of th

TW-7700 RECEIVER Display Frequency Modes The frequency at which the receiver is operating. << Left/Over Target>/Right>> Indicates where the receiver is in relation to utility. Numeric Display Serves a dual function: Relative signal strength of the transmitted signal (% shown). Responds in conjunction with the bar graph. Depth to the center of the target (when DEPTH pad is pressed - IN or CM shown) Light Indicates the display is lit (activated by pressing LIGHT pad). Bar Graph Serves three pur

ACCESSORIES Coupling Clamp The coupling clamp is useful when the utility is exposed, and a direct connection is not possible. It is plugged into the same plug-in socket as the ground-plate/ground-rod assembly. The coupling clamp only operates at the 82 kHz frequency. The coupling clamp will fit around utili- ties that are 3-¼ inches in diameter or smaller. The length of the cable is approximately 10 feet. Coupling Clamp Applications Diagram D. Trace signal will return to A. The coupling clam

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions are designed for a safe and effective method of line tracing and utility avoidance. Some of the steps may not be applicable in all situations. The underlying guideline is that operator safety must be maintained at all times. Use of safety equipment, extra personnel, and up to date as-built plans should be considered when necessary. INITIAL SCAN Set-up Transmitter either Inductively or Conductively Inductive Be aware of air coupling, the transm

DEPTH ACCURACY Depth measurement is a feature of the TW-7700. Accuracy is defined on an ideal target, that is, one that is continuous, a good conductor, and not surrounding by other utilities. There are factors that can cause the operator to question the accuracy of the utility being traced. Inductive Transmitter Setup Inductively, only a small portion of the signal attaches itself to the utility. With a weakened signal, trace should be accurate, but depth may not. The conductive method will
