    When using a ring clamp or making a makeshift ring clamp like you did, milliamps are almost always going to be really low. You're more paying attention to your depth and making sure you're peak and null match.

    Hello, CAL-0 indicates that the locator does not have a current calibration, right? Are you wondering if there's anything that can be done to prevent this message from being displayed when you start the locator? It's best to calibrate it, I know? But paying for calibration every year is too much. Older models don't have this problem, they don't display this message.

    • @811chicago5
      @811chicago5 21 день назад

      Yes, CAL-0 on a Radiodetection locator indicates that the locator does not have a current calibration. Reach out to Radiodetection’s customer support or technical support to see if there is away to turn it off.

    Regarding the point at 12:15 where you've got your peak and null not in the same spot. The correct procedure* is: 1. Measure the distance between the peak and null, and then divide that distance by 2. In your case, it looks to be about 8" apart, so the number you need is 4". 2. Draw a straight line from the null to the peak, and then continue in that same direction by an extra 4" beyond the peak (so you should now be 12" away from the null point). That is where the target utility should be. Yes, the point you marked halfway between the peak and null might be within your reported margin of error in this case, but it's not really good practice, because if there were additional buried conductive utilities nearby, the distortion can be made worse, and the responses from peak and null, and the location of the actual utility can be further apart (much more than the difference shown in this video example). *as per the Radiodetection user manual and as per page 58 of 'The ABC and XYZ of Locating Buried Pipes and Cables', also by Radiodetection. Hope this helps. :-)

    • @811chicago5
      @811chicago5 2 месяца назад

      This is one of the more challenging locates with these transmission lines. There are no hookup spots, you can't access the substation or ground out, and you have to maintain an 18-foot distance from the conductors and transmission towers while they're energized. It required significant time and personnel to get this locate done accurately.

    Lots of times you can pick it up with higher frequencies such as 83k or 200k. If the meter is inside but the vent is outside that’s what I do, as long as the main valve shut off is not an insulated valve it will pass through. Most of the issues with gas are with shut offs being insulated or if they installed a “break-away” fitting which is insulated at the foundation. I work for the gas company, I’m going to ask the meter dept if the regulators are actually insulated themselves or if it’s the fitting threaded beneath it. Regardless though insulators SUCK! In my opinion gas is one of the most difficult utilities to locate. Even tracer wire has its difficulties. Great videos btw, I love the troubleshooting aspect of being a locator. Learn something new everyday

    • @811chicago5
      @811chicago5 3 месяца назад

      Thanks a lot for your comment. When using higher frequencies, there is a tendency to bleed onto other utilities rather than the one you're trying to locate. This is where the younger locators are getting damages with these higher frequencies. In 2000, when a gas service was hit off the vent, gas company representatives told me that the regulator had an insulator, making it impossible to locate off the vent. Once again, thank you very much.
