Page 10: Using The Navitrack Brick Line Transmitter
NaviTrack Brick Line Transmitter Using the NaviTrack Brick Line Transmitter The NaviTrack Brick transmitter is part of Ridgid’s NaviTrack cable and pipe locating system. NaviTrack Brick is used to energize a pipe or line with an “active” electrical signal, so that the underground line may be traced with a compatible receiver (such as the NaviTrack II). - Page 11 NaviTrack Brick Line Transmitter WARNING NEVER CONNECT TO LINES KNOWN TO BE ENERGIZED WITH POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL CURRENT. increase safety, the ground lead should be attached first. If there were an unknown high voltage running through the target line, this would allow a means of redirecting the current away from the transmitter and operator.
