Direct Connect Method - RIDGID SeekTech ST-510 Operator's Manual

SeekTech ST-510 Line Transmitter
Always connect leads before turning the
transmitter on to avoid electrical shock. Ensure
transmitter is well grounded.

Direct Connect Method

1. Attach the ST-510 line transmitter
to the ground and to the target
line.
Remove the ground spike from the bottom of the unit
and insert it into the ground. Connect one of the
cable leads to the grounding spike. The leads are
universal, so either may be used.

2. Connect the other lead to the
target conductor.

DANGER
Figure 9: Alternative Connection to a Pipeline
NEVER CONNECT TO LINES ENERGIZED WITH
A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL
CURRENT. To 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.
ALWAYS HOOK UP LEADS FIRST BEFORE
POWERING THE UNIT ON TO AVOID SHOCK.
ALWAYS TURN UNIT OFF BEFORE
DISCONNECTING LEADS.
3. Select a Frequency
The ST-510 line transmitter provides five frequencies:
128Hz
1kHz
8kHz
33kHz/262kHz
Figure 10: Frequency Selection
Note: For 262 Hz, press the 33 kHz button a
second time. (In European versions, this will set
the unit to 93 kHz).
