Common Signal Problems
Distortion
Distortion often happens when a metallic object partially distorts the signal, or a signal from a parallel cable
interferes with target signal.
False Signals
False signals describe situations where the receiver indicates a cable location where there is no cable.
False signals often happen when a cable tees or bends, or another cable runs parallel to or crosses the
target cable.
Tees, Bends, and Dead Ends
To find signal in these situations, enable peak verify feature and sweep in a circle as shown.
IMPORTANT: If target depth and location are critical, confirm by hand-digging or vacuum excavation.
