Cable locating is not an exact science… yet. To do a good job, you must know your equipment, and use your intuition and good judgment. Certain techniques can alert you to potential problems and make the difference between a good locate and a bad one.

Cable Master Inc. provides training seminars on how to locate underground facilities. Included will be instructions on how to get the best performance out of your present equipment or our latest 3M models.
During Cable Masters Locating Training Seminars we discuss the basics of
Locating buried cable or pipe by using a Transmitter to apply a signal to the conductor, and tracing the conductor’s path using a Receiver.
