Overview - 4 UtiliGuard™ Series Operator’s Manual
Intended Use
Intended Use
The UtiliGuard Series receivers are designed to locate buried pipes and cables. Over 70 frequencies and
four modes of operation are available to suit your specific locating needs. The UtiliGuard B receiver is
offered without all options described and will be configured when ordered.
The T5 and T12 transmitters place signals on target cables to be detected by UtiliGuard Series receivers.
These units can be configured to send over 70 frequencies as well as custom frequencies. The
transmitters place a signal on the cable through either direct connection, induction clamping, or broadcast
modes.
The system is designed for operation in temperatures typically experienced in earth moving and
construction work environments. Use in any other way is considered contrary to the intended use. The
UtiliGuard Series system should be operated only by persons familiar with its particular characteristics and
acquainted with the relevant safety procedures. The system should be serviced only by Ditch Witch repair
centers.
IEC Safety Definitions
Hazardous voltage--electrical shock or equipment damage can result if transmitter is connected to
live cable. Have qualified utility personnel disconnect both ends of cable before working.
IEC protection class II or double insulated electrical device is one which has been designed in such
a way that it does not require a safety connection to electrical ground. In a device of this class, no
single failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it might cause an electrical
shock. This characteristic must be achieved without relying on a grounded metal casing.
