Locating Parking Lot with a Pipehorn


Learn how to locate a parking lot light using the Pipehorn 800-HL. Locating a parking lot light can be tricky, especially with lower frequencies, with wires too short for clamping and a photocell that creates a dead end. By using the Pipehorn 800-HL's high-frequency mode (480 kHz), we effectively induce a strong signal on the line without needing direct connections or clamps. This method simplifies the process and is ideal for tough-to-find lines.


Locating Plastic Pipe with a Pipehorn


Learn how to locate a plastic drainage pipe using the Pipehorn 800-HL pipe and cable locator combined with a 100-foot metallic push rod. Here's the process: Insert the push rod into the plastic pipe, then connect it to the Pipehorn transmitter. This method locates the plastic pipe by sending a signal through the metallic rod. We start with the high-frequency mode (480 kHz) for best results, as it provides a strong signal even in challenging conditions. Watch as we demonstrate the technique, pinpoint the pipe's location, and explain how to interpret the signals. This video is a practical guide for locating plastic pipes efficiently.
