The following are instructions for locating a buried pipe or cable using the direct connect
method and the directional peak (Dir Pk) mode. Other methods of connection and
tracing modes/features are explained in previous sections.
1. Insert the ground rod into the ground, perpendicular to the suspected target path.
2. Remove the grounding from the near-end of the target cable/pipe.
