Underground cables are critical infrastructure for power distribution, telecommunications, security systems, lighting networks, and industrial facilities. Before excavation, construction, maintenance, or troubleshooting begins, accurately locating these buried cables is essential to prevent costly damage, service interruptions, and safety hazards.
The JW Fishers CT-1 Cable Tracker, used with the Signal Injector, provides a solution for locating and tracing underground cables, wires, and metallic utilities.
The system enables operators to identify the precise route of buried conductors without excavation, saving time and money.
The CT-1 Cable Tracker system operates by applying a unique signal to the target cable using the Signal Injector. Once the signal is transmitted onto the conductor, the CT-1 receiver detects the electromagnetic field generated by the cable.
As the operator walks the area with the receiver, the signal strength increases when the receiver is directly above the cable and decreases as operator move away. This allows the user to accurately trace the cable's path across the ground surface. The technology works like a metal detector but is designed to identify a signal-carrying conductor, making it much more precise for utility locating applications.
The Signal Injector is a critical component of the cable tracking process. It introduces a detectable signal
