## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this detect invisible fences so they can be marked?**
A: If you can connect to the underground wire and send the “signal” through the underground “invisible” fence, then yes.

**Q: Will this work to find underground category 5e and 6+ data cables?**
A: Yes it will as long as you connect the transmitter to the wires properly.

**Q: Can this be used on hvac equipment refig. line's that are in use?**
A: Personally I have never tried this but I have attached the signal to a fish tape and followed it inside a plastic pipe.  I see no reason why it would not work on your hvac lines.

**Q: What is the range of receiver when using coupler clamp method?**
A: As long as the run is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tool for irrigation, electrical, gas and plumbing applications.
*by J***N on July 26, 2025*

Excellent wire finder. I have been using this system for 25 years. It's simple and effective. It will trace anything metal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just buy it. It works

Works great! Wish I would have bought it sooner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the money.
*by H***E on January 22, 2015*

I was a bit nervous spending this much money on a tracker since I'm just an individual property owner; I don't need this thing all the time. I have been very happy with this and I think it was worth the money. I was working on a property where I needed to run water and electric lines which I knew would intersect existing electric lines (five times!). I had previously used an Armada 300, and I found this to be easier to use, especially for electric lines, because of the inductive connection it can make (clamp included in this kit). Also, the rigid handle/pickup foot on this unit is easier to use than the corded receiver of the Armada. It's easier to be precise about where the line is (no waiting for the receiver to quit swinging on the cable) and easier to use in tall grass or brush. It took me a little time to get used to how the unit works and then to find my wires, but after a little practice I had no problems. It's been mentioned in another review (or the manual, I forget where I read this) to not turn the transmitter's power to maximum. I chose 6-7 on the knob. Then I turned the receiver on and placed the pickup foot near the wire I was going to locate with the receiver knob set as very low, just enough to tone that I was near the wire. I did this, adjusting the receiver power up as necessary, to track the wire about 10 feet from the transmitter. Then I placed the receiver's pickup foot above the wire (where I had the strongest signal) until it reached a level of 10 on the meter on the receiver. At that point it was very easy to sweep the receiver's foot left and right to trace the wire, adjusting the receiver level so that, when over the wire, the meter read 10, as I moved away from the transmitter. This unit can also be used to find the depth of the buried wire. I found it to be fairly accurate and easy to do. Anyway, I hope the instructions there help first-time users. I'm happy with the device. I now put tracer wire in all the trenches I run (water, electric, gas) on my properties (I have for the last year). Now that I own a tracker, I won't be at the mercy of borrowing one in the future.
