How deep can you locate?

Signal can be detected to approximately 3m/10ft when the line has been energized with the transmitter signal.

Passive signals on lines are shallower, and not suitable for measuring depth because accuracy is questionable due to the signal being present on more than one line.

Measurement of depth is to the centre of the pipe of cable. Depth of cover is necessarily less than the reading, possibly critically so, on large diameter pipes.
