The tapes are self-coloured and overprinted with a warning message. The printing is protected by a 'scratch-resistant' covering of transparent plastic.

INSTRUCTIONS / USES

Designed to mark, locate and help protect underground utility lines.

The tape serves the dual purpose of (1) allowing location from above ground and (2) providing a visual warning to prevent third party damage.

INSTALLATION

Lay the tape in the trench approx 300mm above the pipe / cable and as close to the ground surface as possible. At one end, the tape should be brought to the ground surface to allow future connection with the location equipment.

JOINING

The wires are simply pulled from within the plastic tape and twisted together to maintain electrical continuity. A more secure join can be achieved by crimping the wires together.

LOCATION

The tapes can be detected using even the least sophisticated pipe & cable location sets. Refer to the locator manual for precise details, but in general, the Signal Generator needs to be connected to

the wires within the tape and then Locator needs to be switched to the 'Generator' mode.

BENEFITS / KEY FEATURES

> Two tracer wires rather than a single tracer - double the detection ability

> Wavy wires - allows the wires to stretch by 25%. Helps compensate for underground movement.

> Easy to join - no tapes, staples, scratching off insulation etc - electrical continuity is maintained by

simply twisting the wires together. A more secure method is to use special joining crimps

> Scratch proof surface - maintains the legibility of the printing warning message

> PVC Free
