Receiver working principle
The cable and pipe locator’s Success AG-317G
working principle is based on the analysis
of the electromagnetic field, created by the presence of alternating current flowing through
underground services. The electrical signals induced in the receiver sensors are amplified,
filtered, processed by the processor and then displayed on the graphical display in the form of
the utility’s position line, linear scale, digital value of the signal level amplification coefficient,
distance to the communication axis, the value of the current flowing through it, the graphic of the
signal level change and other parameters.
Due to constant improvement of produced instruments, «NPO TECHNO-AC» LLC
reserves the right to change schematics, software and user manuals, without degradation
of performance characteristics for its devices, without preliminary notification. Separate
changes in user manual content may be implemented after its reissue.

2. OPERATING MODES
2.1 “Route” mode
The ball on the screen shows
the direction in which utility
is located.
When turning on the receiver for the first time, the device will begin in route mode and the service
information will appear. Route mode is the primary screen. Below, the indications are shown, which
are dependent on the operator position near the located utility.
The receiver can’t detect the utility. Position of utility axis shows,
where the utility is situated.
Depth and current measurement
enable automatically, If the utility
indicating line is aligned
with the axis of the receiver.
When above the utility, a solid line
will appear which is perpendicular
to the utility’s direction.

Route Mode Description
Amplification coefficient
in dB
* The four-digit number “signal level” (0000 - 4100) represents the intensity of the electromagnetic
field, which is dependent on the filter frequency. The numeric value of the “signal level” becomes
greater when an operator approaches the source of electromagnetic signal of the chosen frequency.
The signal gains its maximum level when the receiver is placed strictly above the utility. The first number
of four-digit figure represents the order of the three-digit figure, generated by other figures: 0 –x1, 1- x10,
2 – x100, 3 – x1000, 4 - x10000. Dynamic range of changing signal levels is 1,000,000 times (120 dB).

When approaching the utility,
a blurred line indicates its position.

DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY OF INSTRUMENTATION
When the operator stands strictly
above the utility and the line indicating
the utility is positioned strictly in the
centre field between the two dotted
lines, an automatic depth and current
measurement is performed.
Route Mode and Depth Measurement
In graphic mode, the receiver screen is split into two segments. The upper segment indicates
utility position in 2D, and the lower segment is a moving graph of signal level change in time
according to a “maximum” method, where a maximum signal is reached when the receiver is
positioned strictly above the utility and signal decreases when the receiver is moved further away
from it. In this mode, current and depth measurement function is not available.

2.3 Graphic+ Mode
This mode is different from the ordinary graphic mode. The main difference is that the utility
axis indication line represents only 50/60Hz utilities (power cables or utilities with induced signal)
which can be accidentally met during the operation on active frequencies.

2.4 “Minimum maximum”
In “MIN & MAX” mode, the receiver screen is split into two segments. The upper segment is a
moving diagram which represents signal level changes according to the “minimum” method
– it means that the signal will be minimal when the receiver is positioned strictly over the utility. If
the receiver is moved aside, the signal level will increase.
The lower segment represents the “maximum” method diagram – the signal will be maximal
if the receiver is positioned strictly over the utility, and it will decrease if the device is moved further
away.
This mode does not allow depth and current measurements.

2.5 Modes with Graphic Representation of “Relative distance to the
Utility” (R.dist.)
In cases given above, both utilities lay beside each other. However, in this case “MIN & MAX” mode
does not allow the user to measure the depth of these cables. For this reason, it is better to use
graphic modes with indication of the “relative distance to the utility”.
While approaching the utility, the value of “relative distance to the utility” changes in the way
described on pictures, shown below:
Parameter value
«R.dist.», indicated
by «∞» symbol
Zones of utility presence

Parameter value “R.dist.”
is equal to burial depth

DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY OF INSTRUMENTATION
Utility
This parameter can have values from “0.01” to “30.00”, “>30” and “∞”. Value “∞” are indicated
when the receiver is positioned aside from the utility or when the utility is positioned above the receiver
(an example being when there are overhead voltage lines around). The parameter “relative distance
to the utility” will have its minimum value when the receiver is positioned directly above the utility
axis. In this case, this value is equal to the real burial depth of the utility.
Minimum value of the
parameter - 2.40 is equal to
real burial depth of utility.
The receiver has two modes with indication of “relative distance to the utility”: “R.dis. Graph” is
used when the “relative distance to the utility” graph and utility route are indicated simultaneously,
whilst the “MIN&R.Dist mode“ is used when screen of the receiver indicates 2 graphs (minimal
signal and “relative distance to the utility”).
2.5.1 “R.dis. Graph” mode
This mode is the same as “Graph” mode. The screen is split in two parts, an upper display
and a lower display.
• Upper Part: Route axis indication
• Lower Part: “relative distance to the utility” graph
Indication of “R.dis. Graph”:
Hint: “Hide”– return to
“Route” mode by pressing
button “<” for 1 second
Hint: – change of graph
scale in 2\4 and 8 times by
pressing “up” and “down”
arrows

DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY OF INSTRUMENTATION
When two utilities are buried close to each other while moving the receiver straight across the
utility axis in “R dist” mode, an operator will be able to see the indication shown below:
Minimal values of “relative distance to the utility” indicate the presence of the utility with some
fault because in the case of multiple utilities laying nearby, minimum signal point may move
due to coinfluence of the signals.
You can enable the “R.dis.Graph” mode from “Route” mode by pressing the “>” button or
by switching it in the “Modes” section of the receiver’s main menu.
2.5.2 “MIN & R.Dist” Mode
In this mode the screen is split in two parts. Upper part: Minimal signal graph, lower part: “relative
distance to the utility” graph in real time.
Digit indicates the minimum
signal level of far right point of the
display

You can enable “MIN & R.Dist” mode only from “Modes” section of main menu.
2.6 “2 Frequencies” Mode Window
In the “2 frequencies” mode, the cable condition and pipeline protection diagnostic is performed
using the external transmitter. When conducting works on cable route location, it is possible
to select the communication located as “my own” and perform a route location on it.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Modes are split in two sets: basic and extended. In basic set, only 3 modes are available:
“Route”,“Graph” and“R.dis.graph”. All modes are available in extended set: “Route”,
“Graph”, “Graph+”, “MIN & MAX”, “2 Frequency”, “Sonde”, “R.dis.graph” and “MIN&R.
dist.”. You can switch between two sets in menu: Settings –> Modes select.
2.7 “Sonde” mode
“Sonde” mode is used for tracing of non-metal pipelines by using a special pipe transmitter
working on 512Hz frequency. (see paragraph 12)
Dynamic Overload Protection
There is protection in the receiver which prevents
the influence of dynamic overload. When the receiver is
operated in the area with tense electromagnetic fields,
this function automatically reduces the incoming signal
and prevents the electronics of the receiver from being
damaged and notifies the user with a special message on
the screen.
