INDUCTIVE COUPLER AS A RECEIVING ANTENNA
The receiver must be in the "Manual Peak Mode" when an Inductive Coupler is being used as a receiving antenna.
On the receiver, two phone jacks are present.  One is for headphone use.  The other one is for plugging in the I.C. 49 Inductive
Coupler.  The regular receiving antennas are automatically switched out and the I.C. 49 becomes the receiving antenna.
This can be helpful in identifying one cable from a bundle.  EXAMPLE -  URD feed from a house to the transformer.  Place
an Inductive Coupler around the meter riser at the house.  This can be a transmitter fed coupler or the I.C. 56 WT Wireless
Inductive Coupler.  All of the signal will be on all three cables to the transformer.  At the terminal block junction in the trans-
former, the signal will divide down, so a lesser amount of signal will be on all of the other cables leaving the terminal block.
With the I.C. 49 being used as a receiving antenna, clamping around each cable connected to that one terminal block will
identify which cable is feeding the house where the transmitting coupler is located.  All cables should be tested with the same
sensitivity setting for comparison purposes.
