APPLICATION
Use to ground all tracer wire dead-ends. Grounding tracer wire is
essential in completing the electrical circuit needed for accurate locates.
The Ground Rod pulls a low-voltage charge supplied by a utility locate
transmitter down the tracer wire. The charge travels back to the
transmitter through the earth to complete the circuit.
Where system access is needed, the red Ground Rod wire connects to a
Copperhead SnakePit® or Cobra™ Access Point. Where access is not
needed, the ground rod wire can connect directly to tracer wire with the
provided Twist-on Connector.
