Key Features
Enhanced Signal Application
The PA570 is designed to apply a transmitter signal to a target conductor without requiring a conventional direct electrical connection.
When properly positioned, the clamp transfers the locating signal to the conductor so it can be traced using a compatible Pipehorn receiver.
Up to 5-Inch Conductor Capacity
The PA570 can accommodate target conductors measuring up to 5 inches (12.5 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for a variety of professional utility locating applications.
Designed for Pipehorn 800 Series Transmitters
The PA570 is specifically designed for use with Pipehorn 800 Series Transmitters, providing compatibility with Pipehorn's professional utility locating equipment.
Reinforced Clamp Jaws
The clamp features reinforced jaws designed for rugged field use.
Proper jaw closure is important because the clamp must close completely around the target conductor for effective signal application.
Threaded Extension Fitting
A threaded fitting allows the PA570 to be connected to a compatible extension handle or hot stick when additional reach is required.
Remote-Control Jaw Actuator
The PA570 incorporates a remote-control jaw actuator, allowing the clamp jaws to be operated while using an appropriate extension handle.
This is useful when the target conductor is difficult to access directly.
Professional Utility Locating Accessory
The PA570 provides utility locating professionals with an alternative signal-application method when a conventional direct connection cannot be conveniently made.
Rugged Field Construction
The clamp is designed for professional field use with durable construction suitable for utility locating and construction environments.

Important Operating Notice
For effective signal detection, there must be no common or cross-bonding of the cables between the clamp location, where the signal is applied, and the receiver location, where the signal is detected.
Common or cross-bonded conductors can affect signal behavior and may prevent this locating method from working successfully.
The clamp jaws should also be fully closed around the target conductor to ensure proper signal application.
Safety Notice
The PA570 is professional utility locating equipment. Operators should follow all applicable electrical safety requirements, workplace procedures, and Pipehorn instructions when working around electrical conductors or other potentially hazardous utilities.
Work involving electrical systems should only be performed by appropriately trained and qualified personnel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Pipehorn PA570 Signal Clamp used for?
The PA570 is used to apply a locating signal to a target conductor when a conventional direct connection is not feasible. A compatible Pipehorn receiver can then be used to locate the signal carried by the conductor.
Q2: Which transmitters are compatible with the PA570?
The PA570 is designed for use with Pipehorn 800 Series Transmitters.
Q3: What size conductor can the PA570 fit?
The clamp accommodates target conductors up to 5 inches (12.5 cm) in diameter.
Q4: Can the PA570 be used with an extension handle?
Yes. The PA570 includes a threaded fitting and remote-control jaw actuator that allow it to be used with a compatible extension handle or hot stick.
Q5: Does the PA570 require calibration?
No calibration requirement is specified for the PA570. Before operation, ensure the clamp is properly connected to the compatible transmitter and that its jaws are fully closed around the target conductor.
Q6: What can cause a weak or unsuccessful locating signal?
Signal performance can be affected by factors including improper clamp closure, conductor configuration, grounding conditions, and common or cross-bonding between conductors.
Q7: Why is common or cross-bonding important when using the signal clamp?
The specified clamp method will only be successful when there is no common or cross-bonding of cables between the point where the clamp applies the signal and the point where the receiver detects it.
Q8: Does the PA570 require batteries?
The PA570 itself is a signal clamp accessory. The supplied information does not specify a battery requirement for the clamp. The compatible Pipehorn transmitter provides the signal used during locating.
Q9: Does the PA570 require maintenance?
Routine inspection and cleaning are recommended. Keep the clamp jaws free from dirt and debris and make sure they can close properly before use. Inspect the clamp for wear or damage before field operation.
Q10: Can the PA570 be used around electrical conductors?
The PA570 is intended for professional utility locating applications. Because electrical conductors can present serious shock and electrical hazards, operators should follow Pipehorn instructions and all applicable electrical safety procedures. Work around electrical systems should only be performed by appropriately trained and qualified personnel.
