Designed for the Fisher TW6

This ground rod assembly is designed for use with the:

Fisher TW6 Pipe & Cable Locator

First Texas lists it directly in the official TW6 parts and accessories catalog.

The TW6 supports both inductive and conductive locating methods. This accessory is specifically useful when operating in conductive tracing mode, where the transmitter is connected directly to the utility being traced.

How the Ground Rod Assembly Works

In conductive tracing, the transmitter needs a complete electrical circuit.

The ground rod is inserted into the soil to create the ground side of that circuit, while the wire assembly connects the TW6 transmitter to the pipe, cable, or other conductive utility.

The included alligator clips make it easier to establish those connections in the field.

A proper grounding point can help improve:

• Signal strength

• Trace consistency

• Utility identification

• Locating precision

Ideal for Pipe & Cable Tracing

The Ground Rod Assembly is useful when tracing conductive buried utilities such as:

• Metallic water lines

• Gas lines

• Electrical conductors

• Telecommunications lines

• Other conductive pipes and cables

Actual tracing performance depends on soil conditions, utility conductivity, connection quality, transmitter setup, and environmental interference.

Quick Field Setup

First Texas describes the ground rod as being designed for quick and easy setup.

The basic workflow is:

1. Insert the grounding rod securely into the ground.

2. Connect the appropriate lead to the grounding rod.

3. Connect the other lead to the pipe or cable being traced.

4. Connect the assembly to the TW6 transmitter.

5. Operate the locator in the appropriate conductive tracing mode.

Always follow the Fisher TW6 operating manual for the proper connection sequence and safe utility-locating procedures.
