摘要: An excavator vehicle has sensors thereon at different heights. Each sensor may have a coil which is generally horizontal and detects the magnetic field generated by current in buried conductor. By detecting relative magnitudes of component parallel to ground, as detected sensors, it possible determine whether or not proximate A warning be generated, excavating tool controlled, prevent damaging
