Understanding The Display - RIDGID SeekTech SR-20 Operator's Manual

Understanding the Display

Refer to the SR‑20 Instructional Video for a demonstra‑
tion of how the display elements work during a locate
and to see how they work together to make your locates
accurate and efficient� The video is on a DVD included
with the SR‑24 manual pack or can be viewed online:

Tracing Line
The Tracing Line shows the location and direction of the
target line's signal, change in direction of the target line,
and the amount of distortion on the target line�
If the signal is clear and the detected field is undistorted,
the following occurs:
• The Tracing Line appears as a clear, single line�
• The Guidance Arrows point to the center of the
screen�
• The Guidance Line aligns with the Tracing Line�
If the Tracing Line appears fuzzy, the field may be distort‑
ed by interfering electromagnetic fields� As the distortion
increases, the Tracing Line appears increasingly fuzzy
and the audio cue increases static noise�
Guidance Arrows and the Guidance Line
The Guidance Arrows reflect the difference in the Signal
Strength measurement made on either side of the
SR‑24� They point in the direction of the strongest signal�
The Guidance Line appears between the arrows when
the receiver is aligned with the target line�
The Guidance Line gets longer as the receiver aligns
with the direction of the target line� For best guidance
accuracy, align the Tracing Line and Guidance Line be‑
tween the Guidance Arrows� As a general rule, if there
is a moderate mismatch between the Tracing Line and
Guidance Line, the Guidance Line will be closer to the
actual utility position� Any mismatch is an indication of
distortion�
