System Overview

Description

SR-24 is used to refer to both the SR-24 and the
SR-20 throughout this manual. The SR-24 has inte-
grated GPS and Bluetooth
does not, but is otherwise functionally identical.
The RIDGID SeekTech SR‑24 receiver gives utility locat‑
ing professionals the information they need to confident‑
ly determine the position of underground utilities�
The SR‑24's Omnidirectional antenna system measures
electromagnetic signals and calculates the signal's ori‑
entation strength, depth, and degree of distortion or in‑
terference� The display and the multidimensional audio
cues give you a locating experience that is immediately
intuitive�
For an added degree of confidence, the SR‑24 continu‑
ously monitors the electromagnetic field for interference
from conflicting signals that could distort its shape� When
the SR‑24 detects distortion, the SR‑24 emits audio
cues and displays on‑screen guidance so that appropri‑
ate action can be taken to avoid mismarking the utility's
position�
Built on the trusted and time tested SR‑20 platform, the
SR‑24 has integrated GPS and Bluetooth
giving a real‑time stream of data to Bluetooth enabled
devices, including smart phones, tablets, and high preci‑
sion GPS instruments�
