CD - Read (RD400PDL-2 only)

The current direction of a line can be verified by
using conductors to which the signal has coupled
such as a railway line, a continuous metal fence or
a highway crash barrier.
The CD arrows will show a reverse current
direction, with respect to the target line, on these
conductors.

Pinpointing a Sonde

Select Sonde and Peak modes, set Receiver to
Sonde frequency.
Holding Receiver blade vertically and IN LINE with
Sonde, move from side to side to obtain a Peak
response.
Note: Ghost peaks will be found either side of
main Peak response.
Move Receiver backwards and forwards to obtain
a second Peak response.
Rotate Receiver clockwise and anticlockwise to
obtain a third Peak response.
The Receiver is now directly over and in line with
Sonde.
Pinpoint and mark at regular intervals.

Depth Reading to a Sonde

Pinpoint the Sonde.
Hold Receiver vertically with blade resting on the
ground.
Ensure Sonde mode is selected.
