Omniseek; Confirming Accuracy - RIDGID SeekTech SR-20 Operator's Manual

OmniSeek

OmniSeek passively traces the line by simultaneously
searching through the following three frequency bands:
• Less than 4 kHz
• From 4 kHz to 15 kHz
• Greater than 15 kHz
When OmniSeek is enabled, the SR‑24 searches for sig‑
nal energy in all three broadband ranges simultaneous‑
ly and displays a Tracing Line for each range that has a
usable signal�
The signal that is closest to the receiver is the primary
signal and its frequency range is displayed above the
OmniSeek icon on the screen� The bold Tracing Line and
other display readings will reflect its characteristics�
OmniSeek Frequency Range
Primary Tracing Line
Secondary Tracing Line
If the SR‑24 detects signals in the other two frequency
ranges, it displays dashed Tracing Lines to indicate the
estimated position of these secondary signals� If the re‑
ceiver is moved, focus automatically shifts to the closest
signal�
Secondary Tracing Lines
Secondary Tracing Lines make it easier to detect the
presence of multiple utilities� If one or two Secondary
Tracing Lines appear out of alignment with the Tracing
Line, there may be another utility in the area� Secondary
Tracing Lines that are out of alignment could also indi‑
cate the presence of signal energy on the same utility in
different frequency bandwidths�

Confirming Accuracy

To confirm the accuracy of a locate, check that all of
the following are true:
• The Guidance Arrows and Guidance Line are
aligned with the Tracing Line�
• The Tracing Line shows little or no distortion�
• The Proximity Number and Signal Strength
maximize when the Tracing Line crosses the
map center�
• The measured depth increases appropriately
and the Tracing Line remains aligned when the
Depth Verification Test is performed�
Refer to the SR‑20 Instructional Video for a demonstra‑
tion of how to confirm accuracy of the locate and make
your locates accurate and efficient� The video is on a
DVD included with the SR‑24 manual pack or can be
