Page 10: Seeker Hl Features
When utilizing the higher +60 dBmV transmit level the Seeker HL is able to locate signal leakage down to a normalized leakage level of 0.1 uV/m with a single flexible antenna; making it possible to locate and repair signal leakage levels far beyond the measurement range of conventional leakage detectors. -
Page 11: Squelch Operation
Squelch Operation Squelch level is the RF signal threshold that the Seeker HL uses to determine the validity of the signal. The signal “breaks squelch” when the RF leakage is greater than the squelch level and tag qualifiers are met as well. The receiver will not alarm for signals below the squelch level. - Page 12 Seeker HL User’s Guide Page 12 Document Num., Rev. 2 May 2018...
