Sonde/ Plastic Pipe Tracer - C-SCOPE L2 Series Instruction Manual

Depth Measurement using Sonde/ Plastic Pipe Tracer (end tracing only)
(DXL2 and MXL2 Locators only)
NOTE The following instructions apply equally to the Plastic Pipe Tracer in End Tracing
Mode, the Duct Sonde and the General Purpose Sondes.
1. Pinpoint the exact position of the Sonde as shown in the 'Pipe Tracing using a Sonde' section.
Take care to ensure that you are over the top of the Sonde and not over one of the two 'ghost'
signals in front of and behind the true position.
2. Rest the Locator on the ground, keeping it vertical and IN LINE with the Sonde.
3. Push the depth button TWICE and hold, on the second push, to select Sonde Depth Mode.
The word 'SONDE' will flash on the display and the depth will then be displayed.
If the word 'SONDE' is not displayed then the depth reading will not be accurate.
NOTE The depth shown is that of the Sonde and NOT of the pipe.
Depth Measurement: Error Readings DXL2 and MXL2 Locators only).
The Locator may show the following error codes when attempting a Depth Measurement:
1. 000 The service is too shallow (less than 0.20m deep) for the Locator to obtain an accurate depth. It should be possible
to calculate the depth by raising the Locator a set amount and then carrying out the Depth Measurement again.
2. 888 The service is too deep for the Locator to measure its depth or there is no signal at all present.
3. L0 The Generator/ Transmitter signal on the buried service is not strong enough for the Locator to give a reliable
Depth Measurement. Increasing the Generator/ Transmitter output or repositioning the Generator/ Transmitter
to give a stronger signal could solve the problem.
4. OL Overload. The signal is too strong for the Locator to give a reliable Depth Measurement.
Reducing the Generator/ Transmitter output to give a weaker signal could solve the problem.
