Notes
As it is more easily distinguished from other signals, the
pulsed signal is helpful for locating when there is
interference within the frequency range of the
transmitter. This also helps to conserve the batteries.
Note that depth measurements cannot be made using
a pulsed signal
This signal type has to be activated before a taking a
depth measurement.
0.1 W (prolongs battery life)
0.5 W
Notes
In this mode of operation the transmitter's signal is
emitted through the integrated antenna and is thereby
inductively coupled with any metallic lines located
within a certain radius.
In this mode of operation the signal is directly coupled
with a metallic line via the measurement cable which is
inserted into the connectors on the front panel of the
transmitter. Transmitter clamps, alligator clips or power
socket adaptors (for example) may be used to connect
the measurement cable to the lines.
