5 RECEIVER - USE, ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY AND SETUP
5.1 Using the receiver
Step Action
1.
If the site is to be searched with the aid of the transmitter, the transmitter must be
switched on and set up before proceeding.
2.
Switch on the receiver.
3.
Select the desired operating mode by pressing button # 3.
The symbol for the currently selected operating mode is shown in the lower right-hand
corner of the display.
4.
Hold the receiver in front
of the body in an upright
position and as close to
the ground as possible.
When the transmitter is
brought directly over a
metallic conductor, the
maximum signal strength
will be measured. If the
receiver is moved away
from the conductor
towards the side and is
not rotated while doing
so, the signal will
decrease proportionately.
The alignment of the
receiver in relation to the
orientation of the
conductor affects the
received signal strength.
5.
Conduct a grid survey of the site.
Adjust the sensitivity of the receiver if the signal level is too strong or too weak.
6.
When a conductor is located, pinpoint the strongest signal and mark the location.
