Page 5: Introduction
The Metrotech Model 880B Locator is a highly sensitive and discriminating instrument designed to locate only buried magnetic (iron and steel) objects, rejecting those objects that are not magnetic, i.e. aluminum cans, bottle caps, etc. The “fine tuned” sensitivity of the 880B makes it possible to locate magnetic objects at greater depths. -
Page 6: 880B: Controls & Indicators
ON/OFF/SENSITIVITY KNOB Turns instrument on and off. Adjusts the sensitivity of the 880B to the magnetic field coming from a magnetic object. Set as low as possible to avoid picking up other magnetic fields from nearby objects. -
Page 7: Checkout Procedure
ON/OFF/SENSITIVITY knob to “12 o’clock” position. The unit should display full meter deflection. 2) If neither the 880B meter nor speaker respond, replace the batteries. See Section 5.1 for battery replacement instructions. This unit has no other serviceable parts. Return to the factory for evaluation and repairs if the unit will not perform. -
Page 8: Signatures" Of Different Targets
See Figure 4-1 on page 6. If there is no indication of a signal, increase the sensitivity and search the area again. Note: For the most accurate readings we recommend that you operate the 880B within the range of 40 to 80 on the meter. “Signatures” of Different Targets The following figures illustrate typical 880B responses to common targets. -
Page 9: Typical Signatures And Operating Hints
You can develop a good sense of target depth by taking two readings from a target – one with the instrument tip at the ground surface, and one with the end of the 880B four to twelve inches above the ground. - Page 10 Figure 4-6: Large Target, Not Strongly Magnetized Figure 4-7: Narrow, Vertical Target, Not Strongly Magnetized Figure 4-8: Narrow, Vertical, Strongly Magnetized...

Page 12: Maintenance
The 880B is designed for rugged, outdoor use, but rough handling should be avoided. Keep the equipment dry, clean and free of grit. Store the 880B (in its carrying case) in a cool, dry place. Do not expose to excessive temperatures. -
