Taking Survey Measurements
RD8200 locator models are capable of recording measurements at up to 1000 survey
points, and optionally sending them to an external device using Bluetooth.
If the locator is a GPS model or if paired to an external device with GPS that is running a
compatible application the locator will append positional information alongside time and
date to the data, providing spatial context.
NOTE: The internal GPS module needs to be switched on and connected to the
GPS satellite system.
Saving measurements
To save survey measurements, press the
To achieve accurate results the locator must be kept as still as possible during the saving
process.
The locator will always save measurements to internal memory. If Bluetooth is switched on
and paired to a device, the locator will also attempt to send the saved measurement to a
paired device running a compatible application.
To disable the Bluetooth:
1. Press the key to enter the menu.
2. Scroll to the SMLOG menu using the

4. Press the or keys to select COM
5. Press the key to enter the COM menu.
6. Press the or keys to select OFF
7. Press the key 3 times to go back to the main locator screen.
Erasing measurements
The RD8200 locator allows you to delete all measurements. Erasing the log will wipe the
RD8200 memory and is usually recommended when you begin a new survey.
NOTE: Erasing measurements cannot be undone!

To send stored data to a paired device:
Stored data can be transferred wirelessly to a compatible device running Radiodetection's
RD Map app or another compatible application.
To send data to a paired device:
1. Ensure your paired device is switched on and running a compatible app, such as
RD Map for Android.

Automatic Usage-Logging
RD8200 locator models equipped with GPS offer a powerful data logging system which
records all the instrument's critical parameters (including GPS position, if available) and
warnings in its internal memory every second.
The automatic logging system is always active and cannot be disabled. The locator's
memory is capable of storing over 500 days of usage data, when used for 8 hours per day.
Logs can be retrieved using the RD Manager Online PC application for usage analysis
and survey validation. Refer to the RD Manager Online operation manual for further
information.
GPS
The RD8200 locator can be paired to an external GPS module (option) or use its internal
GPS module (GPS models only) to be able to detect and store its latitude, longitude and
accurate UTC time alongside its location data. This positional information can then be
appended to Survey Measurements, or the automatic usage-logging system.
The presence of GPS data allows for the data to be mapped easily and to export and
save the information directly into GIS systems.
