UNPACKING

If damage has occurred in shipment, file a claim with the carrier immediately. If it is
necessary to contact your supplier or manufacturer concerning damaged or missing
items, be sure to include all information such as serial number, purchase order number
and invoice number. This will assure you of obtaining proper and expeditious service.

PRELIMINARY

Loosen the adjusting collar on the telescoping stem, and extend the stem until it is long
enough so that, when the Detector is held in a comfortable position, the search head is
as close as possible to the ground. Tightening the adjusting collar will lock the stem in
the desired position.
Please note that the inner portion of the telescoping stem is free to rotate through 1/4 of
a turn. This permits the head to be turned sideways for compact storage, but prevents it
from twisting far enough to damage the wiring inside the stem. No attempt should be
made to twist the stem past the point where it stops.

TUNING

IMPORTANT! Read carefully and follow instructions precisely!
This Detectron Valve & Box Locator, must be tuned at the same level at which it is
operated. If change in the operating level is necessary, the instrument must be "Re-
Tuned" at the higher or lower operating level. The correct operating position is when the
detection head is in the exact same plane as the surface over which it is being used.
For maximum results, keep the detection head very close to the surface under
investigation.
For proper "TUNING" follow the steps listed below in sequence:
