Inductive Mode - RIDGID SeekTech ST-305R Operator's Manual

Inductive Mode

Disconnect the lead clips from any external
conductors before switching the ST-305/R
to Inductive Mode. If the lead clips are con-
nected to an external conductor and the
ST-305/R is switched to Inductive Mode, a
warning appears and operator override is
required.
Do not use clips and leads in Inductive
Mode. The ST-305/R automatically sets the
frequency to 33 kHz the first time Inductive
Mode is used. After the first use, the ST-
305/R automatically uses the frequency last
used in Inductive Mode. The two frequen-
cies available in Inductive Mode are 8 kHz
and 33 kHz.
NOTICE
Do not place two ST-305/
Rs in Inductive Mode
with the power on within
3 m [10 ft] of each other.
The output of each ST-305/R can over-
load the electronics and damage one or
both units.
Use the ST-305/R in Inductive Mode by fol-
lowing these steps:
1. Place the ST-305/R so the white ori-
entation arrows located on top of the
ST-305/R are aligned with the target
conductor.
2. Press the Power key
the ST-305/R. Press the Inductive
Mode key to toggle the ST-305/R
between Direct Connect Mode and In-
ductive Mode.
Ground both ends of the utility for the
best signal induction.
3. To power on and use the receiver,
refer to the receiver's Operator Man-
ual. Ensure the frequency on the re-
ceiver matches the ST-305/R. If the
receiver signal increases when held
near the ST-305/R, it is correctly pick-
ing up the transmitted frequency.
4. After completing the locate, press the
Power key
