Specifi cations, Warranty & Service .........15 Introduction The Magna-Trak 102 magnetic locator is a fl ux-gate type of mag- netometer which incorporates a unique patented technology that enables the factory to balance the magnetic sensing coils to a fi nite condition. This patented method of magnetic balancing is more advanced in the state-of- the-art technology. -
Page 3: Theory Of Operation
Theory of Operation The Magna-Trak 102 locator fi nds ferromagnetic objects by sensing the magnetic fi eld radiated by the object. The locator contains two sen- sor coil assemblies that are precisely spaced and electronically balanced to achieve a near magnetic balanced operating condition. In a uniform magnetic fi... -

Page 6: Basic Operation And Description
Basic Operation and Descriptions Power On Button: Press once to activate the locator circuitry. Simultaneously, the circuitry is automatically set to the proper audio tone. Power Off Button: Press once to turn the battery power off. Volume Control: Rotate the knob to the desired audio sound level. Full volume is achieved when the knob is turned full clockwise. - Page 7 “diamond” as the signal increases due to magnetic metals. Low Battery Indicator–Although not visible under normal conditions the LCD will display a fl ashing “Low Battery” warning when the bat- teries fall below a predetermined voltage. This alerts you to replace the batteries soon.
- Page 8 However, the locator’s sensitivity to the buried object is also minimized and usually undetectable. The new Magna-Trak 102 and its “Erase” feature solves this problem by providing an Erase button; simply press this button when the interference is annoying and the metal structure is electronically erased. The audio tone returns to the “no metal”...

Page 10: Field Operation
Field Operation The recommended search position is a 45 degree angle from the earth’s surface. Scan the locator pole from side-to-side in a slow sweeping motion while walking in a uniform direction. Once the object being searched is lo- cated, pinpointing the objects location can be accomplished by holding the locator vertical and sweeping it in an “X”... -
Page 11: Signal Responses
Signal Response Below is an example of audio and LCD visual signal responses to (1) no ob- ject, (2) one small deeper metal target and (3) a second larger and shallower metal object. The LCD display indicates both the numeric digital and analog bar-graph response as the locator passes over the ground. - Page 12 Typical Signal Responses The metal handles on the septic tank cover will provide a usable signal to determine the location of the actual cover. Signal Response The metal handles on a septic tank cover Large metal objects may cause double signals as indicated. The center of the cover is found by sweeping the locator back and forth to cre- ate a ring pattern response.
- Page 13 Typical Signal Responses Water Locations: The locator can be submerged into water with the pole section to just under the plastic case. Hold the locator in a vertical position while searching to produce the best results. The joints, elbows and ends will create the strongest signals. Cast iron pipe, joints, elbows, etc.
