Automatic and manual gain

The u-LOCATE receiver has the ability to operate in an automatic or manual
gain mode. In the automatic gain mode, the sensitivity of the receiver is adjusted
automatically, based on the strength of the detected signal, to produce a relatively
constant and strong signal strength indication. In the manual gain mode, the user
canadjustthesensitivityupordowntosuitdifferentlocatingscenarios.

Directional indication

The u-LOCATE receiver is equipped with directional indicators (arrows). These
visual indicators help the user locate the pipe or cable by showing which direction
he/she should move in order to get closer to the target. These indicators are not
available in the Sonde mode.

Depth measurement

The u-LOCATE receiver has the ability to measure the approximate depth of the
target pipe or cable being traced. When a depth measurement is made, the bottom
tip of the receiver must be touching the ground. Depth measurements should only be
made when the directional indication shows both arrows and the center bar. Special
considerations are required for the Sonde mode.
