Controls - SPX Radiodetection Schonstedt u-LOCATE User Manual

To measure depth, simply place the tip of the unit on the ground and press the
button when the signal strength is at a peak. The achievable depth depends on a
number of factors, but typically it is possible to read depth up to 5 to 15 feet (1.5 to
4.2 m).

switch the receiver to the manual gain mode.
AUTO - When the receiver is operating in the manual gain mode, pressing the UP and
DOWN arrows simultaneously will switch the receiver to operate in the Automatic gain
mode. In this mode the receiver adjusts its sensitivity as a function of the strength of
the detected signal.
DEPTH - When the proper conditions to measure depth are present, pressing this
switch briefly will display the target's depth on the LCD (after a delay of 2 seconds). The
depth will continue to be displayed on the LCD, along with the "depth symbol", for as
long as the switch is depressed. If the switch is pressed and quickly released, the depth
will show on the LCD momentarily. The user may select the unit of measurement used
for depth. Depth may be displayed in Imperial/English units (feet and inches, by default)
or metric units (meters, with two decimal digits of accuracy). The default configuration
is Imperial / English units. It is configurable by the user by pressing the Up arrow and
Frequency buttons simultaneously. If the depth cannot be determined due to a weak
signal or interference signal by other nearby utilities (congested underground) the LCD
will show 3 dashes "---".
