Receiver Operation
2.
When the receiver is turned
ON, the Sensitivity is automatically
adjusted depending upon the signal
detected from the transmitter.
3.
Select the same frequency as selected
at the transmitter for "active" locating,
or select "Radio" or "50/60 Hz" for
"passive" locating (no transmitter).
4.
Select the Operating Mode
depending whether you wish
to locate a line with highest
accuracy or longest distance,
or you are locating a Sonde
inside a pipe.
Peak mode has the highest
accuracy locates, and DIST allows
even longer distance locates.
Null allows fast tracking.
5.
The receiver only locates the line in
Peak Mode and DIST Mode when
the bar graph is climbing on the
sloped sections.
If the words "Excess Sens." appear,
turn down the Sensitivity. If the bar
graph is not climbing the sloped
section at all, turn up the Sensitivity.
Sensitivity must be increased as you
walk further from the transmitter.
6.
The depth of the line or a sonde
can be measured in the Peak
Mode or the Sonde Mode only.
7.
The receiver turns OFF automatically
when no key has been touched for
5 minutes. The audio sound can be
adjusted at the Speaker Key
(right side) for louder, quieter,
or no sound.
1.
The Receiver must be operated
facing in the direction of the
pipeline or cable.
Turned 90 degrees from the
pipeline or cable, there is
no response at all.
