The universal or super probe can be attached to the holder now. Afterwards the sensor cable must be connected. Your device is now ready for use. Fig.: 4-part demountable universal probe Fig.: Telescope bar Fig.: Telescope bar - disassembled KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...
Shows battery voltage (BAT) or current value sensor (SENSOR or ECO). CALIBRATION Shows calibration value. Bluetooth-connection is ready, if green LED flashes and bound if LED lights up constantly Fig.: front of electronic unit (GPA 1000) KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...
Then turn to the position SENSOR or ECO to read the sensor or calibration data on the screen. The sensor data should always lie between 1-4, the calibration approx. 2.5 (before the calibration automatically is set it could temporarily show other values).

You will recognize this if the LED lights up permanently. GPA 1000 is now operational. For further usage you only should notice that Bluetooth is active and the GPA 1000 device is turned on (above proceedings must not be repeated).
Search with the super probe is complex because the magnetic direction of the probe needs to be adjusted. Beforehand it is absolutely necessary to choose the search direction in such a way that values between 1-4 are displayed. KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...
The track length can be selected variably (during the search after large objects or excavations longer track lengths can be chosen). For the search after small items shorter track lengths are recommended. KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...
4.4.3 End of measurement After the last track has ended, you are going to be questioned if you want to store the measurements. With the O.K.-button the measurement is stored internally on a place intended for it. KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...
Areas to be measured should not have electric fields (like high voltage cables or ground wires), strong mineralising or wet grounds because they influence the measuring. The dryer the soil, the more precise are the results. KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...

4.5.1 Searches with rectification If you have chosen the search in rectification, you should come back to the starting point after completion of each track and press the start button (for the measurements of the second track). KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...
For a precise measurement you should hold the search speed in a stable manner while you are walking the tracks. This way objects can be detected at the same spot during counter direction. For exact measurements track lengths between 5 to 10 Meters are advantageous. KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...

100. The measurement begins after activating the [Start] button. With the [Cancel] button program termination is possible anytime. Furthermore, one can switch between consensual and contrasensual movement. The measurement can be released either manual or time-controlled. An appropriate hint occurs. KTS-Electronic GPA 1000...
