Page 4: General Description
The EMTx30 transmitter produces a very strong signal for its size which can be detected through even the heaviest pipeline walls. Using the IK Trax EMTx Config application (Windows or Android) the transmitter frequency, power and pulse pattern can be configured to optimise performance and battery life. -

This manual should be read through and understood before installation and commissioning so that the operator is familiar with the equipment. Contact IK Trax immediately should any difficulty arise in the use of this equipment. ⚠... -
Page 7: Operation
4.2. FUNCTION TEST An EM receiver, such as an IT Trax EMRxEx Receiver is required to receive the signal from the transmitter. Refer to the relevant EM receiver manual for instruction on setup and operation of the EM receiver. - Page 8 ⚠ CAUTION: All EM transmitters will induce electrical currents in any conductive materials closely surrounding them which can result in a severe reduction in signal strength and/or battery lifetime. This effect can be minimised by reducing the amount of conducting material surrounding the transmitter and leaving as much of the transmitter exposed as possible.

Page 13: Turning On
DUAL RATE ENDCAP - Can be fitted to an EMTx30 transmitter in place of the PCB ENDCAP to allow an external piece of equipment (e.g. an IK Trax 7000 ARGF) to switch between two pre- configured pulse rates. With a DUAL RATE ENDCAP fitted, the unit will transmit at pulse rate 1 when pins 1 and 2 on the IE55 Connector are open (resistance >... -
