If there is a sound and meter reading, reduce (turn counter-clockwise) the Penetration control, or move search coil away from any nearby metal. -
Page 6: Principles Of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION When the unit is properly tuned, the M-101 will locate ½ inch (1.25 cm) diameter rebar 8 to 9 inches (20 to 23 cm) from the bottom of the search coil. A larger target can be located deeper, a smaller target shallower. -
