Page 3: Theory Of Operation
2. THEORY OF OPERATION The locator finds ferromagnetic objects by sensing the magnetic field radiated by the object. The locator contains two sensor coil assemblies that are precisely spaced and electronically balanced to achieve a near magnetically-balanced ≠operating condition. In a uniform magnetic field, such as the earth’s field, the two sensor coils maintain a magnetically-balanced status, because both of the coils experience the same magnetic lines of force. -

4.4 LCD Visual Display Several visual display functions, provided for ease of operation, are defined below: Digital Signal Indicator A two digit numeric display shows the signal level as related to the audio ≠signal response being heard from the speaker. At the lowest signal level, when no ferrous metal is present, a small number will be viewed (between “0”... -

buried object in search of. The only option is to reduce the sensitivity until the interference from the fence is minimized. However, the locator’s sensitivity to the buried object is also minimized and usually undetectable. The Magna-Trak 202 and its “Erase” feature solves this problem by providing an Erase Button;... -
