8. Depth and Current Estimate
Verifying the target path, depth and current can be helpful tools.
•
Pinpoint the cable or pipe being located.
•
Lower the tip of the receiver to the ground and
press
DEPTH
[5].
−
The depth to the target cable or pipe is displayed
in the units specified in the receiver set up menu.
The bold current reading is a relative current
measurement. This reading can be compared
to the relative current reading that alternately
flashes with the frequency on the transmitter.
The milliamp reading is an actual current
measurement.
−
There are two options for measuring depth.
Live depth is a continuous measurement. 1-Shot
Depth is an averaging of the depth reading.
When in 1-Shot mode, the unit will average
the depth reading for three seconds, and then
display the result on the screen. Press Depth [5]
to alternate between the two modes.
− Five depth readings can be saved with the time,
date and relative current measurements.
•
Pressing
Mem Select
[SK] and then
Save
[SK] will place each entry in sequential order
in memory (M1–M5) until five readings have been stored. The unit will overwrite
saved entries in excess of five, beginning with M1.
•
Optional step: Press
Clear All
[SK] to delete all
stored depth information.
− The operator may select a specific memory
location to store the depth readings by pressing
Mem Select [SK]. When the preferred location
appears on the display, press Save [SK]. The
display and memory location will populate with
the current information.
−
Each memory location can be reviewed by
pressing Mem Select [SK].
•
Press
TRACE
[3] or DEPTH [5] to return to Locate
mode, or wait until receiver automatically returns
to the Locate mode.
