Automatic Daily Self Test
NOTE
When turning the Locator on for the first time it is important that no other Locator is situated within 30cm (1’)
and that no Signal Generators, Transmitters or Sondes are operating within 5m (16’) .
NOTE
Try not to switch the Locator on for the first time in an area with unusually high Power signals such as next to
an electricity transformer.
The CXL4, DXL4 and MXL4 Locators have an in-built automatic Daily Self Test function.
This tests the Locator’s circuits and receiving aerials for correct performance.
The Self Test is automatically performed the first time the Locator is switched on each day
and takes approximately four seconds.
The Self Test process is indicated by ‘TEST’ appearing on the display.
In the top left hand corner of the screen a countdown timer shows the progress
of the test.
