GPS and Bluetooth™:
Locators
The CXL4-DBG, DXL4-DBG and MXL4-DBG Locators
have in-built GPS and Bluetooth™ technology.
In-built GPS
The GPS technology allows the geographical position of the Locator
to be recorded. To allow this to happen the Locator will first need to
detect and then lock on to a signal from a suitable satellite. This
process can sometimes take a little time to complete but will not
interfere with the Locator’s ability to detect underground pipes
and cables.
If the GPS symbol does not appear on the Locator display
then the Locator is in the process of acquiring a GPS signal.
When the Locator has acquired a GPS signal,
the GPS symbol will flash on the Locator display.
External GPS
Locators with Bluetooth™ can be connected to external GPS units.
Consult the external GPS unit manufacturer for further instruction.
Bluetooth™
The Bluetooth™ symbol will appear on the display when
the Locator has Bluetooth™ connectivity.
More detailed information on GPS is available from
the C.Scope website at cscopelocators.com/gps/.
NOTE
GPS data is logged by the Locator and can be transferred to a PC via USB or to a smartphone via Bluetooth™.
NOTE
To acquire a GPS signal, place the Locator somewhere with a clear view of the sky and leave it turned on until
the Locator display indicates that a GPS signal has been acquired. When the Locator is used for the first time or at a significant
distance from the place it last received a GPS signal it could take appreciably longer to identify a location accurately.
