Larg e  Mass Indica tor  
The  Large  Mass  Indicator  will  light  any  time  the 
instrument  reads  it  is  over  a  large  mass  of  metal.  
Large  masses  of  metal  would  generally  include 
manhole  covers,  valve  lids,  valve  risers,  vault  lids, 
etc. 

Note:    The  deeper  the  large  mass,  the  less  likely  it  is  to  be 
indicated as a large mass on the display (eg. A manhole cover 
at  three  feet  deep  can  easily  be  located,  but  will  not  be 
indicated as a large mass.  A manhole cover at three feet will 
read very similar to a silver dollar buried six inches deep.

Chang ing  the  Ba tteries 

 

-

 

When  the  ON/Battery  light  flashes  during  operation, 
the batteries must be replaced with new ones. 

 
-

 

Place the 7200, in extended position, on the floor. 

 

-

 

Place  the  heel  of  your  palm  on  the  top  end  of  the 
chassis,  and  grasp  the  ledge  of  the  handle  cavity  in 
the battery cover with your fingertips. 

 

-

 

Pull up on the cavity ledge with your fingertips.  The 
spring-loaded  cover  will  “pop”  out  of  the  chassis.  
Fully remove the cover. 

 

-

 

Remove  the  batteries  from  both  the  cover  and  the 
chassis.    Replace  them  according  to  the  polarity 
markings molded into each part.  The 7200 uses eight 
“AA” size, 1.5V alkaline batteries. 

 

-

 

Replace  the  cover  as  it  was  before,  inserting  the  tab 
first.  Seat  the  battery  cover  completely  by  pressing 
down  the  lower  corners  of  the  cover  with  your 
thumbs.  The  cover  will  “pop”  into  place  when  it  is 
properly installed. 

 

-

 

Activate  the  instrument  to  make  sure  that  the 
batteries  are  properly  installed  and  making  good 
contact. 

 

 
7.

 

Testing the 7200 

 

You should have received two metallic discs with your 
locator.  One of which is ferrous and the other is 
composed of non-ferrous metal. 
 
-

 

Place both discs on the ground (free of other metals 
or piping) two to three feet apart. 

 
-

 

Start in motion mode to locate both discs. 

 

-

 

Switch to pinpoint mode – as you pass over the discs, 
one will light only the metal side of the display while 
the other disc will light the metal and iron sides of 
the display.
