Antenna box and wheels
The antenna box contains two antenna elements, a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver
(Rx). The location of the measurement point is defined as the point in between these
two antenna elements. This is clearly marked on the antenna itself (on three sides of
the antenna box).
For easy lifting, there are larger handles (countersinks) on all sides of the antenna box.
The wheels are made of solid durable rubber and are easily detachable by pressing
and holding the quick release button on the wheel hub and then pulling the wheel and
axle out.
The rear wheel, on the left-hand side, is equipped with a pulse encoder for precise
distance measurements during a survey. When this wheel is re-attached, make sure
the wheel axle is firmly attached and secured. Dirt can prevent proper locking of the
wheel.
The encoder wheel is factory calibrated. Make sure to choose the correct wheel type
in the MALÅ Controller App settings before starting a measurement.
Power
The Easy Locator Core is powered by two internal Li-Ion batteries, 10.8V and 6.9Ah.
The batteries are located in the battery compartment behind the black lid. Make sure
the lid is properly closed and secured, to prevent water and dust to enter.
Hot swap, of one battery at a time, is possible. The Easy Locator Core can also be run
on only one battery.
The batteries are charged in an external RRC charger. Both batteries can be charged at
the same time.
If needed there is also an additional option for the RRC charger to charge the batteries
from a 12V outlet.
The 12V connector on the Easy Locator Core can be used to power the Easy Locator
Core from an external power source such as a MALÅ battery bag.
