» - to Transmitter;
13
Input signal from the lower magnetic antenna in dB. Locating is by the peak
method;
14
Volume indicator;
15
GPS state, « » or «
»;
16
Logging to the
« » track, displayed at the moment of recording;
17
BATTERY state icon;
18
Tracer axis;
19
Utility position arrow;
20
Linear distance from the point logged by last pressing of “ ” button to present
position. Calculated according to the GPS readings.
CAUTION!
The indicator of the input signal strength in dB (for locating by peak
and null) turns red when the corresponding input channels are
overloaded (see Figure 4, Pos. 13 and 8).
4.5 Locating Methods
4.5.1
Selection of operating frequency
Frequency selection shall be performed depending on operating
conditions, targets and locating method. The operator shall have
corresponding qualification and practical skills.
We recommend you to start location at low frequencies both by direct
connection and induction methods. If the necessary signal strength
fails to be reached, you may operate the device at higher
frequencies.
Low-frequency location provides maximum range of search,
especially in the wet soil, and it reduces interferences to other
utilities. At the same time, the interferences of power signals and
adjacent utilities are stronger at lower frequencies.
