Depth Measurement Locator Function Checks
(DXL3 only)
Depth Measurement
An area clear of services and metal structures should be chosen (beware of reinforced concrete car parks).
A search with the DXL3 in all modes will help confirm the absence of other services. An insulated cable
or wire (not supplied) over 20metres (70’) is laid out on the ground and the far end connected to a ground
stake and earthed. The near end is connected to the red Direct Connection Lead.
The black Earth Lead should be laid at right angles to the 20 metre (70’) cable and earthed at the far end
with the Earth Stake. The plug should be inserted in the Direct Connection Socket of the Signal Generator.
The Signal Generator is turned on to the lowest Output Power Level and Continuous Mode. The Locator
should then be held vertically above the longer cable, approximately midway along it and the depth can
then be measured. It is best to make a few readings at different depths.
NOTE These Function Checks are approximate only. If a deterioration in performance is suspected for any reason,
the equipment should not be used. It should be returned to C.Scope or a C.Scope Authorised Service Centre
for more thorough investigation.
