Line and probe location in “Ferrolux” mode
66
Step Action
4
Use the receiver to detect the signal from the probe and then follow the
compass arrow in the centre of the display — this will take you to the location
of the probe. Depending on your initial position, however,
you may not
approach the probe via the shortest possible path
. Ensure that the receiver
is aligned correctly.
As you move toward the location of the probe, the signal level will increase
steadily. As soon as you move beyond the location of the probe, the signal
level will decrease again.
5
Determine the position at which you receive the maximum signal strength and
verify this by moving the receiver approximately half a metre to the left, right,
front and rear.
If the purpose of locating the probe is to trace a line, it is advisable to mark the
position or save it as a measuring point (see page 49). Saving the position as a
measuring point and using a connected GPS receiver (see page 43) will
enable the routing of the conduit to subsequently be depicted on a PC.
6
Push the probe a few meters further into the line so that you can still detect its
signal and locate it again. If necessary, repeat the process along the remainder
of the line's route.
