RD8100 QUICK START GUIDE
Active Locating
– Receiver Operation
• Turn on receiver by pushing button.
• Set frequency to 33khz Line Mode, using button.
• Set antenna to peak mode using button.
Receiver indicates position of underground conductor by
showing highest bar graph and signal strength percentage with
the compass in straight up and down position as shown.
SCAN
for strongest signal.
• Circle around transmitter to detect strongest signal.
• Adjust gain using buttons.
For best response bar graph should reach maximum signal
at approximately 60%.
PINPOINT
exact location of conductor.
• Bar graph will rise and fall as blade is
moved across conductor.
• Memory bar on graph shows strongest signal response.
• Once strongest signal is located . . .
Rotate receiver as shown. Bar graph will reach maximum
signal when receiver is properly aligned over conductor
and the compass is in the straight up and down position.
Depth is displayed on screen automatically when receiver is
properly aligned over conductor.
TRACE
the path of conductor.
• Bar graph will rise and fall as blade is moved across
conductor.
• The compass shows the direction of the target
conductor relative to the receiver. Keeping the compass
straight up and down insures the receiver is aligned
properly over the conductor.
• Adjust gain using up & down arrows to have bar graph
reach maximum signal at approx. 60%.
Repeat
