II
Tracing line (Lower Antenna Signal)
– shows the
apparent direction of the field as detected at the lower
antenna.
Display Elements: Passive Trace Mode
The screen elements in Passive Trace Mode are the
same as those seen in Active Line Trace mode.
NOTE! Mode is determined by the type of target source
(Sonde or Line). For example, selecting the
512 Hz frequency from the Sonde mode section
of the frequency menu puts the SR-20 into
Sonde mode. (A frequency must be selected
from the correct category if it appears in more
than one category, such as 33 kHz).
Default Frequencies
The Master Frequency Menu contains a large set of fre-
quencies, but only some of these are made currently
available. They are made “Currently Available” by check-
ing them in the Master Frequency Menu,
as described on
page 23. The frequencies which are currently available ap-
pear on the Main Menu when the Menu Key is pressed.
“Currently Available” frequencies can be checked in the
Main Menu, in which case they will appear when using the
Frequency Key. If they are unchecked in the Main Menu,
they will not appear when using the Frequency Key to
cycle through frequencies. Frequencies which appear in
the Main Menu and are checked for activation are called
“Checked-Active”.
Frequencies that are “Checked-Active” can be cycled
through simply by pressing the Frequency Key
(See Fi-
gure 9). A frequency chosen by pressing the Frequency
Key becomes the “In Use” frequency.
Currently available frequencies in default setting include:
Sonde Mode
• 512 Hz
Active Line Trace Mode
• 128 Hz
• 33 kHz
• 1 kHz
• 8 kHz
• 262 kHz
Passive Line Trace Mode
• 60 Hz (Power)
The use of these features is described in the Sonde
Locating, Active Line Tracing, and Passive Line Tracing
sections.
