Figure Two:
Figure two shows the locator in
Guidance Mode and directly over the
target line. In this position the left and
right arrow heads will be displayed
simultaneously, target position indicator
in the centre, the signal strength value
at its maximum, speaker tone silent and
both depth and current readings at their
minimum.
Figure Three:
Figure three shows the locator in
Guidance Mode and positioned to
the right of the target line. In this
position the Proportional Right arrow
is displayed, indicating the direction
in which the locator should be moved
towards the target line. The target
position indicator indicates the target
positioned to the left of the locator and
can be used to guide the locator towards the target line. The signal strength value
will be displayed, indicating the strength of the signal from the target line. In this
position the tone from the speaker of the locator will be pulsed.
With the aid of the compass, the locator can be positioned in line with the target
line enabling both depth and current readings to be displayed.
As the locator is moved towards the left, the tail on the proportional right arrow
will reduce, the target position indicator will move from the left, towards the
centre, the pulsing tone from the speaker will reduce and the numerical signal
strength value will increase.
Use the proportional arrows, target position indicator and signal strength value to
guide the locator directly over the target line.
Figure Four:
With the locator powered up, a
momentary press of the On/Off key
will change the mode of operation to
Signal Strength Mode. In this mode,
the compass, signal strength, depth
and current will be available. The
proportional left/right arrows and
target position indicator will not be
available. See figure four.
