CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

 

RECEIVER 
A.

Headphone Receptacle 
Allows for use of headphones.  Inserting headphone plug turns receiver “On”.

B.  Power “On-Off” Switch 

“Pull” to turn receiver “On” when loudspeaker operation is desired.

C.  45

°

 Depth Level Indicator

Provides a fast and accurate means of positioning the receiver at 45

°

 for determining depth of buried pipes or cables.

D.

Gain Switch 
Battery test position gives an indication of battery condition on signal intensity meter.  “L’, “M”, and “H” positions program the 

receiver for low, medium or high gain. 
E. 

Sensitivity Control 
Controls the amount of sensitivity during operation.

F.

Visual Indicator 

 Battery Test Meter 

Gives direct visual indication of signal intensity.  Also used for visual indication of receiver battery condition.

G.

Handle Mounting Receptacle
Threaded receptacle for mounting Receiver on carrying handle.

H.

Audio Loudspeaker
Given audio indication of signal intensity.

I.

NEW!  Volume Control
Regulates volume without affecting sensitivity.

J.

Handle Mounting Receptacle
Threaded receptacle for mounting receiver on carrying handle

K.

Input Terminal
For use with accessories such as the TS/8 and the 501 Induction Clamp.

TRANSMITTER 
L.

Handle Mounting Receptacle
Threaded receptacle for mounting transmitter on carrying handle.

Battery Test Lamp
Gives lighted indication of Transmitter battery condition.

N.

Conductive-Inductive Switch and Signal Identifier.
Function switch for desired method of operation.  “Conductive” position for direct coupling to pipe and “Inductive” position for 

“On-handle” operation and inductive coupling to pipe.  Center position provides for testing battery.  Note:  This switch also activates 
the signal interrupter, allowing easier identification of transmitted signals under conditions of foreign noise and  high interference. 
O.

Power “On-Off” Switch 
“Pull” to turn Transmitter “On”..

P.

Output Jack 
Jack for attaching the ground plate cable, providing a transmitter ground for direct connection (conductive)  operations and for 

attaching ground plate and other accessories. 
Q.

Carrying Case 

ACCESSORIES 
R.  Headphones

For optional use.  Built-in loudspeaker in Receiver is automatically disconnected when headphones are used.

S.

Ground Plate and Conductive Clamp
Provides transmitter ground for direct connection (conductive) operations and means of direct coupling the transmitter to the

pipe. 
T.

Carrying Strap 
Used to operate instrument “on-handle” at ground level for greater depth penetration and sensitivity.

U.

Carrying Handle (Transmitter End) 

V.

Carrying Handle (Center Section)

W. Carrying Handle (Receiver End)
