One major advantage of the Mag 3 system is its
simplicity. Once the receiver and transmitter are
paired, the operator is not required to push any
buttons to pinpoint the location, direction or depth of
the transmitter.
The Mag 3 receiver locates the transmitter by pinpointing
three specific locations along the transmitter’s magnetic
field. The front locate point (FLP) ahead of the transmitter,
the rear locate point (RLP) behind the transmitter and the
locate line (LL) above the transmitter.
For the most accurate location and depth of the
transmitter, both the FLP and the RLP should be located
before locating the LL. The front and rear locate points,
when lined up, indicate the exact direction of the
transmitter. If the transmitter is level, the locate line will be
located directly in-between the two points.
