One major advantage of the Mag 8S 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 8S 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.
