Chapter 2 Using Your Seeker X
PC communications mode
This mode is used by the Seeker Setup software to send and
retrieve configuration parameters from your Seeker X. PC is
displayed when connected.
Connect the Seeker X to your computer using a mini-USB charge /
data cable and then open Seeker Setup.
RF signal measurement mode
The RF Signal Measurement mode is the default display mode for leakage testing and is
used to accurately determine the strength of a leak, pinpoint its location, and provide a
leakage value for documentation. Measured RF leakage values can range from 1–2000 µV/m
and are displayed in large, easy-to-read numbers. A bar graph at the bottom of the display
illuminates proportionally to the signal strength of the leak.
Additionally, an audible tone will sound if the measured signal breaks squelch. The signal
breaks squelch when the RF leakage is greater than the squelch level and tag qualifiers are
also met. This tone can be used to help locate the source of the leak and, perhaps more
importantly, the potential source of ingress.
The screen to the right represents the leakage detector
measurement mode with no signal detected. Notice how no
values are displayed and the bar graph at the bottom of the
screen remains blank.
Within the leakage detector measurement mode, the antenna
icon in the lower right side of the screen flashes to indicate that
the leakage detector is currently taking measurements.
