select pushbutton on the main receiver pad is used to toggle through the frequencies defined using the setup
menu. The operating frequency will be shown at the lower right side of the display. You can change this
selection at any time using the setup menu.
The initial frequencies set at the time the unit is supplied are “Power”, “Radio” and the frequencies used by
the transmitter purchased. See the transmitter section for suggestions of which frequency is best suited to
specific applications.
To select the frequencies you wish to use regularly – enter the setup menu
by pressing and holding the “i” pushbutton for 2 seconds. Use the “+” and
“-” to select the word “Frequency” – then press the “M” pushbutton to
display the list of available frequencies.
The “+” and “-” pushbuttons are used to navigate the list of frequencies. To
add a frequency to the “Frequently used list” press the “M” pushbutton and
a dot will appear in the circle alongside the frequency. To deselect a
frequency press the “M” pushbutton and the dot will disappear. Once your selection is completed press “i”
pushbutton once to return to the setup menu, and again to exit the setup menu.
3.10 Information Pushbutton (Depth & Current)
Pressing the “i” (information) pushbutton will display the depth to the center of the radiated signal and a
measurement of the current (press the pushbutton briefly – remember if you press and hold – you enter the
setup menu. If you do enter the setup menu – press the “i” pushbutton again to return to the locating screen –
then try again).
The display shown above shows Long/Lat positional informaiton. This is only displayed when the equipment
is paired with a valid GPS system.
IMPORTANT
When locating a cable or pipe (“Line”) – the instrument should be in “Peak”
mode and the depth and current measurements should only be taken with the
bottom of the receiver standing on the ground and directly in line with the
target line.
IMPORTANT
When locating a Sonde – set the mode to Sonde - then the instrument will
automatically be in “Peak” configuration. Depth measurements should only be
taken with the bottom of the receiver standing on the ground and at ninety
degrees to the Sonde.
The accuracy of depth and current readings depends on the quality of the radiated signal being located. If the
signal is symmetrical, the depth reading will be accurate to within 5% of the actual depth. If the signal is
distorted, depth readings will be less accurate. When taking depth measurement, always hold the receiver at
90
