Data Logging
The vLoc-5000 has an internal memory that can be used to store location data. It can store in excess of 1000
records.
To store a record first locate a point of interest. Hold the vLoc stationary over the target and press the “i”
pushbutton. When in the depth and current screen, press the “+” pushbutton to save the data. The “Log”
number indicates the number of records stored.
If the GPS function is enabled the GPS coordinates will also be displayed and attached to any saved file. For
more information on Data logging and GPS see section 5.2.5.4.
4.1 Bluetooth
As an optional extra the vLoc-5000 receiver can be fitted with a Bluetooth communications accessory. The
Bluetooth option can be retrofitted and can be ordered at a later date if preferred.
4.1.1
Fitting the Bluetooth Module
1. Ensure the unit is switched off.
2. Use a small cross head screw driver to remove the two screws retaining the Bluetooth cover. This is
found at the back of the handle near the battery compartment.
3. Remove the cover by sliding it away from the handle.
4. Take the Bluetooth module and carefully slide it into the position the cover was occupying.
5. Replace the two cross head screws.
6. Switch on the unit and after a few seconds a grey, Bluetooth icon should appear showing that the module
is fitted.
7. If a red line is shown through the icon, this indicates that the Bluetooth module is not enabled. Bluetooth
enable is located in the user menu which is accessed using a long press of the “i” button.
8. The Bluetooth can communicate with external devices that are also Bluetooth enabled. There are many
Bluetooth enabled GPS devices but Vivax-Metrotech offer the Holux GPS as a suitable solution for those
requiring mapping to accuracies better than 5m. For those requiring accuracies better than this, for
instance submeter accuracy, the customer should contact a GPS supplier of their choice. However, as a
recommendation, one such device that delivers submeter accuracy is the Trimble ProXT.
