Three Methods to Verify Depth Reading
Disable HAG, set the receiver on the ground, and take another depth reading. This reading should be within
5% of the depth reading obtained with the HAG on and the receiver lifted. In the prior example, the reading
should be 8'7".
or
With HAG on, set the receiver on the ground and add the HAG to the depth shown. It should also be 8'7".
or
If HAG is not being used, note the depth on the ground and then raise the receiver exactly 3 feet. The depth
reading should increase this same distance. In the example above, the depth would be 11'7".
See
on page 64 and
on page 68 for more information on depth.
