RD8100 QUICK START GUIDE
Passive Locating
– Receiver Operation
• Turn on receiver by pushing button.
• Using button. Set frequency to
Power, Radio,
CPS or Passiv
(Combined Power & Radio)
Receiver indicates position of underground conductor by
showing highest bar graph and signal strength percentage.
SCAN
for strongest signal.
Circle around area of search to detect strongest signal.
• Adjust gain using buttons.
For best response bar graph should reach maximum signal
at approximately 60%.
PINPOINT
exact location of conductor.
• Bar graph will rise and fall as blade is moved across
conductor.
• Memory bar on graph shows strongest signal response.
• Once strongest signal is located . . .
Rotate receiver as shown. Bar graph will reach maximum
signal when receiver is properly aligned over conductor.
Depth is displayed on screen automatically when receiver is
properly aligned over conductor. Exceptions . . .
Depth in Power
– Only available on PDL
Depth in CPS
– Only available on PDL
Depth in Radio & Passiv
– Not Available
TRACE
the path of conductor.
• Bar graph will rise and fall as blade is moved across
conductor.
• Adjust gain using up & down arrows to have bar graph
reach maximum signal at approx. 60%.
Repeat
PINPOINT
