SERIES

TX OUTPUT JACK

The Red/Black Cord, Coupler and 

f

lexIcouPler

 connects here to create a circuit on the buried utility.  

FREQUENCY SELECTOR

 

This button toggles through the available frequencies. The selected frequency is displayed on the LCD. 

When dual frequency transmission options are selected, indicated by the F1 & F2 icons to the right 

large numeric segments, the frequencies will flash from one to another. 

SIGNAL INDICATOR (visual & audible)

The Signal Indicator symbol flashes to indicate signal output. 

The quick triple beep audible tone indicates the circuit is open and no signal is being transmitted. A 

steady continuous beep indicates a closed circuit and signal is transmitted . When the indicator blinks 

4 times per second, it is indicating a nearly short circuit. When the indicator blinks 1 time every 10 

seconds, it is indicating a nearly open circuit.

ON/OFF &  OUTPUT SIGNAL LEVEL CONTROL

The ON/OFF & OUTPUT SIGNAL LEVEL CONTROL turns the unit on. With a short press it will adjust 

the power output from the  Transmitter. There are 3 selections on the standard power settings. Holding 

down the Output Signal Level button for 2 Seconds will turn the unit off. 

High Power Output is a SHOCK HAZARD - Lethal voltages at the transmitter's output. Turn off 

transmitter before touching test lead or any un-insulated conductor. Make connection to ground and 

target conductor before turning on transmitter. 

SIGNAL INFORMATION SELECTOR

The unit can display the relative resistance, current and voltage of the transmitted signal. The resistance 

is based on the feed back from the selected frequency and is not an actual impedance meter. The 

selections can be toggled by pressing the 

s

IGnal

 I

nformatIon

 button.
