2 vLoc3 RTK-Pro Receiver
Sonde
Specific mode for detecting and locating sonde transmitters.
Vector
configuration
Shows a cross-section of the ground and line position relative to the locator.
Plan view
Gives a plan view as if looking into the ground.
Trans. Graph
Shows a graphical representation of the peak and null field shape over a line (Active
modes only) Good for analyzing signal distortion.
Vector Screen
The Vector Screen shows a view through the ground. A plan view is also shown to help orientate the user over the line. The
Vector Screen is particularly useful where access directly over the line is not possible. The depth and horizontal displacement
distances are shown, even when not directly over the line.

Using the Vector screen
1. Apply the signal to the target line in the usual way and select the vector screen by using long presses on the “return” button
until the desired screen appears.
2. Position the locator within the approximate position of the target line. Use the plan view to help guide you towards the
target line. You can imagine that the plan view is giving you a view into the ground.
3. Position yourself so that the red target line is pointing forward/back and is centralized on the screen.
4. If the target is off the screen, an arrow will appear on the screen to help direct you to the target line.
5. The cross-sectional section of the screen will respond as the target is approached. Use the + and – keys to alter the scaling
if necessary.
6. There is a black line leading from the locator to the target line. The target is represented by a blue dot. Around the dot is
a circle; the size of the circle indicates a confidence factor. The larger the circle the less confident the indicated position.
Generally, the actual position of the line will be within the confidence circle.
