For example:
Figure 1: If the target path is to the right of the
receiver, and running parallel to the operator, the
right arrow will display.
Figure 2: If the target path is to the left and in front
of the operator (not running parallel to the receiver)
the arrow will point toward the top left side of
the screen.
Figure 3: When the receiver crosses the target path,
a solid line will appear, instead of arrows, indicating
the target path and its orientation to the receiver.
Before marking target path, always use directional peak or special peak mode to verify
location.
Special Peak
MODE + (Spl Pk) [SK Toggle]
Special Peak Mode turns on only the peak antenna closest to the ground. Special Peak
Mode is used in applications such as very deep cable, or when the signal is too weak for
normal or directional peak tracing.
Inductive Peak (IndPk)
MODE + IndPk [SK Toggle]
If you cannot make a direct connection, or use the 3M
Dynatel
Dyna-Coupler clamp
to apply a locating signal on the target, use the induction method. This method uses the
internal coil of the transmitter to generate a magnetic field.
The induction mode of the receiver is a mode in which the upper antenna of the receiver
is tuned to minimize distortion from the magnetic field of the transmitter.
