Trouble Shooting Guide
PROBLEM PROBABLE FAULT LOCATION
SR-60 locks up during
use.
Power the unit off, and then back on. Remove the batteries if the unit will not switch off.
If batteries are low, replace them.
SR-60 will not pick up
the signal.
Check that the correct mode and frequency is set. Examine circuit for possible
improvements. Relocate transmitter, change grounding, frequency, etc.; or modify
Signal Focus Control settings (page
32).
This indicates that the SR-60 is not picking up the signal or there is interference.
Make sure that the transmitter is well connected and grounded. Point the SR-60 at
either lead to be sure that there is a complete circuit.
Try a higher frequency, or connecting to a different point in the line, or switching to
inductive mode.
Try to determine the source of any noise and eliminate it. (Bonded grounding, etc.)
While tracing, lines
are “jumping” all over
the screen in the
mapping display.
Check SR-60 batteries are fresh and fully charged
Check the batteries in the Sonde to see that they are working.
Sonde may be too far away; try starting with it closer in if possible, or do an area search.
While locating a
Sonde, lines are
“jumping” all over the
screen.
Verify signal by placing lower antenna close to Sonde. Note – Sondes have difficulty
emitting signals through cast iron and ductile iron lines.
Distance between
Sonde and either Pole
is not equal.
Sonde may be tilted or there may be a cast-iron-to-plastic transition.
Unit acts erratic, won’t
power down.
Batteries may be low. Replace with fresh batteries and power on.
Power the unit off and then back on. Display appears
completely dark or
completely light when
it is switched on.
Adjust the LCD screen contrast.
There is no sound. Adjust the sound level in the sound menu. Verify Proximity Signal is greater than zero.
SR-60 will not power
on.
Check orientation of batteries.
Check that the batteries are charged.
Check to see that the battery contacts are OK.
Unit may have blown a fuse. (Factory service is required.)
