1. Creating Trace Templates

The easiest way to create a Trace template is using the 3M™ Dynatel™ PC Tools Software. The 3M™ Dynatel™ PC Tools software is available free of charge at www.3M. com/dynatel under the Software section; 2550/2573/2250M/2273M/1420 Locator PC Tools xx.x.x (EXE xx.xMB).

•Create a TRACE template.

•Save and download the template to the receiver.

Up to four Trace Templates can be stored on the Receiver. Each Trace template is limited to 132 user editable characters.

The trace template appears in table format: two columns with six lines.

The first column is limited to 8 characters and the second column is limited to 14 characters. In addition to the 132 character table, the receiver will send a sequence number, the frequency, the measured depth of the conductor, and the current to the GPS.

2. Select Com Port Setting

Menu [6] + Com [SK:3] + GIS [SK] (or PDA [SK])

If the GPS device has the ability to send NMEA coordinates on its com port and has the ability to receive information at 4800 baud, set the receiver’s com port to GIS.

If the GPS device only has the ability to receive information, set the com port of the receiver to PDA mode.

Log Prompt = On: Before the receiver returns to locate mode, a verification display will display on the receiver with the trace template information that will be sent to the GPS device. This information can be modified and confirmed. Press OK to send to the GPS device.

Log Prompt = Off: When the receiver returns to locate mode, the trace template and locate information will be sent automatically to the GPS device.

3. Sending Path Information to GPS Device

1.Establish communication with the GPS device.

2.Set COM port on receiver.

3.Locate target utility.

4.Measure depth to target utility.

−− If Log prompt is activated, when the Locate/OK [5] button is pressed (or after a five second delay), a display will appear that displays the path information.

5.Press Locate/OK [5] to send the information to the GPS device, or Exit to abort the exchange.
