Receiver Setup

Note: Key descriptions can be found on the side of the Receiver.

Press to turn the Receiver on.

Press to select the 50/60 Hz power frequency (see section on Selecting Passive Power Frequencies on Page 12) for passive locating; otherwise, select the same frequency as the Transmitter.

Press to adjust the speaker volume as needed: off, normal, high, or high-expanded. The high-expanded setting causes the audio to cut off below a certain threshold.

Press to select a locate mode (Peak , Null , or Diff

). To select Special Peak mode: from Peak mode, press and hold

then press to toggle between Peak and Special Peak modes. While in Special Peak mode, the peak flag will flash.

Note: Peak, Special Peak, or Null mode may require re-setting the

Receiver gain. Press when the bar graph remains either fully open or fully closed. This is not necessary in differential mode since the unit automatically adjusts theReceiver gain.
