Expanded Mode
When the third ring of the speaker icon is dotted or broken and ‘xpnd’ appears below the speaker icon, the receiver is in “Expanded” mode. This mode is used for pinpointing a target cable or pipe. The area of response of the receiver narrows, allowing the locator to detect very small signal changes.
Depth and Current Estimate
Verifying the target path, depth and current can be helpful tools.
1.Pinpoint the cable or pipe being located.
2.Lower the tip of the receiver to the ground and press Depth [SK].
−−The depth to the target cable or pipe is displayed in the units specified in the receiver set up menu. The bold current reading is a relative current measurement. This reading can be compared to the current reading that alternately flashes with the frequency on the transmitter. The milliamp reading is an actual current measurement.
−−There are two options for measuring depth. Live depth is a continuous measurement.
−−Five depth readings can be saved with the time, date and relative current measurements.
3.Pressing Save [SK] will place each entry in sequential order in memory (M1 - M5) until five readings have been stored. The unit will overwrite saved entries in excess of five, beginning with M1.
