About Trace Modes
Peak: In this mode, as the antenna crosses the cable, the Receiver speaker volume increases to a maximum and the bar graph fills from both sides toward the middle. As the antenna moves off the cable path, the speaker volume decreases and the bar graph opens.
Peak with
Special Peak Mode: This mode will increase the signal sensitivity of the Receiver when the signal is too weak for normal tracing. Use special attention when using this mode because it is more susceptible to congestion than the
normal peak mode. To select Special Peak mode, press and hold 
then press 
. While in this mode the Peak flag will flash.
Note: While tracing cables in any mode, keep the Receiver handle in line with the suspected cable path.
See section Initial Receiver Configuration (Page 3) to set the power frequency to 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The Receiver can be tuned to locate 3 different harmonics of the chosen power frequency.
H50 Hz or H60 Hz (high harmonic): Best for general locating of passive power.
L50 Hz or L60 Hz (low harmonic): Works best on primary power cables. May be used when high harmonic is weak or erratic.
100 Hz or 120 Hz: For locating rectified AC power signals, often found on pipelines using impressed current cathodic protection.
When a Power frequency is selected, the Hz symbol will flash, indicating that alternate frequencies are available. To change the selected power
frequency, press and hold 
then press 
to select the next Power frequency.
