F. Expanded Mode
VOL [13] (press up arrow)
When the third ring of the speaker icon is dotted
or broken and ‘xpnd’ appears below the speaker
icon as shown, 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. Press the Speaker
Volume Control [13] ([12] for 2550 locator) key
to activate the "Expanded" mode.
8. Depth and Current Estimate
Verifying the target path, depth and current can be helpful tools.
• Pinpoint the cable or pipe being located.
• Lower the tip of the receiver to the ground and
press DEPTH [4].
− 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 the relative
current measurement. This reading can be
compared to the relative current reading that
alternately flashes with the frequency on the
transmitter to help identify the target cable/pipe.
The highest relative current value will be the
target cable/pipe and will compare closest to the
transmitter relative current value. The milliamp
reading is an actual current measurement.
− There are two options for measuring depth.
Live depth is a continuous measurement. 1-Shot
Depth is an averaging of the depth reading over
a short period of time. When in 1-Shot mode,
the unit will average the depth reading for three
seconds, and then display the result on the
display. Press DEPTH [4] to alternate between
the two modes.
− Five depth readings can be saved with the time,
date and relative current measurements.
• Pressing Mem Select [SK] and then 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.
