CONFORMITY TO EUROPEAN REGULATIONS

The equip

ment conforms to the following requirements set by EC

regulations, including subsequent modifications, and to the legislation set

by the member states that implement these regulations:

1999/05/EEC Radio Directive

Warning: this equipment is destined for us

e in industrial environments

(Class A apparatus). In residential, commercial and light industry

environments, this apparatus may generate radio interference: in this case,

the user may be required to operate while taking appropriate

countermeasures.

The ap

paratus is sensitive to the presence of external electromagnetic fields,

which may reduce its performance.

RADIO-FREQUENCY EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE

This product operated is usually operated at least 1 m from the operator.

Typical power density lev

els at a distance of 1 m or greater is below 1

µW/cm

(0.01 W/m

) which are far below the levels specifie

d by the

current regulations.

Thus, this product pose no health and safety risk when

operated in the

normal manner of intended use.

WARNING

CLEANING INFORMATION

Before cleaning any external parts of the apparatus, make sure

that all cables have been disconnected, including the power

supply cable. If a damp cloth is used, make sure it is not too wet,

to avoid any damage to

the electrical components of the

equipment. Wait until the equipment is totally dry before

reconnecting the cables.

The Detector Duo should be cleaned periodically using a damp

cloth.

Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents.

Do not apply liquid directl

y to the electrical contacts of the

various connectors. If a specific spray is used to clean the PC

TFT monitor, make sure it is not flammable; ion any case, do not

spray it directly on the screen, instead, spray it onto the cleaning

cloth.

DETECTOR DUO SYSTEM – Usermanual

1. INTRODUCTION

The Detector Duo is an innovative system capable of detecting tubes

and both metallic and non metallic cables buried underground.

Following standard radar principles, the Detector Duo uses a high

performance electromagnetic sensor equipped with e.m. transmitters

and receivers.

The fundamental characteristic of this system is the simultaneous use

of two frequencies, permitting the identification of both shallow and

deep utilities at the same time.

The groundbreaking control unit is extremely compact and lightweight

at just 1Kg , and is compatible with 2 ATS antennas with frequencies

of 700MHz and 250MHz located in a single container. The simplicity

of this instrument means that a brief training course is sufficient to

permit it to be used correctly.

The simple acquisition software and automatic data saving procedures

operate well on both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP

Professional. For details on the required characteristics of the

notebook PC, see Paragraph 5.1.

From an operative point of view, the Detector Duo can perfectly adapt

to all applications for pipe and cable detection in a typical roadworks

environment, both over smooth and rough ground.
