In the adjustment, the number is shown in the
middle of the display window.
Press or for 3 seconds to start the function
automatically. The number turns into flashing cursor(as
shown on the left), the instrument automatically adjusts the
Signal strength to about 70% of full scale. The relative
intensity of the signal is indicated by the bar graph(8) above
the display window and the number(9) below the graph.
Depth/Current（5）
key is used to measure the depth of the buried
pipeline, meanwhile it could measurethe current value in
the target line. In the current measurement process,
regardless of the original use of which positioning mode,
the system automatically switches to the peak mode.
The depth measurement unit can be selected by
metric or imperial from the menu.
Metric Units: cm when the depth of the pipeline is less
than 1 meter.
When the depth is more than 1 meter, the depth
display unit is m.
Inch unit: feet.
Current unit: When the current is more than 1A, the
display current unit is A, when the current is less than 1A,
the display current unit is mA.
Note:
1, in order to measure the exact depth of the depth, the receiver must be maintained in the
vertical position of the work.
2, in order to improve the accuracy of the depth of the measurement, it is not suggested to
use the valley mode, the wide-peak mode is recommended for pipeline depth measurement.
