HPTX
Peak
Highest signal strength directly over conductor
with gradual decline side to side. Receiver must
be oriented perpendicular to conductor.
Pinpoint Peak
Highest signal strength directly over conductor
with sharp decline side to side. Receiver must be
oriented perpendicular to conductor.
Null
Lowest signal strength directly over conductor
with sharp increase side to side. Receiver
orientation not required.
Li n e Lo c at e Mo d e s
Auto Left/Right Guidance
Broken tone to left side of conductor with solid
tone to right side of conductor. Receiver must be
oriented perpendicular to conductor.
Sonde
Highest signal strength directly over sonde with
gradual decline side to side and front to back.
Receiver must be oriented parallel with sonde.

To turn unit on: Short press on/off/power-output button
To turn unit off: Long press on/off/power-output button (3 sec)
To engage transmitter from “off” idle: Short press frequency button or
short press on/off/power-output
To change frequencies: Short press frequency button

Direct Connect Method
Engaged when red/black cords are plugged into output jack.
Available frequencies for use: All frequencies.

Coupler Induction Method
Engaged when inductive coupler is plugged into output jack.
Available frequencies for use: 8kHz and higher.
Transmitter Induction Method
Engaged when nothing is plugged into output jack.
Available frequencies for use: 33kHz and higher.
Use the lowest frequency that effectively completes the locate.
Lower frequencies are less likely than higher frequencies to jump on adjacent non-target
conductors, but lower frequencies don’t conduct well on higher resistant conductors.
High frequencies transmit better on higher resistant conductors, but they are more prone to
interference.
