Receiver Modes
Directional Peak (DirPk) [SK Toggle]
In DirPk mode, four peak antennas are used to analyze the magnetic field
pattern. The bar graph indicates signal strength and the directional arrows
sense the edges of the magnetic field. The left/right arrows will indicate the
direction to the nearest cable that is in-line with the receiver handle.
As the antenna crosses the cable or pipe, the receiver speaker volume
increases to a maximum, the bar graph [11] fills from both sides toward the
middle, and the numeric signal strength [10] increases. As the antenna moves
off the target path, the speaker volume decreases and the bar graph opens. Use
the bar graph and the numeric signal indicator to locate the exact target path.

Directional Null
(DirNull) [SK Toggle]
In DirNull mode, as the operator approaches the cable or pipe, the numerical
signal will increase then fall sharply as the receiver crosses the target cable
or pipe. The bar graph fills from both sides toward the middle and the
Note: When field distortion, due to congestion, is affecting the receiver
the left/right arrows may not coincide with the bar graph and signal level.
Use the maximum numerical signal strength to target the cable or pipe.
Once the target path has been located, the arrows at the top of the screen will
indicate the location of the target path in relationship to the receiver.
