Armada Technologies Pro900 LOCATOR USER GUIDE

Tracing Wire - After the transmitter has been properly connected and
verified to have a good ground with power set, turn on the receiving
wand. The receiver defaults to the most recently used mode with null
antenna reception at every start-up. Place the receiver near the
operating transmitter. A beeping sound should be heard indicating that
the receiver is working properly. A steady high pitched tone could
indicate that you are too close to the receiver or your batteries are low.
A fading or scratchy signal may indicate a low battery.
There are two antenna methods for tracing a path; Null or Peak. The
receiver defaults to Null every time it is turned on. Null means an
absence of signal when pointed directly at the cable in question and
louder to the left and/or right of it a few inches. Peak means the
opposite, that the signal is loudest over the cable. You may select
which mode suits you best. In general, the closer you are to the cable,
the louder the signal should be except for directly over the cable in the
Null mode. The modes can also be flipped while tracing to give a better
indication of path trace quality.
In Direct Clip-on mode begin the wire trace by sweeping the area
approximately 5-10 feet from the transmitter. Begin by searching for the
null response. Until the null is acquired, you may receive audible
responses of varying degrees. Follow the signal response until the
signal is lost while marking the path as you trace.
In the Broadcast mode the signal saturates a circle for at least 20 feet
around the transmitter, so you must begin by walking out of that area,
then circling to find the traced wire or pipe.
NOTE The receiver and transmitter must always be in the same
mode to operate correctly.
The selector arrows on the receiver control panel regulate the volume
level of the receiver, both headphones and external speaker.
Additionally, the signal bar on the receiver display will indicate the signal
level visually. After connecting and turning on the transmitter and the
receiver, point the receiver toward the ground in the direction of the
cable and listen for the beeping signal.
