C-SCOPE DXL4 - Alarm Zone

The CXL4, DXL4 and MXL4 Locators feature an Alarm Zone™ which is a form
of automated depth measurement intended to alert the user to the presence
of unusually shallow pipes or cables.
The AlarmZone™ warning will be triggered if the Locator measures a Power,
Generator/Transmitter or All Scan signal as being less than 0.3m (12”) away.
The Locator will give an audible alert and the AlarmZone™ warning symbol
will flash on the display of the Locator.
The AlarmZone™ depth setting is shown each time the Locator is switched on.
The AlarmZone™ is factory set to be triggered at 0.3 m (12”).
This distance can be altered using the PC Toolkit.
The AlarmZone™ feature can be temporarily disabled by switching between the Generator/
Transmitter mode and All Scan mode three times in quick succession. If you have disabled
the AlarmZone™ feature, each time the Locator is switched on the display will read ‘OFF’.
AlarmZone™ will remain disabled for 30 minutes at which point it will be automatically reactivated.

Using the Locator: Alarm Zone™
WARNING There may be some pipes and cables that are not radiating a signal so the Alarm Zone™ warning will not appear.
NEVER presume there are no shallow pipes or cables present simply because Alarm Zone™ has not been triggered.
