4. Press and hold down the depth button. The depth will be shown on the display,
measured in metres.
5. The depth can be verified by lifting up the Locator whilst keeping the depth button
depressed. The depth indication should increase by the same amount.
Limitations of Depth Measurement - There are some situations where it is not
possible to gain accurate depth information:
A curve or bend in the route of the service.
Close to where the service changes in depth.
Near to a ‘T’ junction in the service.
At the very end point of a service.
At any point where the signal has coupled onto an adjacent service.
Close to any large metallic objects such as metal fences or vehicles.
Within 25 metres of the position of the Generator/ Transmitter if used on Induction Mode.
Under reinforced concrete.
The signal is of poor quality.
Too close to the Generator/ Transmitter or leads if used in Connected Mode.
Depth Measurement (DXL2 and MXL2 Locators only)
(
Note: MXL2 pictured
)
NOTE The depth shown will be to the centre of the service and is not the depth of cover.
This is of greater significance on large diameter pipes.
