Procedure for
mapping utilities
without GPS
If a GPS antenna is not available, follow these steps to map the detected utilities based
on a measurement grid.
If available, mount the spray support.
Ensure that the laptop/tablet is connected to the control unit.
1. Press the power button to turn on the control unit of the DS2000.
2. Turn on the laptop/tablet and start the Ouverture.
3. Click the New Assisted Project button.
The Assisted Project Setup screen is displayed.
4. If available, load a map from a saved cartographic file or from the internet.
(Refer to " List of maps within the Layers section" within "4.3.1 The Acquisi-
tion Screen").
5. Set up the measurement grid. (Refer to " Setting up a measurement grid"
within "4.3.4 Data Acquisition with the New Assisted Project Function").
6. When the setup of the measurement grid is finished, click the Start Survey
button to start the acquisition.
The software starts calibrating the radar. As soon as the radar calibration is
complete, the Acquisition screen is displayed.
7. Check the radar and battery status. (Refer to " System Status" within "4.3.1
The Acquisition Screen").
8. Select the scan direction depending on whether the DS2000 is being pushed
or pulled. (Refer to " Acquisition Commands" within "4.3.1 The Acquisition
Screen").
9. Position the DS2000 on the line of the measurement grid suggested by the
software.
To skip the line suggested by the software, select a new line.
To edit the starting point position and the scan direction, open the Starting
Point Editor. (Refer to " Starting Point Editor" within "4.3.4 Data Acquisition
with the New Assisted Project Function").
10. Start the acquisition with the respective acquisition command. (Refer to "
Acquisition Commands" within "4.3.1 The Acquisition Screen").
Start moving the DS2000 along the scan line.
11. When a target is detected, stop and move the DS2000 back until the vertical
yellow line of the radargram is on top of the target.
12. Insert a marker and estimate the correct depth. (Refer to "4.3.5 Placing a
Target").
13. If the spray support is mounted, mark the target on the ground using the spray
paint. (Refer to " Target Commands" within "4.3.1 The Acquisition Screen").
14. When reaching the end of the scan line, stop the acquisition with the respec-
tive acquisition command. (Refer to " Acquisition Commands" within "4.3.1
The Acquisition Screen").
15. Repeat the steps 9 to 14 until the measurement grid is covered.
16. Before returning to the main menu, save a report of the survey with the
Survey Report dialogue. (Refer to "4.3.6 Generating a Survey Report").
If necessary, you can review the acquired scan data. (Refer to "4.4 Review of
Scan Data").
If necessary, you can export the scan data to be edited in AutoCad. (Refer to
"4.5 Export of Scan Data").
