5.5 Battery
Various battery types are available for operation. Depending upon use, an operator can expect typical battery
performance in continuous operation as follows. Operating the i5000 MetroMark consumes greater battery use
compared to line locating.
Battery Type Battery Life
Li-ion Up to 30 hours
Alkaline (9 AA) Up to 20 hours
Excess heat can damage batteries, causing a rupture or ignition. Do not place batter-
ies near re, heat, or in direct sunlight.
Batteries contain hazardous material that may be harmful to the environment. Dis-
pose used batteries sensibly. Follow local recycling guidelines for disposal of similar
material.
5.6 Smart Accessory Detection
The i5000 is equipped with smart accessory detection. If attached, the receiver automatically acquires calibration
information from the accessory and thus, allows the receiver to determine what type of accessory is present.
Metrotech accessories such as speaker or headphone audio output, host serial cable, search coils, etc. are avail-
able accessory options.
5.7 Data Acquisition (Optional)
Locate data is recorded and stored in the receiver’s memory until uploaded to Metrotech’s MyLocator™ website.
Images taken from the site location and transferred to the receiver via Bluetooth can also be stored and led with
the corresponding locate data.
The i5000 receiver has the capability of storing up to 2 MByte of recorded locate data. File size will vary, howev-
er, depending upon the user’s data logging setup and standard site work order procedure for collecting the data.
Minimum le size can be as small as 100 bytes, which could be estimated to cover one month’s workload.
If a GPS antenna is installed on the i5000 receiver, locate coordinate data – latitude, longitude, and GPS clock
time are recorded as well.
