Section 10 - Survey measurements
RD8100 locator models are capable of recording up to
10000 survey measurement records to internal memory.
When a measurement is taken and saved, the RD8100
locator will store the most relevant measurements taken
and information, such as:
 Log number
 Current
 Gain
 Depth
 Signal
 Phase
 Frequency
 GPS location (GPS models only or when paired
to GPS compatible devices)
These measurements, taken at specific points indicated
by you, can be used to report and map all your findings.
If the locator is a GPS model or if paired to an Android
device running RD Map™ or if paired to a Pocket PC (or
PDA) with GPS, running a compatible application such
as SurveyCERT™+ the locator will append position and
time information to the data.
NOTE: The internal GPS module needs to be switched
on and connected to the GPS satellite system.
Refer to Error! Reference source not found.for more
information about Bluetooth pairing.
10.1 Saving measurements
To save survey measurements, press the key.
To achieve accurate results the locator must be kept as
still as possible during the saving process.
The locator will always save measurements to internal
memory. If Bluetooth is switched on and the Bluetooth
survey measurements transmission is activated, the
locator will also attempt to send the saved measurement
to a paired device running a compatible application. See
chapter 12.4 for instructions on how to enable the
Bluetooth transmission to a paired device
If your paired device is out of reach, or if its Bluetooth
features are disabled, the locator will display an error
code. To avoid these errors disable the Bluetooth survey
measurements transmission or ensure that your device
is within range and correctly paired.
For more information about Bluetooth, refer to Section
12.
NOTE: A flashing depth and / or current reading display
means that the measurement is poor and should be
taken again. Poor readings may be caused by nearby
conductors or sources of electromagnetic interference.
