WARNING! Direct connection to live conductors is POTENTIALLY LETHAL.
Direct connections to live conductors should be attempted by fully qualied
personnel only using the relevant products that allow connections to energized
lines.
WARNING! The transmitter is capable of outputting potentially lethal
voltages. Take care when applying signals to any pipe or cable and be sure to
notify other technicians who may be working on the line.
WARNING! Reduce audio level before using headphones to avoid damaging
your hearing.
WARNING! This equipment is NOT approved for use in areas where hazardous
gases may be present.
WARNING! When using the transmitter, switch o the unit and disconnect
cables before removing the battery pack.
WARNING! The RD8200SG locator will detect most buried conductors but
there are some objects that do not radiate any detectable signal. The RD8200SG,
or any other electromagnetic locator, cannot detect these objects so proceed
with caution. There are also some live cables which the RD8200SG will not be
able to detect in Power mode. The RD8200SG does not indicate whether a signal
is from a single cable or from several in close proximity.
WARNING! Batteries can get hot after prolonged use at full output power.
Take care while replacing or handling batteries.
WARNING! Only use charging equipment provided by Radiodetection. The
use of alternative chargers may cause a safety hazard and/or reduce the life of the
battery.
CAUTION: Do not let your battery completely discharge as this may reduce its
life or damage it permanently. If you are not using your equipment for a long
period charge them at least once a month.
WARNING! Do not tamper with, or attempt to disassemble the battery
packs.
CAUTION: If battery failure is suspected or if the battery shows any sign
of discoloration / physical damage return the entire unit to an authorized
repair center for investigation and repair. Local, national or IATA transport
regulations may restrict the shipment of faulty batteries. Check with your
courier for restrictions and best practice guidelines. Your local Radiodetection
representative will be able to direct you to our authorized repair centers.
NOTE: The charging temperature range is 0 to 45 °C, 32 to 113°F. Do not attempt
to recharge your batteries outside this temperature range.

eCert and Self-Test
The RD8200SG locator is safety equipment which should be regularly checked
to ensure its correct operation.
eCert provides a thorough test of the RD8200SG’s locating circuitry, and supplies
a Radiodetection Calibration Certicate when a positive test result is obtained.
To run an eCert, the locator should be connected to an internet-enabled PC on
which the RD Manager Online software is installed.
Refer to the RD Manager Online operation manual for further details. Additional
purchase may be required.
RD8200SG locators incorporate an Enhanced Self-Test feature. In addition to the
typical checks for display and power functions, the RD8200SG applies test signals
to its locating circuitry during a Self-Test to check accuracy and performance.
We recommend that a self-test is run at least weekly, or before each use.
