Why are lines jumping all over the screen while tracing with RIDGID Camera Accessories?

  If lines are 'jumping' all over the screen while tracing, it could be due to the SR-20 not picking up the signal or interference. To resolve this: * Ensure the transmitter is well connected and grounded. Point the SR-20 at either lead to confirm a complete circuit. * Try a higher frequency. * Connect to a different point in the line. * Switch to inductive mode. * Identify and eliminate any noise sources (e.g., bonded grounding). * Ensure SR-20 batteries are fresh and fully charged.

  If lines are 'jumping' all over the screen while locating a Sonde, consider the following: * Check the batteries in the Sonde to ensure they are working. * The Sonde may be too far away; try starting closer or perform an area search. * Verify the signal by placing the lower antenna close to the Sonde. * If using cast iron or ductile iron lines, increase the Proximity Threshold and try lower settings of Signal Focus Control to improve focus on weaker signals.
