SR-24/SR-20 Safety
• Read and understand this operator’s manual and
the instructions for any other equipment in use in-
cluding, but not limited to, transmitters, clamps,
and sondes. Failure to follow all instructions and
warnings may result in property damage and/or seri‑
ous personal injury�
• Do not use this equipment if operator or SR-24/
SR-20 is standing in water. Operating the SR‑24/
SR‑20 while in water increases the risk of electrical
shock�
• Do not use where a danger of high voltage contact
is present. The SR‑24/SR020 is not designed to pro‑
vide high voltage protection and isolation�
• Exposing the utility is the only way to be certain of
its location. Several utilities may be underground in
the same area� Be sure to follow local guidelines and

System Overview
Description
SR-24 is used to refer to both the SR-24 and the
SR-20 throughout this manual. The SR-24 has inte-
grated GPS and Bluetooth
®
technology. The SR-20
does not, but is otherwise functionally identical.
The RIDGID SeekTech SR‑24 receiver gives utility locat‑
ing professionals the information they need to confident‑
ly determine the position of underground utilities�
The SR‑24’s Omnidirectional antenna system measures
electromagnetic signals and calculates the signal’s ori‑
entation strength, depth, and degree of distortion or in‑
terference� The display and the multidimensional audio
cues give you a locating experience that is immediately
intuitive�
For an added degree of confidence, the SR‑24 continu‑
ously monitors the electromagnetic field for interference
from conflicting signals that could distort its shape� When
the SR‑24 detects distortion, the SR‑24 emits audio
cues and displays on‑screen guidance so that appropri‑
ate action can be taken to avoid mismarking the utility’s
position�
Built on the trusted and time tested SR‑20 platform, the
SR‑24 has integrated GPS and Bluetooth
®
technology,
giving a real‑time stream of data to Bluetooth enabled
devices, including smart phones, tablets, and high preci‑
sion GPS instruments�
