Section 10 - Survey measurements
RD8200 locator models are capable of recording up to
1000 survey measurement records to internal memory.
When a measurement is taken and saved, the RD8200
locator will store the most relevant measurements taken
and information, such as:
Log number
Current
Gain
Depth
Signal
Phase
Frequency
GPS location (8200G model 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™ 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.
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.

10.3 Survey measurement
transmission over Bluetooth
When using the Bluetooth connection on the RD8200,
the Bluetooth module is by default kept in Off mode. This
can help to increase the locator battery life and in some
applications reduce potential interference from the
Bluetooth module.
The RD8200 locator provides users with the option to set
the Bluetooth module to On or Off. In the ON position the
Bluetooth module will be permanently ready to send
data, which can help to speed up the transfer times
compared to that of modules set to STANDBY mode
To change the Bluetooth communication channel:
1 Press the key to enter the menu
2 Press the or keys to select SMLOG menu
3 Press the key to enter the SMLOG menu
4 Scroll up or down to the COM menu
5 Press the or keys to select ON or OFF
6 Press the key to confirm your choice
7 Press the key to make the selection and return to
the main menu
