3 The locator’s LCD will display SEND momentarily and
then OK if the transfer is successful.
4 If the transfer is unsuccessful, the LCD will display an
error code. Refer to table 11.1 for a list of codes and
their meaning.
If the process fails, you may be out of range or there may
be an error in the connection. Move closer to the
transmitter and retry the procedure. If the connection
continues to fail, return to the transmitter and reset the
connection using the procedure described in Section 11.
NOTE: If you are locating a sonde frequency, an iLOC
command to a paired transmitter will automatically set that
transmitter to standby to eliminate interference from the
transmitter.
Adjusting power
iLOC lets you adjust the transmitter’s power output
remotely; you can also put the transmitter into standby
mode and then wake it remotely.
To adjust the power output:
1 Transmitter power options are located in the TXOUT
menu on the locator. Press and hold the key to
display the TXOUT menu
2 Press the key to enter the TXOUT menu
3 Scroll up or down through the power output options;
these are:
STDBY: Transmitter standby mode, the
connection is still active but the output is disabled
LOW: Low power output
MED: Medium power output
HIGH: High power output
BOOST: Temporarily boosts transmitter power
output to its maximum level
4 Once you have selected the mode you want, press the
key to confirm
5 Press and hold the key to select the new setting
and exit the menu
6 Press the key once to send the settings to the
transmitter
NOTE: Once you have stored the
transmitter power setting in the locator, the
locator will change the transmitter to that
setting when you change the frequency with
the locator.
Sleep / wake the transmitter
To help you prolong battery life you can put the transmitter
in standby mode (sleep), and reactivate it again, using the
locator.
To put the transmitter into standby mode, set the TXOUT
menu on the locator to STDBY using the “Changing
transmitter power output” procedure described above.
This will disable the transmitter output.
To re-activate the transmitter output, select any power
mode from LOW to BOOST using the same procedure.
If the process fails, you may be out of range or there may
be an error in the connection. Move closer to the
transmitter and retry the procedure. If the connection
continues to fail, return to the transmitter and reset the
12.7 SideStep™
If you are using a preferred locate frequency and having
difficulty locating the utility, interference could be affecting
the locate signal. SideStep allows the locator to change
the locate frequency by several Hertz.
