Check Above Ground Range. 1. Scan the Jobsite Transmitter/FO With the transmitter off, select from the Main menu, Frequency Optimization then...
Page 3 - 3 - Your locator can only detect active interference, not passive interference, such as rebar. Lower frequency bands tend to perform better around passive interference. Middle bands can perform better in deeper bores and may have longer steering capability. High bands have slightly less signal strength, but tend to offer better performance around active interference such as power lines.
Page 4 - 4 - 5. Calibrate Both Bands Calibration in an interference-free environment is required after any optimization. Place the Tx in a housing on level ground 10 feet from locator as shown. Calibration From the Main menu, select > 1 PT CAL and calibrate each new band.
