5. Position the locating target in the box. To verify the
signal is balanced through the receiver’s antennae, rotate
the receiver about the center of the display, keeping the
receiver level, and observe that the target stays centered
in the box. Contact DCI if there is a problem.
6. With the locating target in the box, mark the location
directly below the center of the receiver’s display as the
RLP.
You may hold the trigger in to obtain a reference lock but the
predicted depth value displayed will not be valid as you are
behind the transmitter.
Finding and Marking the Locate Line and
Transmitter Location
It is acceptable to mark the locate line when it is first found
between the FLP and RLP. However, it is necessary to
project a straight line between the FLP and RLP and find
where the LL crosses this line to determine the left/right
position directly over the transmitter.
Following from finding the Locate Points above:
1. Turn around and walk back toward the FLP keeping the
locating target aligned with the vertical cross hair.
2. When the locate line appears, position yourself on the
line that connects the FLP with the RLP.
