Receiver
Set US Menu
The ultrasonic (US) function measures the receiver’s height above the ground. This distance is then
subtracted from the total magnetic distance from the receiver to the transmitter to determine the depth of
the transmitter below the ground’s surface (see figure below).

Use of Ultrasonic Measurement to Determine Actual Depth
Changing the Ultrasonic Setting
1. Select Set US from the main menu, position the receiver at the desired height above the ground, and
click the trigger one time. The display will show the new ultrasonic setting.
NOTE: You must have the US setting at “0” if are placing the receiver on the ground to take
depth readings.
2. When you are satisfied with the US setting, toggle down once to return to the main menu.
