7. Return to the main menu screen by pushing the toggle down one time.
8. Select Configure on the main menu display, and click the trigger.
9. Select 1 Pt. Cal., and click the trigger.
10. Click the trigger (arrows will have already selected High Fre Cal).
11. Toggle right to select Y for yes, and click the trigger.
12. Follow the instructions on the display, and click the trigger appropriately.
13. Return to the main menu by pushing the toggle down two times.
14. Select Locate, and click the trigger.
15. Place the receiver at 10 ft (3 m) and verify that it reads 10 ft (3 m) by holding in the trigger. Check the
depth readings in two other locations (e.g., 5 ft/1.5 m and 15 ft/4.6 m).
16. You will now calibrate in low frequency. First, select Low Fre from the main menu screen, and click
the trigger.
17. Select Configure, and click the trigger.
18. Select 1 Pt. Cal., and click the trigger.
19. Select Low Fre Cal, and click the trigger
20. Follow the instructions on the display, and click the trigger appropriately.
21. Return to the main menu by pushing the toggle down two times.
22. Select Locate, and click the trigger.
23. Place the receiver at 10 ft (3 m) and verify that it reads 10 ft (3 m) by holding in the trigger. Check the
depth readings in two other locations (e.g., 5 ft/1.5 m and 15 ft/4.6 m).
Calibrating the receiver to the dual-frequency transmitter in single-frequency mode
This procedure is the same as that for calibrating a standard or mini Eclipse transmitter using 1-point
calibration.
1. Start up the dual-frequency transmitter in single-frequency mode (see instructions above), and place
it in the housing. Verify that the transmitter is sending proper pitch, roll, battery, and temperature
status information.
2. Power up the receiver.
3. Select Low Fre on the main menu display (toggle right past Configure), and click the trigger. The
display will then change to show Low Fre (which means the receiver is detecting the transmitter’s
high-frequency signal).
4. With the transmitter in the housing, measure 10 ft (3 m) from the centerline of the transmitter to the
bottom inside edge of the receiver below the display window (see figure above entitled “10-Foot
Measurement for 1-Point Calibration”)—this should be measured to the bottom inside edge of the
receiver where it meets the ground, not the upper edge at the display, which is wider.
5. Verify that the signal strength at 10 ft (3 m) is approximately 565, and record the value (this requires
you to go into locate mode; the signal strength is near the bottom of the screen).
