2-Point Calibration for Eclipse Dual-Frequency Transmitter
To calibrate the receiver using the 2-point calibration method with the dual-frequency transmitter in the
ground, you will perform two calibration procedures—the first for low frequency and the second for high
frequency.
The first calibration procedure is for high frequency:
1. Verify that you see Low Fre on the main menu screen. If you see High Fre, then select it and click
the trigger so that the menu option will change to Low Fre.
2. Select Configure, and click the trigger.
3. Select 2 Pt. Cal., and click the trigger.
4. Select High Fre Cal, and click the trigger.
5. Toggle to select Y for yes, and click the trigger.
6. Position and stabilize the receiver at least 6 in. (152 mm) above the ground directly over the
transmitter; be sure that the locate line (LL) is aligned with the horizontal cross hairs to ensure you
are directly over the transmitter (refer to the Locating section for details on the LL).
7. Click the trigger when the display instructions indicate.
8. Raise the receiver at least 30 in. (762 mm) and stabilize it, then click the trigger.
9. To exit the calibration function and return to the main menu, push the toggle down two times.
10. Verify depth readings by going into locate mode.
The second calibration procedure is for low frequency:
1. Select Low Fre from the main menu screen, and then click the trigger to change this option to display
High Fre.
2. Select Configure, and click the trigger.
3. Select 2 Pt. Cal., and click the trigger.
4. Select Low Fre Cal, and click the trigger.
5. Toggle to select Y for yes, and click the trigger.
6. Position and stabilize the receiver at least 6 in. (152 mm) above the ground directly over the
transmitter; be sure that the locate line (LL) is aligned with the horizontal cross hairs to ensure you
are directly over the transmitter (refer to the Locating section for details on the LL).
7. Click the trigger when the display instructions indicate.
8. Raise the receiver at least 30 in. (762 mm) and stabilize it, then click the trigger.
9. To exit the calibration function and return to the main menu, push the toggle down two times.
