Data Collection
1. Press and hold Start (single beep).
2. Move unit forward.
3. Slow down if signal sounds when moving.
4. Press Mark when desired to insert marks in data.
5. Release Start to finish (double beep).
Start/Kill Switch
The Start switch also has a deadman switch function. The FCC
requires that when the operator stops interacting with the system
for ten seconds, the transmitter is to be shut off. This will also
close the data file that you have been acquiring. Thus you will
need to keep the Start switch on the handle depressed at all times
during data collection.
Note
:
• Pressing Start one more time will erase the data.
• Print the data or transfer them to a PC if you wish
to keep the record before collecting the next line.
• The HandyScan can store 15 m (50 ft) of data. The unit will
stop collecting data after this amount has been reached.
You will need to start a new file to resume collecting data.
• The HandyScan displays axes in metric units only, but the
same data can be later displayed using RADAN NT
software on a PC in metric or English units.
