If the tip of the SmartProbe-2 is outside the
Confirmation Zone, but not further than 4 ft from the
target cable, the 'Reposition the SmartProbe-2'
screen is displayed at one of two zoom levels
(maximum horizontal displacements of 2 ft or 4 ft).
'Position Estimate' is displayed across the screen.
If the probe tip is close to or within the Confirmation

SmartProbe-2 will transmit an intermediate result and
continue measurement. The PDL-4 displays
'Rechecking A.C.ID-M' and a progress bar.
If the SmartProbe 2 has been placed too far away
from the target cable the “Cable out of range” screen
will be displayed indicating direction and approximate
position of the cable.
If the tip of the SmartProbe-2 is within the
confirmation box but at 180

PDL-4
display will show “Current Direction Wrong".
If A.C.ID-M confirmation is not achieved the PDL-4
will display a 'Not Confirmed'.
