Schonstedt Instruction Manual

5 DEPTH - When the proper conditions to measure depth are present, pressing this

switch will display the target's depth on the LCD (after a delay of 2 seconds). The

depth will continue to be displayed on the LCD, along with the word "DEPTH", for

as long as the switch is depressed. If the switch is pressed and quickly released,

the depth will show on the LCD momentarily. The Rex is factory set to display

depth in feet and inches or in meters. If the depth cannot be determined due to a

weak signal or interference signal by other nearby utilities (congested

underground) the LCD will show 3 dashes "---".

6 SONDE - If the sonde mode is available, pressing this switch will cause the receiver

to go to the sonde mode of operation. If the receiver is already operating in

sonde mode, pressing this switch will cause the receiver to stop the sonde mode

of operation.

7 FREQ - An operating frequency can be selected by depressing this switch

consecutively until the desired frequency is indicated on the display of the

receiver. Some frequencies are uniquely associated with the mode of operation

selected (conductive, inductive or inductive clamp); therefore the user should

ensure that the same frequency is selected on both the receiver and the

transmitter.

Visual and Audible Indicators

The information display areas for the receiver are easy to understand. In addition, the

receiver has audible indicators to facilitate operation in heavy traffic or noisy areas.

All visual indicators for the receiver are on the LCD display, which has six general

areas to display information to the user: a Battery Indicator, a Gain Indicator, a

Frequency/Mode Indicator, a Direction Indicator, an Alphanumeric Display and a

Volume Indicator.

 BATTERY INDICATOR - The battery symbol indicates the receiver's battery

status. When all 3 segments inside the battery symbol are present, the

battery is fully charged. When only the 2 bottom segments are present,

the battery has a medium charge. When only the bottom segment is

present, the battery has a low charge and should be replaced. If there

are no segments present, the battery is extremely low and you should

replace it immediately.

 GAIN INDICATOR - The "(Auto)" legend next to the "GAIN" legend

indicates that the gain is in the automatic mode. In this mode, the

receiver adjusts its sensitivity as a function of the strength of the

detected signal. No bar graph is shown in this mode.

If the "(Auto)" legend is not visible, the receiver is operating in the

manual gain mode; therefore, a means to show the user the relative

gain setting is necessary. The bar graph indicates the relative

strength of the gain, with each bar roughly representing one tenth of

the full scale available.
