OPERATION OF RECEIVEROPERATION OF RECEIVER
Four Operating Modes in
Receiver
The PL-2000 Receiver has 4 operating
modes: Peak, Null, DIST, and Sonde.
1. Peak Mode
The “Peak” Mode employs the PL-2000’s
patented differential antenna to pro-
duce the most accurate locates. Depth
Measurement (+ or – 5% accuracy) is
available in Peak Mode.
2. Null Mode
The PL-2000’s “Null” mode is a fast locat-
ing tool with “left-right” guidance in a cross-
section view of the pipe and the user.
3. DIST Mode
The “DIST” Mode offers even longer
distance locating than the Peak Mode,
as much as 40% – 50% further. Locating
accuracy is less in the DIST Mode, and
Depth Measurement is not available.
4. Sonde Mode
The “Sonde” Mode allows the Receiver
to locate sewer Sondes accurately and
measure their depths correctly. Any 512
Hertz Sonde or the SubSurface 8 kHz
Sonde can be used.
Three Active Frequencies and
Two Passive Frequencies
The PL-2000 Receiver has 3 “active”
frequencies, meaning these frequencies
are transmitted by the Transmitter and
matched by the Receiver: 27kHz, 8Hz
and 0.5kHz. Higher frequencies “bleed”
off faster than lower frequencies, and
lower frequences will go longer distances
down the pipes and cables. However,
higher frequencies can be applied more
