Operation -
Begin by powering off the controller and removing
the common wire and any target wires from the controller. Never
submit any controller to voltage from any test equipment. With the
transmitter off, connect the red alligator lead to the wire you want
to trace (target wire) and the black alligator lead to the included
ground stake. Insert the ground stake into the soil or earth ground
perpendicular to the path of the wire and as far from the
transmitter as possible. Do not use common grounds such as
pipes or electrical grounds unless you have no choice. An
independent ground stake usually works better than a common
ground. If you do not have access to direct ground, and extension
wire can be used.
Make sure the transmitter and receiver are both in the "Normal"
mode for direct connection of the alligator leads.
Turn the Pro800 transmitter on. Adjust the power output knob and
increase the power until a reading between 4 and 8 is achieved. If
you cannot achieve a reading of 4, turn the unit off and retry
your grounding operation above. A good ground is crucial for
optimum operation. Soil conditions can affect this and you may
wish to moisten the grounding area. Also, re-check batteries for
proper connection and operation. Do not overpower the unit by
