SECTION I: GENERAL Introduction The XT512 default operation mode is the "sonde" mode, but it can also operate in "passive" mode. In the sonde mode the receiver searches for the signal transmitted by a small sonde (or camera with a built-in transmitter) that has been routed through a pipe. The sonde must emit a 512 Hz, unmodulated signal to be able to be detected by the receiver.
LCD Display The LCD display has six general areas to display information to the user: a Battery Indicator, a Gain Indicator, a Mode Indicator, a Direction Indicator, a Numeric Display and a Volume Indicator. BATTERY INDICATOR - The "Battery" symbol indicates the receiver's battery status as follows: when all 3 segments inside the battery symbol are present, the battery is fully charged. When only 2 segments are present the battery has a medium charge. A single segment present signals a low battery.
VOLUME INDICATOR - The Volume indicator consists of a speaker symbol with 3 sound wave bars (as shown at right). If the volume is off, the speaker symbol with NO bars is shown (see below), for medium volume the speaker symbol with 2 bars is shown (see below) and for maximum volume the speaker symbol with 3 bars is shown (see below). Volume OFF Medium Volume High Volume Audio The receiver produces an audible indication of signal strength.
