When the SMART receiver is in “pulse mode”:
1. It detects both “grounded” and “open” circuit signals.
2. It picks up and determines strong from weak signals by the pulse frequency rate.
3. The sensitivity is ready to be locked in, by pressing the “Power/Sensitivity Lock” button.
4. It detects and displays the direction to ground or a short circuit.
While in “pulse mode” and then pressing the “power/sensitivity lock” button, the SMART receiver’s sensitivity will now be locked and no longer
be in “Pulse Mode”. To return to “Pulse Mode” press the “power/sensitivity lock button again.
The SMART Receiver’s Reception Sensitivity:
When the SMART receiver is in “pulse mode” you can lower it progressively closer to the transmitting signal and hear the increase in the pulse
frequency as it passes each of the 7 sensitivity levels. The fastest pulse frequency is when you are nearest to the transmitting signal. Once you
press the “Power/Sensitivity Lock” button the reception sensitivity is locked into that distance (plus/minus a couple of inches) from the transmit-
ting circuit.
In order to lock the reception sensitivity of the SMART receiver, two conditions must be met.
1. The SMART receiver must be in “Pulse Mode”.
2. The SMART receiver must be receiving a signal
When these two conditions are met, you can now press the “Power/Sensitivity Lock” button to lock the distance of the SMART receiver and
reception sensitivity.
When the SMART receiver’s reception sensitivity is LOCKED:
1. The reception sensitivity is held at the distance set.
2. It won’t pick signals farther than the level set.
3. It detects only the type of signal you locked into.
For instance if you are locked into an “open circuit signal”, it will not pick up “Grounded Circuit signals”. If you are locked into a “Grounded
Circuit signal” it will not pick up “open circuit signals”.
