Figure 1.

Fields on the screen:

  1. Field to enter the distance driven when calibrating.

  2. Displays the total number of radar pulses whilst operating.

  3. Displays the calibration result as the number of radar pulses/m.

  4. Resets the number of radar pulses and starts pulse counting.

  5. Stops pulse counting, saves the number of radar pulses and calculates the calibration result in field C.

Calibration

  1. Measure a specific distance (at least 100 m).

  2. Press (A) at the starting point to reset the pulse counter.

  3. Drive the selected distance with the machine lowered to the drilling position and press (B) at the stop point

  4. Press the field (E) and enter the distance driven in metres.

  5. Press button (C). Number of pulses per metre driven is calculated and automatically updated in field (F).
