Introduction to the SR-60

Getting Started

Installing/Changing Batteries

To install batteries into the SR-60, turn the unit over

to access the battery compartment. Turn the knob on

the battery cover counter clockwise. Pull straight up

on the knob to remove the cover. Insert the batteries

as shown on the inside decal and make sure they

drop to full contact. Fit the cover into the case and

turn the knob clockwise while lightly pressing down to

close. The battery cover can be installed in either

orientation.

Figure 2: Battery Case

When the SR-60 is powered on, it takes a few

seconds to check the batteries. Until then the battery

level will show as “empty”.

CAUTION

Do not allow debris or moisture into battery

compartment. Debris or moisture may short

the battery contacts, leading to rapid discharge

of the batteries, which could result in

electrolyte leakage or risk of fire.

Folding Mast

To begin operation, unfold the antenna mast and lock

the folding joint into place. When locating is

complete, press the red release lever to fold the

antenna mast for storage.

IMPORTANT

Do not snap or whip the SR-60 mast to open or

close it. Open it and close it by hand only.

NOTE: Avoid dragging the lower antenna node on

the ground while locating with the SR-60. It may

cause signal noise which will interfere with

results, and may eventually damage the antenna

SR-60 Modes

The SR-60 operates in three distinct modes. They

are:

1. Active Line Trace Mode, used when a

chosen frequency can be put onto a long

conductor using a Line Transmitter, for

locating conductive pipes, lines, or cables.

2. Passive Trace Mode, used for tracing

electrical lines that are already carrying 60

Hz current (U.S.), 50 Hz current (Europe), or

radio frequencies.

3. Sonde Mode, used for locating Sondes in

pipes, conduits, or tunnels that are non-

conductive or cannot otherwise be traced.

Note that the two Tracing modes, Active and Passive,

are identical except for the frequencies used. No

transmitter is used in Passive Trace mode.

Display Elements

Beginning operators or experienced operators can

use the SR-60 with equal ease. While the SR-60

offers advanced features that make the most

complex locate easier, many of its features can be

turned off or hidden, making the SR-60 simple to use

in basic locating in uncomplicated situations.

The “basic features” of the SR-60 are on by default.

They can be customized easily to suit the user’s

requirements. The use of the various elements

displayed is covered in later sections of this manual.
