Product Q&A

• What does this locator do?
  It detects and traces buried utility lines (pipes, cables, conduits) by picking up signals from a transmitter or live conductors.

• What environments can it handle?
  Works on construction sites, streets, yards, and industrial facilities to locate utilities before digging or excavation.

• Does it find live lines?
  Yes — the SR‑20 can detect live electrical signals as well as passive and transmitter‑induced signals when paired with a transmitter.

• Is it easy to use in the field?
  Yes — intuitive controls, a clear display, and a compact folding mast make it straightforward for pros to operate and interpret results quickly.

Maintenance Tips

• Keep antenna and sensors clean — wipe with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris for optimal signal reception.

• Check and replace batteries regularly to avoid loss of power mid‑job.

• Inspect housing and mast joints for wear or damage before use.

• Store in a dry, protective case to shield electronics and connectors from moisture and impact.

• Update any firmware if available to ensure accurate performance and feature support.

• Avoid dragging the unit on rough ground to prevent antenna damage and preserve sensitivity.
