Plan View (Refer to the vLoc3 Series manual)
Shows a picture as if you were viewing the line from above the ground.
Advantages: Automatic gain adjustment; easy finding/routing of lines with
the 3D mode.
Advantages: Automatic gain adjustment; line depth is permanently
measured, even when running offset to the line.
Vector Screen (Refer to the vLoc3 Series manual)
Shows a cross-sectional view through the ground.

Classic locate modes (refer to the vLoc3 Series manual)
Available modes: peak, peak with arrows, null, broad peak, delta
null, omni direction.
The individual modes within the classic view can be changed by a
short press (<1 sec.) on the "Enter" button. If a mode is not visible
or not desired, it can be switched on or off in the user menu (long
press on the "i" key / classic display/selection with "Enter" key).
Locate Screens**
For all subsequent locating views, except Transverse Graph
and Sonde Mode:
The distortion level is displayed on the bar graph.
Green = low interference, Blue = some interference, and Red = high
interference level, treat the locating results with caution.
NOTE:
Locating views (classic, vector, plan view,
transverse graph, and sonde can be changed by a
long press on the "Enter" key (approx. 2 seconds).

If the signal path is distorted, or the two signal peaks are not on the
centerline, there is interference in the electromagnetic field. To
determine the cable's exact position now, please refer to the user
manual, section "Distorted fields."
Advantages: Automatic gain adjustment; Optimal analysis of signal distortion.

Observe the manual's safety instructions regarding handling the
devices, measurement results, and Li-ion batteries!
Read the exact settings, evaluations, and safety instructions for
locating in the user manual!
Advantages: Simple marker location with immediate depth measurement at
the push of a button. For more details on the dual-mode with parallel line and
marker location, please refer to the user manual.

The target line is below the receiver
when both signal peaks are on the
center line and the signal is not distorted.
The centerline does not indicate the
target line but serves as an orientation
for the two signal peaks and the cable's alignment!

Transverse Plot Screen (Refer to the vLoc3 Series manual)
Analyze the field shape at a particular location.
Signal overload - When the receiver is too close to the
inductive operated transmitter or a power transformer.
Shallow cable - When the cable is possibly less than 6-inches
deep. Proceed with caution!
Swing alert - When excessively swinging the receiver. Doing
so could result in misleading information.
Overhead cable - When the signal is mainly radiating from
above distorting the below-ground signal.
Warnings - Are audible sound with a vibration of the handle. Warnings
can be activated or deactivated in the user menu.
