User Manual Vesala Transmitter PKT2 X2.0 ENG
14 (20)
radio transmitters that actively transmit on the same frequency at least 10 m away from the
intended drill hole. This includes other drill point locators.
Locating accuracy will be degraded if there are large metallic objects closer to the units than the
distance between the units is. Additionally, distance display may indicate longer distance than
actual. To avoid locating errors when large metallic objects are present, consider another drilling
location, perform offset measurement or multi-point measurement.

Locating accurately thru thick structures
ATTENTION
: Risk of locating error due to device misorientation
Locating drill points with misoriented devices may degrade locator performance.
Alignment errors are highlighted when locating drill points thru thick structures. When using
Transmitter PKT2 with Receiver PKR2 for straight drilling, the device bottoms should face each
other on parallel planes both sides of the structure. When wedge pieces are used for angled
drilling, the angle of both transmitter and receiver should be the same and they should be at the
same angle to the horizontal. If necessary, use a spirit level to align the wedges.

Attaching Transmitter PKT2 to structures
DANGER
: Risk of death, personal injury, or property damage
Attaching the device to an elevated position may be dangerous if the attachment fails. Notice
that moisture, dirt, surface properties, ambient temperature or aging may reduce the reliability
