only buried magnetic (iron and steel) objects, rejecting those objects that are not magnetic, i.e. aluminum cans, bottle caps, etc. The “fine tuned” sensitivity of the 880B makes it possible to locate magnetic objects at greater depths.

higher the tone, the closer the object. 3 CHECKOUT PROCEDURE 1) Hold the unit (in a vertical position) 6 – 12 inches above a 10p nail. Turn the ON/OFF/SENSITIVITY knob to “12 o’clock” position. The unit should display full meter deflection. 2) If neither the 880B meter nor speaker respond, replace the batteries. See Section 5.1 for battery replacement instructions. This ...

instrument will switch to the operating mode. 2) Turn the ON/OFF/SENSITIVITY knob so that the meter reads in the “SET” position. 3) Hold the instrument in front of you and sweep it from side to side, keeping the end of the instrument as close to the ground as possible. 4) When the 880B approaches a ferrous target, the audible tone will increase, corr ...

4.2 Typical Signatures and Operating Hints You can develop a good sense of target depth by taking two readings from a target – one with the instrument tip at the ground surface, and one with the end of the 880B four to twelve inches above the ground. The response to a shallow target diminishes more rapidly than that of a deeper target. See Figure 4-4. Once a target depth has been estimated, a rough idea of it ...
