Why isn't the TW82P receiver showing a depth reading?
Answer: If the receiver isn't displaying a depth reading, it's likely because there’s no signal at the testing location.
Here’s how to troubleshoot:
1. Disconnect the ground rod assembly from the system.
2. With the transmitter turned on, stand about 3 feet away and point the receiver toward the transmitter.
3. Check the signal reading:
- If it’s under 500, the transmitter may not be sending a signal and likely needs repair.
- If it’s above 500, the issue may be with the ground rod assembly.
4. Inspect the ground wires — especially the red and black wires near the clips — for damage.
5. To test for a broken wire, hold the clamp in one hand and the wire in the other, then pull them apart:
- If the wire stays tight, it’s good.
- If the outer plastic stretches, the inner wire is likely broken and needs replacement.
Following these steps will help identify why the signal isn’t being detected and whether the issue is with the
transmitter or ground connection.
