To establish a communication between MAGNET Field and external SPX RD8000 cable locator, do the following steps:
Note: Before establishing the Bluetooth pairing, the Initial Setup button (Bluetooth Pin dialog) is grey. It means that MAGNET Field does not have information about cable locator communication properties. After establishing the Bluetooth pairing:
• MAGNET Field has all required information about the cable locator. The Select Depth Finder dialog always displays the Bluetooth name of the SPX RD8000 cable locator. To start the next connection with the locator, click the Connect button.
• The Initial Setup button will be enabled.
Note: If you want to establish connection with another SPX RD8000 cable locator, you need to remove all information about connection to the previous SPX RD8000 cable locator and to perform the Bluetooth pairing with a new cable locator. Click the Initial Setup button to remove all information about connection to the previous device. After closing the dialog and clicking the Refresh button, the Select Depth Finder dialog does not display the Bluetooth name of the SPX RD8000 cable locator.
Note: The cable locator can save information about connection to a single device only. If you try to use other controller for connection to the cable locator, the measured data will be not transmitted from the cable locator to MAGNET Field. In this case, after pressing , the error code “BT005” is displayed in the bottom left corner of the device screen. Please perform Bluetooth pairing procedure with MAGNET Field.
Note: If the Bluetooth protocol is not ASCII, the measured data will be not transmitted from the cable locator to MAGNET Field. In this case, after pressing , the error code “BT008” is displayed in the bottom left corner of the device screen. Please select ASCII protocol and repeat the measurement.
