eCert and Self-Test

The RD8200SG locator is safety equipment which should be regularly checked

to ensure its correct operation.

eCert provides a thorough test of the RD8200SG’s locating circuitry, and supplies

a Radiodetection Calibration Certicate when a positive test result is obtained.

To run an eCert, the locator should be connected to an internet-enabled PC on

which the RD Manager Online software is installed.

Refer to the RD Manager Online operation manual for further details. Additional

purchase may be required.

RD8200SG locators incorporate an Enhanced Self-Test feature. In addition to the

typical checks for display and power functions, the RD8200SG applies test signals

to its locating circuitry during a Self-Test to check accuracy and performance.

We recommend that a self-test is run at least weekly, or before each use.
