1 Safety notes
To avoid possible harm, read and follow these instructions.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock, fire, or property damage
Drilling a structure may damage a dangerously live electric cable or a pressurised pipe. Before
drilling a structure, make sure the structure doesn’t contain dangerously live cables or
pressurised pipes. If their existence cannot be excluded, the whole installation containing the
structure should be de-energized and de-pressurised before drilling begins. In some cases, a
decrease in locating accuracy may move the intended drill point.
ATTENTION: Risk of locating error due to electromagnetic conditions
Large metallic objects, radio transmitters or industrial equipment may degrade locating
accuracy or may prevent locating completely. Before attempting to locate a drill hole, take care
that there are no large metallic objects at or near the intended drill hole. Large metallic objects
include radiators, sheet metal, foil, and wire mesh among other things. Shut down or move any
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.
ATTENTION: Risk of locating error due to device misorientation
Locating drill points with misoriented devices may degrade locator performance. Instructions
for properly orienting the devices are provided in section 4: Operating receivers.

2 General description
2.1 Intended use
Drill Point Locator Receiver PKR2 and SPL2 SmartPlug Locator are used to locate positions and
measure distances thru non-conductive structures such as walls, floors, and ceilings before
drilling or cutting. A separate transmitter unit is needed to mark the desired location.
Transmitter PKT2 is included in PK2 Drill Point Locator kit with Receiver PKR2. In addition to that,
PKR2 may be used with smaller transmitters SP15 SmartPlug or TX15 Plug Transmitter. SPL2
SmartPlug Locator is compatible with these small transmitters only. Drill Point Locator Receiver
PKR2 and SPL2 SmartPlug Locator are intended for professional use in dry conditions.

3 Commissioning
3.1 Inserting and replacing batteries
1. Clean and dry the device with a soft cloth.
2. Gently press battery cover and slide towards bottom end.
3. Remove old batteries.
4. Insert three new 1.5 V LR03 (AAA) alkaline batteries or FR03
lithium batteries. FR03 batteries should be used when
ambient temperature is below -10°C. Observe that battery
polarity matches markings on the battery compartment.
5. Put battery cover back on and gently close it.
3.2 Attaching felt pads
Felt pads may be attached to the bottom of the receiver at designated
spots to avoid scratches on structures and to ensure smooth
movement.
