How this Manual is Organized
This manual is divided into the following chapters:
• Chapter 1, “General Information” provides contact information and describes how this
operation manual is structured.
• Chapter 2, “Seeker D Introduction” introduces what the Seeker D is and what it does.
This chapter discusses the practical application, connections and controls of the Seeker
D. Finally, this chapter discusses the battery of the Seeker D and how to update your
rmware.
• Chapter 3, “Seeker D Operation” describes how to congure and operate the Seeker D.
• Chapter 4, “Leakage Testing” describes the steps needed to perform leakage testing
using the Seeker D.
• Chapter 5, “Appendix” shows the technical specications of the Seeker D as well as any
error codes that may appear on the Seeker’s display screen.
Optional Software
Although the Seeker D comes precongured and ready to use from the factory, the following
software is required for advanced conguration of the Seeker D:
• Seeker Setup is used to congure the Seeker D, enabling the operator to assemble
les containing channel frequencies, squelch levels, and other settings. Users can
efciently download congurations to one or more leakage detectors.
The following software is required for leakage data analysis using a Seeker Mobile
Communications Adapter (MCA):
• Leakage Analysis Workshop (LAW) is software that manages the storage and
retrieval of leakage information collected by vehicle mounted Seeker GPS systems.
Installed on a server, it receives leakage data uploads via the Internet/LAN, Wi-Fi
access point or cellular connection. Data stored in LAW server may be displayed on
maps or as text, used to generate leakage work orders, or downloaded to other VIAVI or
third-party applications.
