Finding Firmware Version
It is possible to determine the firmware version in the receiver. This information is necessary to complete troubleshooting diagnostics with DCI Customer Service by telephone. At
NOTE: Receivers with firmware version 3.77 and above are DataLog capable.
5.0 Series Firmware Functions
Receivers that have 5.0 series or later firmware will display information differently than
¾Predict the depth of the transmitter while the receiver is positioned at the FNLP.
¾Display the receiver’s rechargeable battery status in percent and voltage remaining (see “On/Off” in- structions earlier in this section).
¾Turn off the receiver by clicking the trigger in a prescribed sequence instead of removing the battery (see “On/Off” instructions earlier in this section).
¾Provide the operator with 3 confirmation beeps after successfully completing the Mark III
¾Provide a running time meter on the operating hours of the receiver.
Predicted Depth Key Points
¾The 5.0 series firmware provides a predicted depth for the transmitter when it reaches the FNLP.
¾The predicted depth is only valid when the operator is standing at the FNLP.
¾The predicted depth is never taken at the rear negative locate point (RNLP).
¾The predicted depth assumes no substantial change in pitch between the time of the prediction and the time that the transmitter reaches the FNLP.
¾The predicted depth number will flash quickly (bottom window) to distinguish it from the depth, which appears as a solid (not flashing) number.
¾A solidly illuminated squiggle (“~”) will appear in the bottom window to further distinguish the pre- dicted depth.
¾The original slant distance or depth can still be viewed simply by releasing the trigger.
¾Pitch updates must occur in order for the predicted depth to be accurate.
¾If there is no current pitch, the depth display will not show the predicted depth but instead will show a squiggle when the trigger is held in.
