On/Off and Setting the Channel

To turn the unit on, place a fully charged DigiTrak battery pack into the battery compartment, terminal end in first, then push the black button on the front of the display panel.

Select one of the four channels. Note that channels 1 and 3 use one frequency, and channels 2 and 4 use a second frequency. Be sure to change the channel selection on the receiver to match that selected on the remote display (see “Changing the Receiver’s Channel Setting” in the Receiver Section).

NOTE: A zero (0) on the receiver indicates that the receiver’s telemetry is shut off and no signal will be sent back to the drill, which will result in “dashes” across the three display windows on the Remote. Setting the receiver to channel 0 may be useful for conserving receiver battery power.

The transmitter information on the remote display will be the same as that at the receiver, except the Remote will not display signal strength nor the “+/–” locating symbols. The remote display will continue to display pitch, roll, and distance along with the flashing squiggle (“~”) in the top left window, indicating that updates are being received. You should always wait for two consecutive updates with the same pitch/roll information before making a steering action.

The remote display has no automatic shutoff function. To turn the unit off, push the on/off button. Never ship a remote display or receiver with a battery in the battery compartment.

Transmitter Temperature and Battery Status

Remote displays with firmware versions of 3.9 or later automatically display the transmitter’s temperature and battery status in the top right window for 2 seconds when a 4°C temperature increase occurs. The transmitter’s temperature and battery status can also be viewed on command by turning the Remote off and then back on. Remotes with older firmware versions (3.8 or earlier) will display transmitter status automatically every 30 seconds but not at start-up. The drill operator will hear temperature increase tones when a DataLog module is attached to the remote display.

For more information on transmitter temperature display intervals, see firmware update information on DCI’s web page located at www.digitrak.com. To determine the remote display unit’s firmware version, see “Finding Firmware Version” below and, for the receiver, see “Finding Firmware Version” in the Receiver Section.
