Operational Tests – Before drilling and during operation it is necessary to check the following: proper calibration, correct ultrasonic measurement, status of battery power, transmitter temperature, and signal interference problems. (see Operational Tests Section)
Locating – The DigiTrak System is used to locate the transmitter underground; the trigger under the receiver’s handle is held in during locating to show signal strength in the upper left window. The operator systematically follows the signals received from the transmitter to establish the FNLP and the rear negative locate point (RNLP), which then guide the operator to the transmitter’s location. (see Locating Section)
Tracking – The DigiTrak Receiver automatically “tracks” and displays the transmitter’s orientation (pitch/ roll) and distance. It is not necessary to push the trigger or take any other steps to see this information.
Troubleshooting – The DigiTrak System is a sensitive instrument whose operation can be affected by many different factors. We have listed many of the common problems and solutions in the Trouble- shooting Section in this manual. If you cannot find the answers you need there, then please call DCI for assistance. (see “Technical Support” below)
