Digitrex 3-3000-00a-F manual Cable Transmitter, Label Indicating Cable-Ready Remote Display

Cable Transmitter ®

Remote Display with Cable Transmitter Capability – This is a remote display that has been upgraded or was originally built to display the cable transmitter data. During operation with a cable transmitter, a delta symbol (Δ) illuminates in the top left window indicating the cable mode. All “cable-ready” remote displays have a label near the battery compartment door that indicates it is configured to receive the cable transmitter’s information (see photo). Not all remote displays have the Cable feature, but all can be upgraded/modified for the cable transmitter function.

Cable-Ready Remote Display

Power Supply – This unit plugs into the remote display where the battery pack normally is inserted and is wired directly to the cable transmitter. The power supply enables the information coming up the wire from the cable transmitter to be displayed on the remote display and it sends power to the cable transmitter from the above-ground batteries. It also contains a

circuit breaker to protect the system components.

Cable Extraction/Insertion Tool – This tool is used for inserting and extracting the cable trans- mitter to/from the housing. Two threaded holes (1/4”-20 thread) are provided at the back of the cable transmitter for threading the extraction tool. Never remove the cable transmitter by pulling on the wire.

Items such as compression fittings, 10-gauge stranded copper wire, heat shrink, butt splices, and slip-ring assemblies are not available from DCI. Drill manufacturers will have information on slip-ring assemblies, mud swivels, and compres- sion fittings. Electrical supply houses will carry the rest of the equipment needed for the Cable Trans- mitter System.
