TARGET STEERING INTRODUCTION
The Target Steering guidance method allows the Falcon locator to be placed
ahead of the drill head and used as a steering target.
Use it to distance the locator from rebar that is causing signal interference
and to drill where walkover locating is not possible.
Target Steering is typically only used on a straight drill path under level
ground, not a curved path, with terrain changes, or to correct a significantly
off-course bore.
The maximum distance the locator can be placed ahead of the drill head for
accurate up/down Target Steering is 10.7 m.
Within this range, starting with the drill head approximately level, the
maximum depth, and pitch changes are approximately 1.2 m and 14%,
respectively.
Beyond this distance, depth information becomes less accurate.
Data and left / right steering are usable for the entire range of the
transmitter.
