STEP 4 OF 7
Place the locator on the drill path with its battery compartment facing the
drill head. Target Steering guides the transmitter to be inline with the
locator's handle when it reaches the target beneath the locator. For
accurate depth information, use the horizontal distance reading on the
Target Steering display to ensure the locator is no more than 10.7 m in front
of the transmitter.
If you go shallower than 10.7 m do not rely on the depth and
up/down steering information. Instead, monitor pitch data.
STEP 5 OF 7
1. Horizontal distance from transmitter to locator
2. Current transmitter depth below the plane of the locator
At this point, the drill rig operator uses the remote display to
drill to the target.
STEP 6 OF 7
When the horizontal distance is almost the same as the current depth, move
the locator farther out to continue Target Steering.
