From the Locate Mode screen, toggle down to turn off Target Steering.
GLOSSARY DEFINITIONS
*TARGET DEPTH
A value programmed into the locator, so it can be positioned ahead of the
transmitter housing and used as a steering target. The value programmed should
be the desired depth of the transmitter when it reaches the point below the
locator. If a locator is placed above ground level, such as to provide separation
from interference, that height must be added to the target depth.
Note: If using a Falcon Compact Display, only left/right steering information is
available. The locator used with the Falcon Compact Display must still have a
target depth set. This target depth can be any value.
USE DIFFERENT SCANS FOR UP AND DOWN BANDS
STEP 1 OF 10
The Jobsite Setup topic "Find Best Frequencies" describes how to run the
frequency optimizer, walk the bore to scan for
, then optimize
both bands at the point of highest noise. You need to be familiar with that
topic before reading this one.
For jobsites with extra-challenging interference, consider a scan-pick-pair of
the first band at the noisiest point (such as next to the power transformer),
then scan-pick-pair the second band at the second-noisiest point (such as
over railroad tracks). This gives you a specifically tailored band for each of
the two most difficult locations along your drill path.
