DigiTrak Extended Long-Range Transmitter Housing Slot Requirements
For the short-range FS transmitter (8 in./20.32 cm long), the slots must be at least 3.75 in. (9.5 cm) long
and begin at least 1.25 in. (3.2 cm) from the front or index cap end of the transmitter, as shown below.
FS Transmitter Housing Slot Requirements
For the FC cable transmitter (19 in./48.26 cm long), the slots must be at least 9 in. (22.9 cm) long and
begin at least 2.5 in. (6.4 cm) from the front or index cap end of the transmitter, as shown below.
FC Transmitter Housing Slot Requirements
The transmitter must fit snugly in the housing. It may be necessary to wrap the transmitter with tape or O-
rings and/or use a housing adapter for larger drill housings. Contact DCI for more information.
The index slot in the front end cap of the transmitter should fit onto the anti-roll pin (key) in the housing for
proper alignment of the transmitter in the housing. When the drill head’s 12 o’clock position does not
match that of the transmitter, use the receiver’s roll offset function to display appropriate roll values. See
“Roll Offset Menu” in the Receiver section.
