Short-Range FS Transmitter with Closeup of Front End Cap
The FC cable transmitter provides a depth range of approximately 90 ft (27.4 m). It measures 19 in.
(48.26 cm) long and 1.25 in. (3.175 cm) in diameter. This transmitter requires a special rear-load housing
with an end plug that allows the transmitter’s cable to exit the housing. The end plug requires a com-
pression fitting to seal the transmitter from the drilling fluid. For operational information on the FC cable
transmitter, please see the DigiTrak Multi-Function Cable Box (MFCB) Operator's Manual.
FC Cable Transmitter
NOTE: The range of any transmitter is largely dependent upon the amount of interference at a job
site. The range decreases as interference increases.
Batteries and Power On/Off
The long-range FX transmitter requires two C-cell alkaline batteries or one DCI SuperCell Lithium Battery.
The extended long-range FXL requires one DCI SuperCell battery. Do not use alkaline batteries in the
FXL transmitter; they would last only a few hours. The short-range FS transmitter requires one AA
alkaline battery.
NOTE: Never use damaged or non-DCI lithium batteries. DCI SuperCell batteries are manufactured to
military specifications. The use of damaged or lower-quality lithium batteries may damage the
transmitter and/or housing and will void the DCI warranty.
Installing Batteries / Power On
The transmitter is powered on once the batteries are installed properly. To install the batteries, first
remove the battery cap by rotating it counterclockwise. Then insert the batteries positive terminal first into
the battery compartment and replace the battery cap, ensuring that it bottoms out for a proper seal. When
