Introduction
DigiTrak F2 Locating System
The DigiTrak F2 Locating System is used during horizontal directional drilling operations to locate and
track a transmitter installed in the drill head. The system consists of a handheld receiver, a transmitter, a
remote display with battery and cable power options, a battery charger system, and three rechargeable
F Series battery packs for powering the receiver and remote.
There are six transmitter options for use with the F2 system, including 12-kHz and 19-kHz frequency
options and a cable transmitter option. See the Transmitter section for more information.
In addition to the basic locating capabilities of directional tracking and depth, the F2 system includes the
advanced features of predicted depth, off-track locating, and Target Steering
to navigate the drill head
easily and accurately even when obstacles prevent walkover tracking.
This manual provides information on each F2 system component—the receiver, transmitter, remote dis-
play, and battery charger—in separate sections following this Introduction. These sections are followed by
the Locating section, which explains important locating terms and gives step-by-step locating instructions.
