Display Screens
The basic receiver screens include the locate mode screen, the depth mode screen, and the predicted
depth screen. These are presented below. For more information regarding these screens and for detailed
locating instructions, please see the Locating section.
Locate Mode Display Screen
The first option in the main menu is the locate mode option, which displays the locate mode screen.
When the receiver is detecting a signal from a transmitter, the locate mode screen provides real-time data
about the transmitter’s location, temperature, pitch, roll, and signal strength.
Receiver Locate Mode Screen with Transmitter in Range (Trigger Out)
The roll/pitch update meter displays the quantity of roll/pitch data being
received from the transmitter. When the meter is empty, no roll/pitch data is
being received, and none will appear on either the receiver or the remote
display. Depth and predicted depth readings may still be taken, but the
receiver will assume the transmitter has a pitch of zero, as indicated by the
image to the right appearing on the depth or predicted depth mode screen.
When the roll offset function is used (an electronic compensation to
match the transmitter’s 12 o’clock position to the drill head’s 12 o’clock
position), the roll indicator will appear as shown in the image to the right.
For more information on the roll offset function, see “Set Roll Offset” in
the System Setup section.
