System Components
The Eclipse SST system consists of the following components:
¾ Eclipse SST receiver
¾ Eclipse SST remote display with power supply
¾ Eclipse SST transmitter with protective magnetic shield
¾ Laptop computer with SST (Steering Tool) software
This section gives descriptions of these main components.
Eclipse SST Receiver
The Eclipse SST receiver is used to walkover locate the SST transmitter when possible and to confirm
computer readings. The locating procedure for the SST is the same as that for the standard Eclipse
locating system, with simple two-button (trigger and toggle switch) operation. If you are not familiar with
the Eclipse locating procedure, please see the Eclipse system operator’s manual.
