General Description
The DigiTrak F Series Display (FSD) is a multifunction remote used with a variety of DigiTrak
receivers. It provides the drill rig operator with information from the receiver about the depth,
orientation, and status of the transmitter. The FSD remote can be powered through either a
DC cable source or an F Series battery pack.
An external 13 in. (33 cm) telemetry antenna is supplied with your multifunction remote to
enhance signal reception up to 1800 ft (550 m) with line of sight to the receiver.
To meet regional requirements and for proper communication, one of the telemetry frequency
designations shown on the remote’s serial number label must match the one shown on the
F5 receiver. The receiver’s telemetry frequency designation is located on the serial number
label inside the battery compartment (see Receiver on page xi).
Power Options
The FSD remote can be powered by either an F Series battery pack or DC power.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack or Brace Insert
To install, hold the battery pack with the tab facing up and away from the FSD remote, then
insert it into the battery compartment and push in until the tab latches in place.
To remove the battery pack , push down on the battery tab and pull it away from the remote
until the tab is released.
