Target Steering Locate Mode Screen
Pressure data for a fluid pressure sensing transmitter will display in a field between the
transmitter pitch and approximate transmitter depth.
Steering to the Target
Once the target depth has been entered on the receiver and the receiver has been positioned
ahead of the tool as the target, select remote mode from the remote’s main menu (see Main
Menu on page xlviii) to see the Target Steering screen:
Target Steering on Remote Display
The steering indicator should be dead center in the display if you are correctly heading to
your programmed target depth. The steering indicator in this case shows that the drill head is
to the left and too high for the intended path. A steering command of 4 o’clock would bring
the drill head toward the target. Note that for quick viewing and interpretation, the pointed end
of the steering indicator corresponds to the clock position of the head. The horizontal
distance between transmitter (drill head)and receiver is indicated at the bottom left part of the
display. The current approximate depth of the drill head is indicated at the bottom right.
