F2™ Operator’s Manual 11
Receiver
F2 Receiver – Side and Back Views
General Description
The F2 receiver is a handheld unit used for locating and tracking an F2 transmitter. The receiver converts
signals from the transmitter and displays the following information: depth, pitch, roll, temperature, and
battery level. The F2 receiver can send this same information to the remote display at the drill rig.
To meet regional requirements and for proper communication, the telemetry frequency designation for the
receiver must match that for the remote display. The telemetry frequency designation is identified on the
receiver’s serial number label, which is located inside the battery compartment (see photo). It must match
one of those listed on the remote display’s serial number label located on the back of the unit (see
"General Description" in Remote Display section).
The receiver and transmitter must also be able to communicate properly in different global regions. A
regional designation number is provided in the receiver’s software (see figure titled "Receiver Startup
Screen" later in this section). This number must match that stamped on the transmitter for proper
communication (see photo of FX transmitter in Transmitter section).
