Standard Display Screen Symbols
Height-Above-Ground Icon – Appears when the height-above-ground function is on and
shows the current height setting.
Locating Icon – Represents a bird’s-eye view of the receiver. This icon is referred to as
the “box” when using the target-in-the-box and line-in-the-box locating techniques.
Target – Represents the front and rear locate points (FLP and RLP). When the receiver is
positioned directly above a locate point, the target will be in the box.
Line – Represents locate line (LL). When the receiver is positioned directly above the
LL, the line will be in the box. The LL also allows for off-track locating when access over
the drill head is limited.
Transmitter Battery – Depicts the battery status of the transmitter.
Transmitter Temperature – Shows temperature status of transmitter. An arrow appears
next to the thermometer pointing either up to indicate increasing temperature, or down to
indicate decreasing temperature. The three curved lines extending from the top of the
thermometer appear if the transmitter has reached a dangerous temperature of 111°F or
43°C and requires immediate attention. The thermometer will flash off and on at 118°F
(48°C) to further indicate the need for immediate action to cool the thermometer. The
actual temperature can be displayed in place of the pitch by holding the trigger in.
Receiver Battery – Depicts the battery status of the receiver.
Transmitter Pitch – Shows the inclination of the transmitter (drill head), displayed in
either percent slope or degrees. The pitch value is shown with a drill head indicator
behind it that points up for positive pitch and down for negative pitch. When using percent
slope for pitch measurements, a value from 1 to 100 will appear; when using degrees, a
value from 0 to 45 will appear, followed by a decimal point and a value of 0 or 5. Pitch
measurements are given in 0.5-degree increments.
Pitch/Roll Update Indicator - The dot in the center of the clock should blink 2 times per
second, indicating that current pitch, roll, battery, and temperature information is being
received from the transmitter.
Transmitter Roll – The clock shows the 12 roll positions of the transmitter.
Telemetry Channel Setting – Shows the current channel setting for the receiver. The
receiver must be set to the same channel as the remote display. There are eight channel
settings (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and an Off setting.
+/–
Plus/Minus Locating Indicator – The plus or minus sign in front of the signal strength
value can be used to guide the operator in finding the locate points (FLP and RLP) and
the locate line (LL).
Signal Strength – Displays the amount of signal from the transmitter when the trigger is
held in. The signal strength scale ranges from 0 to 999, where 0 indicates no signal and
999 indicates signal saturation (receiver and transmitter are very close). When the trigger
is not held in and the receiver is saturated (too close to transmitter), you will see four
dashed lines ( — — — — ) where the distance/depth number should display.
