Introduction
DigiTrak LT Locating System
The DigiTrak LT Locating System is used to locate and track the drill head during horizontal directional
drilling (HDD) operations. The system consists of a handheld receiver, a transmitter, which is placed in
the drill head, and a remote display. The receiver and remote are powered by a NiCad battery pack, and
a battery charger is also included with the system.
Locating is streamlined using the LT receiver’s graphic display and menu system. The real-time graphic
display guides you in positioning a target (or a line) in a box on the display window to locate the trans-
mitter in the drill head. You can also locate using the plus/minus signs, as on earlier DigiTrak models
produced by Digital Control Incorporated (DCI).
This manual provides information on each LT system component—the receiver, transmitter, remote dis-
play, and battery charger—in separate sections following this introduction. These sections are followed by
the Locating Instructions section, which explains important locating terms and gives step-by-step locating
instructions.
The remainder of this section presents the LT system’s power requirements, environmental requirements,
and equipment maintenance requirements.
If you have any questions about the information in this manual or about the use of the LT system, please
call DCI’s Customer Service Department at 800-288-3610 or 425-251-0559.
