Receiver
Tele Option A/B
If you are operating a newer receiver that has the TLT function with an older remote display that does not
have the TLT function, then you must set the receiver’s menu option to display Tele Option B:
1. Select Configure from the main menu screen, and click the trigger.
2. Toggle to the right several times to select Tele Option A, and click the trigger. Tele Option B will
now display (meaning you are set to Tele Option A mode), and your receiver will now communicate
with the older remote display.
If you are operating an older receiver that does not have the TLT function with a newer remote display
that has the TLT function, then you must change the remote display’s setting to show Tele Option B.
1. From the remote display’s main menu screen, select Configure and press the execute button.
2. Press the right arrow several times to select Tele Option A and press the execute button. Tele
Option B will now display (meaning you are set to Tele Option A mode), and this newer remote
display will receive signals from the older receiver.
Locator DL / No Locator DL (Enabling and Disabling DataLog Menus)
If you are using the DataLog Mapping System, then you will need to enable the DataLog menu options so
that you can access DataLog functions from the Eclipse receiver’s main menu screen. With the DataLog
menus enabled, you will automatically begin storing data if you push the toggle up when in locate mode.
See the DataLog Mapping System Operator’s Manual provided with your DataLog system or available at
www.digitrak.com for more information.
To enable the DataLog menu options:
1. Select Configure, and click the trigger.
2. Toggle right several times to select Locator DL, and click the trigger. Your receiver will now display
the DataLog menu options under the Eclipse main menu.
To disable the DataLog menu options, select No Locator DL from the Configure menu options.
Set Roll / Unset Roll (Enabling and Disabling Roll Offset Function)
The Set Roll menu option enables the roll offset function, which is used when the drill bit (tool) and
housing are two separate pieces and their roll positions do not match when the tool is torqued-up to the
housing. The roll offset function is an electronic compensation to match the transmitter’s 12 o’clock
position to the tool’s 12 o’clock position.
