Remote Display
Tele Option A/B Allows the remote display to receive information when its corresponding receiver
unit has a different telemetry system, such as when one unit has TLT and the
other does not (see “Changing the Telemetry Channel” and “Tele Option A/B” in
the Receiver section)
Locator DL /
No Locator DL
Enables the DataLog Mapping System menu options so that you can access
DataLog functions from the Eclipse receiver’s main menu screen and store data
when locating (see “Locator DL / No Locator DL” in Receiver section).
Set Roll /
Unset Roll
Enables the roll offset function, which allows the transmitter’s roll position to be
compensated to match the tool’s roll position (see “Set Roll / Unset Roll” in
Receiver section). This function on the remote display is only used with an Eclipse
cable transmitter or the Eclipse SST transmitter. You do not need to enable this
function unless you are using one of these transmitters (see Cable System sec-
tion). When you are using a battery-operated transmitter, the roll offset is enabled
at the receiver. The receiver then sends the correct roll information to the remote,
and the letters “RO” for roll offset are displayed underneath the roll clock.
Code This menu option is provided for DCI to use for calibration during manufacturing
and for diagnosing problems for repairs.
Exit
Returns display to the main menu screen.
Remote Display Screen
During normal drilling use, the Remote menu option must be selected so that the remote display screen
(shown below) is visible. The remote screen displays the drilling parameters for the drill rig operator’s use,
including transmitter pitch and roll, transmitter temperature, and Target Steering data. The Target
Steering data will only be shown when the Target Steering function is being used. The communication
update indicator rotates to show that data are being received from the receiver.
