Transmitter
Starting the Eclipse Dual-Frequency Transmitter
The Eclipse dual-frequency transmitter can be set to transmit in two different modes—dual-frequency
mode (transmitting at 1.5 kHz and 12 kHz) or single-frequency mode (transmitting at 12 kHz).
The frequency mode can only be changed at startup when the batteries are loaded. You cannot change
the frequency mode of the transmitter while drilling.
The frequency mode is established by the orientation of the transmitter at startup, when the batteries are
loaded into the battery compartment.
Starting the Dual-Frequency Transmitter
in Dual-Frequency Mode
Loading Batteries
for Dual Mode
1. Remove the battery cap, and hold the transmitter vertically with the battery
compartment up and the front end pointing down (see diagram).
2. Load two C-cells (or a SuperCell lithium battery) into the battery compart-
ment with the positive terminal entering first.
3. Replace the battery cap while rotating the transmitter in this vertical position
until the cap is flush with the end of the battery compartment.
4. Power up the receiver, and verify that the main menu option shows Low Fre
on the main menu screen.
5. Select Locate from the receiver’s main menu screen, and click the trigger.
6. You will see DH above the thermometer on the left side of the screen to
indicate the transmitter is in dual-high mode.
7. Verify that the signal strength is 530 to 540 by placing the receiver 10 ft
(3 m) from the transmitter (in the housing), and record the value.
8. Return to the main menu screen on the receiver, select Low Fre, and click
the trigger.
9. Select Locate from the main screen, and click the trigger.
10. You will see DL above the thermometer on the left side of the screen to indicate the transmitter is in
dual-low mode.
11. Verify that the signal strength is 480 to 490 when the receiver is 10 ft (3 m) from the transmitter (in the
housing), and record the value.
