Locating Procedure
The Eclipse system can be used to locate the transmitter while facing either toward the drill or away from
the drill. The locating procedure given here assumes you are facing away from the drill with the trans-
mitter out ahead of you.
1. Begin locating by clicking the trigger after you have selected the Locate option from the main menu
screen. The locating display will appear, as shown in the graphic on the left below. The Eclipse
locating display (on the left) shows the position of the locate point (the target) with respect to the
receiver (the box in the center of the display). The graphic on the right shows the actual position of
the receiver, the transmitter, and the locate points. Note that the RLP is ahead of and to the left of the
receiver, as shown in the Eclipse display by the target symbol.
