Target Steering
Steering to the Target
Once the target depth number has been entered on the receiver and the receiver is in position as the
target, select Remote from the main menu screen on the remote display to see the Target Steering
screen, as shown below. The steering indicator in this case shows that the drill head is to the left and too
high for the intended path. The steering indicator should be dead center in the display if you are correctly
heading to your programmed target depth. A steering command of 4 o’clock would bring the drill head
toward the target. Note that, for quick viewing and interpretation, the pointed end of the steering indicator
corresponds to the clock position of the head. The horizontal distance from the drill head to the receiver is
indicated at the bottom left part of the display. At the bottom right, the current depth of the drill head is
indicated.
