Cable System
4. From the main menu on the remote display, select Cable and press the execute button.
5. Press the right arrow, and press it again to select Y for yes, then press the execute button.
Note the “RO” or roll offset number that appears at the top of the remote display to indicate that a
compensation for the transmitter’s roll position has occurred. This number will remain in memory until you
change it; therefore, you can calibrate, change the telemetry channel, and replace the battery without
affecting this roll offset number.
If you will be tracking the cable transmitter with the receiver, you will also need to set the roll offset on the
receiver to ensure that both units display the same roll information. If you have not already enabled the
roll offset function on the receiver using the Set Roll menu option, refer to “Set Roll / Unset Roll (Enabling
and Disabling the Roll Offset Function)” in the Receiver section.
To set the roll offset number on the receiver, after enabling the roll offset function:
1. Torque-up the tool to the housing.
2. Orient the tool to 12 o’clock.
3. Place the cable transmitter into the housing and power up using the Eclipse power supply.
4. From the remote display’s main menu, select Cable and press the execute button.
5. From the receiver’s main menu screen, select Locate and click the trigger.
6. Toggle up one time, select Y for yes, and click the trigger. The transmitter’s roll position should now
match the tool’s position, which is 12 o’clock.
The receiver will display the roll offset number at the top of the screen and the remote display will show
the roll offset number at the top as “RO”.
Locating Using the Cable System
Locating using the cable transmitter system is identical to locating using the battery-operated Eclipse
transmitter—see the Locating section.
The receiver and remote display must be set to the same channel (see the “Configure Menu” section in
the Receiver and Remote Display sections for instructions on changing the telemetry channel and Tele
Option or TLT settings). The receiver and remote will display the pitch, roll, and depth of the cable
transmitter.
Viewing Transmitter Depth or Predicted Depth
The depth or predicted depth of the transmitter can also be viewed on the remote display. The receiver
must be positioned over either the locate line (LL) or one of the locate points (FLP or RLP) for this
function to work—see “Locate Points (FLP & RLP) and Locate Line (LL)” in the Locating section. Also,
this function is only available on Eclipse systems produced after February 2002.
Once the receiver is positioned over the LL, FLP, or RLP, the receiver operator holds in the trigger to take
the depth or predicted depth reading. The remote display will emit a single tone to notify the operator that
the depth information is being displayed. This depth/predicted depth information will remain on the remote
display’s screen for 10 seconds or as long as the receiver’s trigger is held in.
