Troubleshooting
Problem Cause / Remedy
Eclipse Receiver (cont.)
Pitch, roll, or depth information is
different than on remote display
Receiver and remote display may be set to different channels or may be using
different measurement settings. Verify that both units are set to the same
channel, are set to the same grade mode, and are set to the same depth
measurement mode.
If you confirm that all settings are the same on both devices and there is still a
problem, then try using a different channel.
Eclipse Remote Display
Display goes blank The screen contrast may have accidentally been adjusted. If so, push the right
or left toggle arrow several times (at least 8–10) while pushing in the execute
button, or push in the right or left toggle arrow while repetitively pushing the
execute button.
Try changing the transmitter’s battery.
Display goes dark The screen contrast may need to be adjusted. To adjust the contrast, push in
the execute button while repetitively pushing the right or left toggle arrow, or
push the left or right toggle arrow in while repetitively pushing the execute
button.
Display locks up The battery is probably dead. Replace the battery with a fully charged battery,
and press the execute button to power up the unit.
Display will not turn on The battery is not properly installed. Insert battery so that the two exposed
terminals make contact with the bottom two springs in the remote display’s
battery compartment.
The battery voltage is too low. Replace battery.
Display will not show depth Software version in remote is earlier than February 2002. Call DCI to upgrade
your software.
Update indicator stops rotating Receiver is not in locate mode and, therefore, is not sending data to the
remote display. NOTE: The receiver must be in locate mode to send signals to
the remote display.
Remote is not receiving information from the receiver. Try repositioning the
receiver and/or the remote so that there is less interference between them.
Pitch, roll, or depth information is
different than on the receiver
Receiver and remote display may be set to different channels or may be using
different measurement settings. Verify that both units are set to the same
channel, are set to the same grade mode, and are set to the same depth
measurement mode.
If you confirm that all settings are the same on both devices and there is still a
problem, then try using a different channel.
Pitch, roll, temperature, and/or
transmitter battery status blinks
Move receiver closer to transmitter.
Move receiver and/or remote display away from potential interference sources.
Steer-to target disappears Place the receiver above the FLP, RLP, or LL and hold in the trigger. This will
reset the remote display screen to Target Steering mode.
Loss of data Verify that the receiver and remote display are set to the same channel and
that the Tele Option or TLT settings are correct.
From the receiver, exit locate mode and then go back into locate mode.
