Introduction
DigiTrak Eclipse InGround Positioning System
The DigiTrak
®
Eclipse
®
inGround Positioning System (iGPS
®
) brings a new level of locating ease to the
operator of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) locating equipment. The new target-in-the-box
®
locating
feature and look-ahead
®
capability enable Intuitive
®
tracking of the transmitter. The menu options provide
quick verification of mode settings and also the ability to program the intended position of the transmitter
for easier remote steering—this is DCI’s new Target Steering
®
feature.
The DigiTrak Eclipse locating system uses different transmitting frequencies than other DigiTrak locating
systems. These frequencies reduce the effects of interference and increase locating efficiency.
This manual provides operating instructions for the DigiTrak Eclipse locating system. The information is
presented in sections as follows:
