Disable Roll Offset
To turn off roll offset, select Disable the roll offset from the Roll Offset menu. The receiver
beeps four times as the screen returns to the Settings menu. The value that displays for roll
on the Locate screen will now be that of the transmitter, not necessarily the drill head.
Pressure Units Menu
Choose between pounds per square inch (psi) and kilopascals (kPa).
Temperature Units Menu
Choose between Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C).
Language Selection Menu
This menu has multiple language options. Selecting a new language will cause the receiver
to restart.
Transmitter Selection and Frequency Optimization
This section addresses Falcon technology's ground-breaking Frequency Optimizer (FO)
feature, which finds the lowest-noise (optimal) group of frequencies available in each of nine
bands. When the results display in graph form showing the levels of active interference in
each band, choose the one or two bands you want to use, pair, and you're ready to calibrate
and start drilling.
You can switch the transmitter between the two optimized bands at any time, either pre-bore
or mid-bore. Start in the optimized band that works best for the normal-interference portion of
the bore and switch to the other band that works better for the portion that has higher
interference. Or use one optimized band for the whole bore, or start drilling in one optimized
band and switch only if you need to. The choice is yours.
Do I have to optimize every time I power the receiver on? Page 65
No, the receiver remembers both optimized bands until you pair it to a new band. Power
the transmitter on horizontally to use the last active band. But don't forget to optimize at
your next bore.
If my optimized band worked great at my last jobsite, can I keep using it at my next one?
Because sources of interference differ at every jobsite, DCI recommends optimizing at
every job site to obtain the best selection of frequencies for the current conditions.
