General Description
The DigiTrak Falcon
™
F2 receiver (locator) is a handheld unit used for locating and tracking a
DigiTrak Falcon F2 dual wideband transmitter. It converts signals from the transmitter to
display depth, pitch, roll, temperature, and battery level, plus sends this information to the
remote display on the drill rig.
The receiver and transmitter must meet specific operational require-
ments for different global regions. A regional designation number is
located on the receiver’s startup screen. This number must match the
one stamped on the transmitter for proper communication.
