Predicted Depth Screen

Warning Because both front and rear locate points appear identical to

the receiver, an invalid depth prediction can be generated

when the receiver is over the rear locate point (RLP). Only a

reading at the front locate point (FLP) produces a valid

predicted depth.

and Locate Line (LL)

Hold the trigger at the front locate point (FLP) to display the Predicted Depth screen. The

predicted depth is the depth the transmitter is calculated to be at when it reaches the front

locate point if it continues on its current path.

Predicted Depth Screen at FLP with HAG On

Hold the trigger for longer than five seconds to enter Max mode, as described in the previous

section.

In this example, if the drill head travels an additional 1.82 m at -0.2% pitch, it will be directly

below the locator at 2.62 m.
