Operator’s Manual

The Target Steering procedure requires correct placement of the receiver at less than 10.7 m

in front of the transmitter, on the bore path, with its back end (where the battery pack is

inserted) facing the drill.

When used to provide only the right/left Remote Steering signals accepted by the Falcon and

Aurora remote displays, the distance between receiver and transmitter is limited only by the

range of the transmitter.

Use the three screens in the Target Steering menu on the receiver to turn Target

Steering On, turn Target Steering off, or set the target depth, as described in the following

sections.

Turning Target Steering On

Use the first screen in the Target Steering menu to turn remote steering on at the target

depth displayed, which is either the default value of 0.50 m or the most recently-set value.

The target depth is the depth at which you want the transmitter when it passes under the

receiver. To change the target depth, click twice and skip to Setting the Target Depth on

page 53.

Target Steering Menu

Hold the trigger briefly to turn Target Steering on with the displayed depth value. A

checkmark appears briefly next to the receiver icon. The receiver beeps four times to confirm

and returns to the Locate screen with Target Steering enabled.

With Target Steering enabled, the Locate screen will now show the horizontal distance from

transmitter to receiver (see the first screen in the section Positioning the Receiver as the

Target on page 54).

Any HAG setting in effect is ignored during Target Steering.
