DigiTrak Receiver – Side View
The DigiTrak Receiver is a hand-held unit used for loca-
ting and tracking the transmitter. It receives and converts
signals from the transmitter and displays the following
information: pitch, roll, depth/distance, predicted depth,
temperature, and battery status. The display windows
are located on the top of the receiver.
Next to each DigiTrak display window are symbols or
icons to help you identify the functions of each window
(see table on next page). The icons below each window
represent the pitch, roll, and depth/distance of the
transmitter, which are displayed when the trigger is
released, as shown by the trigger down icon. When the
trigger is held in (trigger up), the top left window will
display the signal strength and the top right window will
display the temperature. Note the predicted depth icon
below the bottom window. When the trigger is held in
and the receiver is positioned at the front negative locate
point (FNLP), the predicted depth of the transmitter at
the FNLP is displayed in the bottom window. This
predicted depth number will flash quickly and the bottom
window will also show a solidly illuminated squiggle (“~”)
to further set it apart from the depth display.
