DrillTrack Operating Instructions
DataView Operation
The DataView is mounted on the Drilling
machine using its magnetic base.
The DataView can be powered by either four C-size alkaline
batteries or can be connected directly to the 12V power supply
of the drilling machine.
The DataView LCD provides the Drilling machine operator all the
relevant data transmitted from the DataSonde to the Receiver
which is then relayed to the DataView in real time. The information will
include, Tilt angle (inclination), Roll position(clock), Depth (upon
request), DataSonde operating Temperature and alarm conditions.
DataView alarms are as follows:
- DataSonde Temperature alarms. (see page 3-15)
- DataSonde Battery LOW alarm.
- DataView Battery LOW alarm.
Remote steering operation
A row of nine LEDS gives the Drilling machine operator left/right remote steering information. This information
allows the Drilling machine operator to steer the drillhead Left/Right towards the Receiver and past the
Receiver.
Operating in the remote steering mode, the Receiver should be placed in the Tripod, facing the Drilling
machine.
Please note that electrostatic discharges to the DataView may cause temporary loss or corruption of the LCD
or LED display. To restore the display, switch the unit off and then back on again.
