Tracker Control
Overview
This mode allows the operator of a Ditch Witch
®
tracking system to disable hydraulic power to drilling unit
thrust and rotation.
Use tracker control any time you change downhole tools or during other times when the drill string is
exposed. Tracker control works by stopping communication between the tracker and the display. When
this happens, the green tracker control light on the drilling unit comes on and thrust and rotation are
disabled.
Incorrect procedures could result in death, injury, or property damage.
Learn to use equipment correctly.
NOTICE: This mode does not disable thrust and rotation immediately. Functions are disabled within 16
seconds.Thrust and rotation are disabled when green light on drilling unit is flashing.
