Procedure
1. Place tracker in tracker stand along intended bore path with the battery caps facing toward the rig. Use
the bubble level to ensure tracker is positioned correctly.
2. Drill as usual. Use the TD to monitor steering arrows, current depth, horizontal distance, and projected
depth.
Steer
The steering arrow displays the correction
required to guide the beacon back to the bore
path defined by the tracker’s location and
orientation.
Incorrect procedures could result in death, injury, or property damage.
Learn to use equipment correctly.
To help avoid injury:
• If location and depth are critical, confirm by hand-digging.
• Do not stand or walk over the bore path while drill string is moving (during drilling and backreaming).
IMPORTANT:
• The tracker must be kept in front of the beacon and above the beacon. The beacon must
be projecting below the tracker to give correct results.
• If the distance between the tracker and the beacon is greater than 35’ (11.7 m) a radial
distance estimate and steering correction arrow will be displayed.
• Doubleclick the Select/Send button to switch between walkover and drill-to modes.
