  • Page 2: General Safety Warning

    DIGITRAK FALCON F1 SINGLEBAND USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 05.18.2024 Important Safety Info GENERAL SAFETY WARNING Only operate your DCI guidance system in accordance with the operating instructions for your system. Serious injury and death, as well as property damage, can result if underground drilling equipment strikes a natural gas line, high-voltage electrical cable, or other utility.
  • Page 3 DIGITRAK FALCON F1 SINGLEBAND USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 05.18.2024 Ensure that all underground utilities have been located, exposed, and/or accurately marked prior to drilling. Follow all proper safety precautions, such as potholing. DCI equipment is not explosion-proof and should never be used near flammable or explosive substances.
  • Page 4 DIGITRAK FALCON F1 SINGLEBAND USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 05.18.2024 Interference levels change with time and with even minor changes in location. The frequency optimizer is not a substitute for prudent operator judgment. If performance drops while drilling, consider switching to the other selected band (not available on the Falcon F1) or use Max Mode.

  • Page 7 DIGITRAK FALCON F1 SINGLEBAND USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 05.18.2024 Bootcamp HDD LOCATING HISTORY Locating in the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry was initially based on locating a buried cable by sweeping the locator back and forth to find the highest signal strength (peak signal), indicating that the locator was over the cable.
  • Page 8 DIGITRAK FALCON F1 SINGLEBAND USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 05.18.2024 There is a second locate point behind the transmitter called the Rear Locate Point (RLP). The two locate points, combined with a Locate Line (LL), pinpoint the precise location of the transmitter housing below ground.
  • Page 9 DIGITRAK FALCON F1 SINGLEBAND USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 05.18.2024 Passive interference consists of anything that blocks or distorts the transmitter signal resulting in incorrect depths or missing data. Example sources include rebar, guard rails, bridge abutments, chain link fencing, salt/saltwater, and soil high in metal ore. The Falcon sub-kHz transmitter (available for Falcon F5 and F5+ only) helps cut through passive interference without distorting the signal.
