Please read and understand your Falcon F5 system Operator's

Manual and all supplements completely before operating the

equipment described in this guide.

Identifying Sub-k Rebar Transmitters

The following Sub-k Rebar transmitters are available (R identifies

Rebar): FTR5Lp (19-inch fluid pressure), FTR5p (15-inch fluid

pressure), and FTR5s (8-inch). Sub-k transmitters are only available

for the updated Falcon F5 system.

Available Frequency Bands

The Sub-k Up band provides standard-power depth/data

capability with options for Bands 7, 11, and 16 for active

interference. The mid-power Down band uses these same

frequencies for data, but assigns depth/locates to new ultra-low

bands 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 to combat passive interference.

Optimizing with Sub-k Rebar

The frequency optimizer (FO) has a slightly different look when

you have a Sub-k Rebar (FTR) transmitter selected. In addition to

the currently optimized FO bars at the left, the remaining bars

show the active interference (noise) in just six low-frequency

bands.

Standard pitch mode 2. FSSP mode Pair the transmitter by aligning the IR ports (the divot on the transmitter and the small round port in the upper center portion of the receiver front) and clicking the trigger.
Page 4 - 4 - Full Scale Sensitive Pitch (FSSP) FSSP mode requires an FSSP-capable transmitter. FSSP provides 0.1% pitch resolution throughout the entire range of ±99.9% slope for precision grade work. FSSP is included on Falcon F5 19- and 15-inch fluid pressure transmitters with software v2.1.1.0 or higher.
