Falcon transmitters with SnooZe Mode
With DCI's limited-edition Falcon transmitter (Tx) with SnooZe/Z-
Mode the Tx signal can be turned off down-hole and turned back
on as needed. This can extend battery life up to 30+ days for
wireline projects that require walkover capability on demand.
Activate Z-Mode
After the initial Tx setup and calibration, activate Z-Mode by
executing a Repeating Roll Sequence four times (RRS4) either
manually or assisted by the Aurora Display's XR App.
On the first RRS4, Z-Mode is activated with no signal. Every RRS4
you execute after the first one switches the Tx between signal or
no signal. For instructions how to execute an RRS4, see page
When the Tx has no signal, you cannot use the standard roll sequences
(10-2-7 and RRS3) for changing bands. To change bands above ground,
use the Power On or Tilt Methods. Search the DigiGuide App for steps.
Verify Tx Z-Mode
Use the Tx serial number (SN) on the Tx Info Request screen to
confirm the status of the Tx before it goes into the housing and
down hole
First number is a 3 – Standard Tx mode
First number is a 4 – Z-Mode with signal
First number is a 5 – Z-Mode no signal
For steps, search the
Enhanced Sleep mode
If the Tx does not rotate (less than 5°) for more than 15 minutes,
the Tx will go into Sleep mode with no signal to save battery life.
To wake-up a Tx from Sleep mode, slowly rotate the drill head for
10-15 seconds, and then stop at a new CP (1/4 rotation/90°).
