Safety Precautions and Warnings

Carefully review this manual and be sure you always operate your DigiTrak locating system properly to

obtain accurate depth, pitch, roll, and locate points. If you have any questions about the operation of the

system, please contact DCI Customer Service for assistance.

General

Warning All operators must read and understand the following safety

precautions and warnings and must review this operator’s manual

before using the DigiTrak F5 Locating System.

Serious injury and death can result if underground drilling equipment makes

contact with an underground utility such as a high-voltage electrical cable or a

natural gas line.

Substantial property damage and liability can result if underground drilling

equipment makes contact with an underground utility such as a telephone, cable

TV, fiber-optic, water, or sewer line.

Work slowdowns and cost overruns can occur if drilling operators do not use the

drilling or locating equipment correctly to obtain proper performance.

DCI equipment is not explosion-proof and should never be used near flammable

or explosive substances.

In the event of electrostatic shock, the display screen may go blank. No data loss

will occur. Click the trigger to reset the receiver, or toggle down to reset the

remote display.

Hot surfaces can occur on cable transmitters if housing requirements are not met.

Always ensure the transmitter is installed properly in the housing during use.

Directional drilling operators MUST at all times:

Understand the safe and proper operation of drilling and locating equipment, including the use of

ground mats and proper grounding procedures.

Ensure that all underground utilities have been located, exposed, and accurately marked prior to

drilling.

Wear protective safety clothing such as dielectric boots, gloves, hard hats, high-visibility vests, and

safety glasses.

Locate and track the transmitter in the drill head accurately and correctly during drilling.

Maintain a minimum distance of 8 in. (20 cm) from the front of the receiver to the user’s torso to

ensure compliance with FCC requirements.

Comply with federal, state, and local governmental regulations (such as OSHA).

Follow all other safety procedures.

DIGITAL CONTROL INCORPORATED

8 DigiTrak®LT™

Operator’s Manual

DigiTrak locating systems cannot be used to locate utilities.

Continued exposure of the transmitter to heat due to frictional heating of the drill head can cause

inaccurate information to be displayed and may permanently damage the transmitter.

Remove the batteries from all system components during shipping and prolonged storage; damage

caused by leakage may occur.

Equipment and Battery Disposal

This symbol on equipment indicates that the equipment must not be disposed of with your

other household waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of such equipment at a

designated collection point for the recycling of batteries or electrical and electronic

equipment. If the equipment contains a banned substance, the label will show the pollutant

(Cd = Cadmium; Hg = Mercury; Pb = Lead) near this symbol. Before recycling, ensure

batteries are discharged or the terminals are covered with adhesive tape to prevent

shorting. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of

disposal will help conserve natural resources and ensure it is recycled in a manner that

protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you can

drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local city office, your

household waste disposal service, or the shop where you purchased the equipment.

The battery charger provided with your DigiTrak locating system is designed with adequate safeguards to

protect you from shock and other hazards when used as specified within this document. If you use the

battery charger in a manner not specified by this document, the protection provided may be impaired. Do

not attempt to disassemble the battery charger, it contains no user-serviceable parts. The battery charger

shall not be installed into caravans, recreational vehicles, or similar vehicles.

Pre-Drilling Testing

Before each drilling run, test your DigiTrak locating system with the transmitter inside the drill head to

confirm it is operating properly and providing accurate drill head location and heading information.

During drilling, the depth will not be accurate unless:

The receiver has been properly calibrated and the calibration has been checked for accuracy so the

receiver shows the correct depth.

The transmitter has been located correctly and accurately and the receiver is directly above the

transmitter in the drill head underground or at the front locate point.

The receiver is placed on the ground or held at the correct height-above-ground distance, which has

been set correctly.

Always test calibration after you have stopped drilling for any length of time.

Interference

Interference can cause inaccuracies in the measurement of depth and loss of the transmitter’s pitch, roll,

or heading. Always perform a background noise check prior to drilling.

Sources of interference include, but are not limited to, traffic signal loops, invisible dog fences, cable

TV, power lines, fiber-trace lines, metal structures, cathodic protection, telephone lines, cell phones,

transmission towers, conductive earth, salt, salt water, rebar, and radio frequencies.

DIGITAL CONTROL INCORPORATED

DigiTrak®LT™

Operator’s Manual 9

Interference at the remote display may also occur from other sources operating nearby on the same

frequency, such as car rental agencies using their remote check-in modules or other directional

drilling locating equipment.

Background noise must be minimal and signal strength must be at least 150 points above the

background noise during all locating operations.

Because this equipment may generate, use, and radiate radio frequency energy, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur at a particular location. If this equipment does interfere with

radio or television reception, which can be determined by powering the equipment off and on, try to

correct the interference using one or more of the following measures:

oReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

oIncrease the separation between the receiver and affected equipment.

oConsult the dealer, DCI, or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

oConnect the DCI equipment to an outlet on a different circuit.

Equipment Maintenance

Turn off all equipment when not in use.

Store the equipment in cases, away from heat, cold, and moisture. Test to confirm proper operation prior

to use.

Clean the screens on the receiver and remote display using a damp soft cloth without chemicals or

cleaning agents.

Clean the receiver, remote, and battery charger case using only a soft moist cloth and mild detergent.

Do not use chemicals to clean the transmitter.

Inspect the equipment daily and contact DCI if you see any damage or problems. Do not disassemble or

attempt to repair the equipment.

Do not store or ship this equipment with batteries inside. Always remove the batteries from the equipment

before shipping or periods of non-use.

Introduction

DigiTrak LT Locating System

The DigiTrak LT Locating System is used to locate and track the drill head during horizontal directional

drilling (HDD) operations. The system consists of a handheld receiver, a transmitter, which is placed in

the drill head, and a remote display. The receiver and remote are powered by a rechargeable DCI battery

pack, and a battery charger is also included with the system.

Locating is streamlined using the LT receiver’s graphic display and menu system. The real-time graphic

display guides you in positioning a target (or a line) in a box on the display window to locate the trans-

mitter in the drill head. You can also locate using the plus/minus signs, as on earlier DigiTrak models

produced by Digital Control Incorporated (DCI).

This manual provides information on each LT system component—the receiver, transmitter, remote dis-

play, and battery charger—in separate sections following this introduction. These sections are followed by

the Locating Instructions section, which explains important locating terms and gives step-by-step locating

instructions.

The remainder of this section presents the LT system’s power requirements, environmental requirements,

and equipment maintenance requirements.

If you have any questions about the information in this manual or about the use of the LT system, please

call DCI’s Customer Service Department at 800-288-3610 or 425-251-0559.
