Remote Display Unit
The DigiTrak Remote Display unit is typically positioned where it will be readily visible by the drill opera-
tor. The remote display uses telemetry to display some of the information displayed by the receiver. The
remote display can also be used for remote steering when walkover tracking is not possible. The left side
of the remote display’s panel is identical to the receiver’s display panel. The long window to the upper
right is used for remote steering (see below).
The remote display will show the drill operator the transmitter’s pitch, roll, depth, temperature, battery
status, and predicted depth. It will not display signal strength or the plus/minus (“+/–”) symbols.
The receiver must have remote capability to send a signal to the remote display; receivers with this
capability are identified by a large orange arrow below the battery door. All receivers can be upgraded to
remote capability by DCI. The maximum separation between the receiver and the remote display can
range up to about 4000 ft (1220 m) depending upon interference and topographic features.
The DigiTrak System uses ultrahigh-frequency telemetry to communicate between the receiver and the
remote display. Both the receiver and the remote display must have the same type of telemetry to
communicate properly.
