Some terms and techniques used in this manual are considered basic to the F5 locating system. If you
have never used the F5 system,
then you are required to read the operator’s manual for the system
(
DigiTrak F5 Directional Drilling Locating System Operator’s Manual
) before using the SST system.
NOTE:
You must know how to operate the F5 locating system prior to operating the F5
SST guidance system.
You also must read the instructions given in this SST system
operator’s manual and familiarize yourself
with the various menu screens on your F5 SST receiver and remote display before using the system for a
production drill. We also recommend that you review the LWD software application and the help files in
the software relating to the SST (steering tool) guidance system. If you have questions, please call DCI
