DrillTrack G2 DataView
DataView information.
The DrillTrack G2 DataView is mounted on the Drilling
machine using its magnetic base.
The DataView can be powered by either four C-size alkaline
batteries or can be connected directly to the 12V power supply
of the drilling machine. It should not be connected, either
directly, or indirectly via adapters or battery eliminators
to any mains supply. Such connection may cause malfunction
or damage to the product, or may cause unacceptable
interference to other products also connected to the mains supply.
Please note that electrostatic discharges to the DataView may cause temporary loss or corruption of the
LCD or LED display. To restore the display, switch the unit off and then back on again.
The LCD provides the Drilling machine operator all the relevant data transmitted from the DataSonde
to the
DrillTrack G2 Receiver and which is then relayed to the DrillTrack G2 DataView in real time.
The information will include, Tilt angle (inclination), Roll (clock), Depth (upon request), DataSonde
operating
Temperature and alarm conditions.
DataView alarms are as follows:
- DataSonde Temperature alarms.
- DataSonde Battery LOW alarm.
- DataView Battery LOW alarm.
A DataSonde Temperature alarm will occur at a temperature of 40 º C (104 F). The DataView sounder will
beep and the LCD will flash the high temperature. Such alarm indication will occur with every 5º C
Temperature increase.
At 75 º C (167 F) “ HI ” will be displayed and no Tilt angle or Roll data will be displayed until the
DataSonde temperature falls below 40 º C (104 F).
Remote steering
A row of nine LEDS gives the Drilling machine operator left/right remote steering information. This
information allows the Drilling machine operator to steer the drillhead Left/Right towards the
DrillTrack
G2 Receiver and past the DrillTrack G2 Receiver.
Operating in the remote steering mode, the DrillTrack G2 Receiver should be placed in the DrillTrack
G2 Tripod, facing the Drilling machine.
