The Bore-To feature on the Mag 6S is very powerful. 
Operators can expect to receive good right-left 
steering, pitch, and roll information as far out as 100ft.  

It is important to note that the depth is only a 
reference. 

As distance between the transmitter and 

receiver decreases, the accuracy increases. 

Never cross existing utilities while in the Bore-To mode. 
Expose and verify visually while crossing utilities.  

 

For best Bore-To results, 
the operator should locate 
up to the area that can’t 
be walked over and mark 
both the FLP and RLP* 
before moving the 
receiver to the other side.  
 
Once on the other side, 
place the receiver directly 
in-line and proceed with 
drilling using the right-left 
steering bar to keep the 
bore path in-line.  
 

 

Receiver 
should always 
face away from 
the drill rig

 

 

*It is best to place an object, like a traffic cone, at both the front 
and rear locate points so that a visual alignment can be viewed.  

 

 

Projected Depth 

Projected depth tells you what depth the head will be at when it 
reaches the receiver if the operator maintains the indicated 
pitch.
