Flags
Select a
Flag
when crossing any item of interest along the bore path, like a sidewalk, marked utility line, or
river bank. The receiver assigns a sequential flag number starting at 1. Enter the approximate distance along
the current rod (if halfway along a 3 m rod, enter 1.5 m). The receiver will calculate the total horizontal
distance of the flag based on the total number of rods already logged.
Pins
Select a
Pin
to mark the location of a nearby land feature point (station mark, survey flag, fire hydrant, light
post) that can help locate the bore path later. Setting a pin requires three pieces of data:
1. An identifying number. Use any number, like a survey station mark.
2. The approximate distance along the current rod (if halfway along a 3 m rod, enter 1.5 m).
3. The distance of the drill head to the right or left of the feature (perpendicular). In the preceding
image, because the drill head is to the right of the fire hydrant "feature", the pin is recorded as to the
right.
