Using XRange
Fluid pressure data from an FPT transmitter and audio are not
supported in XRange
(XR) mode; monitor temperature visually.
XRange Real-Time Method
The receiver is using this method when you have selected the XR
check box and “XR” displays on the top right of the Locate screen
(see next image). Locate as you normally would.
Transmitter data will update less frequently on the receiver and
remote display as XRange works to overcome interference. Always
use this method first before trying XRange Max.
XRange Max Method
The drill head must be stationary when using XRange Max, which
helps stabilize fluctuating XRange roll/pitch data. If the Real-time
method did not produce data, the Max method will not either.
1. Hold the trigger at the Locate screen to take a depth reading.
2. As the XRange Max reading
counter increases, the receiver
takes multiple data readings to
determine a roll/pitch value. Greater
interference or deeper bores will
require a higher number of
readings.
3. When the roll and pitch data display
is steady, and before the reading counter reaches 99 and
restarts, note the data and release the trigger.
At a count of 99, XRange Max deletes all current readings, resets
the counter, and starts taking new readings; this is the same as
releasing and holding the trigger to start a new XRange Max
reading. Holding the trigger beyond a count of 99 does not increase
the reliability of the current reading.
Take three XRange Max readings; all three readings must be
identical and stabilize within 10 counts. See F5 System Supplement
A for additional important information on using XRange in high-
interference environments.
