DCI DigiGuide User Manual 11.04.2023 Important Safety Info Bootcamp Initial Setup Jobsite Setup During Drilling Post Drilling Advanced Topics Troubleshooting Reference DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 19625 62nd Ave S Suite B103 Kent, WA 98032 U.S. dci@digital-control.com | digital - control.com 1.800.288.3610 | 1.425.251.0559 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Important Safety Info GENERAL SAFETY WARNING Only operate your DCI guidance system in accordance with the operating instructions for your system. Serious injury and death, as well as property damage, can result if underground drilling equipment strikes a natural gas line, high-voltage electrical cable, or other utility. Work slowdowns and cost overruns can occur if you do not use your system correctly. You must properly calibrate your DCI guidance system in connection with each drilling project. If you fail to do so, depth readings will likely be inaccurate. Interference can lead to inaccurate depth readings and/or interruption of data. See "Special Notes About Interference" for more details. DCI guidance systems are used to locate and guide the transmitter

(housing) underground. They cannot be used to locate underground utilities. Failure to nd the front and rear locate points can lead to inaccuracies which may result in drilling o-path and striking an underground utility. The locate line on a DCI locator does not indicate the position of the drill head. DCI locators track the transmitter in its housing, which sits behind the drill bit. Also, when drilling steep and/or deep, the locate line may indicate a position behind or ahead of the transmitter. Please see "Steep and Deep" under Advanced Topics for important information about accurately locating the drill head when drilling steep and/or deep. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 2 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Ensure that all underground utilities have been located, exposed, and/or accurately marked prior to drilling. Follow all proper safety precautions, such as potholing. DCI equipment is not explosion-proof and should never be used near ammable or explosive substances. Wear jobsite protective/safety clothing such as dielectric boots, gloves, hard hat, high-visibility vest, and safety glasses. Maintain a minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) from the front of the locator to the users torso to ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements. Comply with federal, state, and local governmental regulations (such as OSHA) and all other customary or required safety precautions. If you have any questions about the operation of your guidance system, please contact DCI Customer Service for assistance. SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT INTERFERENCE While DCI guidance systems provide you with technology to combat active interference (and passive interference, with the Sub-k Rebar transmitter), no guidance system is immune to all interference. Interference can lead to inaccurate depth readings and/or interruption or loss of data. Never rely on data that does not display quickly and/or remain stable. The Falcon frequency optimizer selects frequencies based on measured interference at a specic time and location. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 3 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Interference levels change with time and with even minor changes in location. The frequency optimizer is not a substitute for prudent operator judgment. If performance drops while drilling, consider switching to the other selected band (not available on the Falcon F1) or use Max Mode. An A on the screen can indicate signal Attenuation due to the presence of excessive interference, which can make depth readings inaccurate. Attenuation is normal in shallow depths less than 8 ft (2.4 m). If the signal strength is also ashing; this indicates extreme interference. Depth and locate points may be compromised and the locator will not calibrate. Interference is classied as either active (generating electro-magnetic signals) or passive (material that can conduct or block electro-magnetic signals). Sources of interference may include:

Active Trac signal loops Buried dog fences Cathodic protection Radio communications Security systems Microwave towers Power, phone, ber-trace and cable TV lines Passive Metal pipes Rebar Trench plates Chain-link fences DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 4 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Vehicles Saltwater/salt domes Conductive earth, such as iron ore If you have any questions about the operation of your guidance system, please contact DCI Customer Service for assistance. ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS System working altitude: up to 6562 ft (2000m). Storage and transportation temperature: -40 to 149F (-40 to 65C). Operation may be compromised if the equipment is subjected to conditions outside these specied limits. Ship in original carrying case or packaging of sucient durability to prevent mechanical shock to equipment during transportation. If you have any questions about the operation of your guidance system, please contact DCI Customer Service for assistance. STORAGE AND SHIPPING OF BATTERIES Remove the batteries from all system components during shipping and prolonged storage. Failure to do so may result in battery leakage, which may lead to risk of explosion, health risks, and/or damage. Store and transport batteries using a suitable protective case that will keep batteries safely isolated from one another. Failure to do so may result in short circuits, which may lead to hazardous conditions including re. Lithium-ion batteries must be packaged and shipped by trained and certied personnel only. Never ship damaged batteries. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 5 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 If you have any questions about the operation of your guidance system, please contact DCI Customer Service for assistance. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 6 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Bootcamp HDD LOCATING HISTORY Locating in the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry was initially based on locating a buried cable by sweeping the locator back and forth to nd the highest signal strength (peak signal), indicating that the locator was over the cable. Unfortunately, this method did not always guarantee an accurate location of the cable, nor did it provide any depth information. This peak signal method was adapted to HDD with the introduction of a transmitter that provides information on the position and depth of the drill head. However, this method is unreliable and inaccurate because the peak signal strength is not always directly above the transmitter housing. In addition, peak signal locating doesnt show where the drill tool is headed. Think of drilling like driving a car: it is more eective to look ahead through the windshield to see where you are going than to look down at the road through the oorboard to keep the car (drill tool) on the road (drill path). YOUR DIGITRAK FALCON GUIDANCE SYSTEM The Falcon locators are part of the integrated Digital Guidance System. The system comes standard with a locator, a remote display, a transmitter, batteries, and a battery charger. You can purchase additional transmitters, batteries, and the R1 terrain mapper from your local dealer. You can nd a chart of the compatible transmitters in the Reference Chapter in the "Compatible Transmitters" article. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 7 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 1. Locator - The locator displays and interprets the information received from the transmitter in the drill housing. 2. Aurora Display - A freestanding, color touchscreen that displays the locator information and rod-by-rod drill information. A core suite of apps is included:

LWD Live, Target Steering, Strip Chart, and Frequency Change. 3. Battery cables 4. Battery and charger 5. Transmitter - A transmitter generates a magnetic eld detected by the Falcon locator. The transmitter must be paired and calibrated to the locator prior to use. The manuals for these components are available in the DigiGuide. Transmitter articles are included in the locator manuals in the Advanced chapter and apply to all transmitters listed in the article "Compatible Transmitters" in the Reference chapter. BALL-IN-THE-BOX GUIDANCE DCIs design uses a locate point in the transmitter signal. The Front Locate Point (FLP), which is out ahead of the transmitter, shows where the transmitter housing is heading. DCI invented the Ball-in-the-Box user interface to make it quick and intuitive to nd a locate point, speeding up drilling jobs: just move the locator so the ball moves into the box on the screen. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 8 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Finding a locate point also helps you nd the drill head itself. There is a second locate point behind the transmitter called the Rear Locate Point (RLP). The two locate points, combined with a Locate Line (LL), pinpoint the precise location of the transmitter housing below ground. They are arranged like an airplane, where the Front Locate Point is the planes cockpit, the Rear Locate Point is the tail, and the Locate Line is the wings. If your drill path requires a certain amount of depth or to maintain a constant pitch, use the predicted depth feature at the Front Locate Point. This eliminates the need for depth readings over the transmitter, speeding up the drilling process. INTERFERENCE AND SIGNAL STABILITY Interference can cause incorrect locate data that reduces locating accuracy. There are two dierent types of interference that can distort the transmitter signal: active and passive. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 9 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Active interference, or noise, consists of anything that emits a signal that interferes with the transmitter signal. Example sources include power lines, radio towers, cathodic protection, ber tracer lines, invisible dog fences, security systems, and trac signal loops. Falcons frequency optimizer nds the best frequencies to avoid noise. Passive interference consists of anything that blocks or distorts the transmitter signal resulting in incorrect depths or missing data. Example sources include rebar, guard rails, bridge abutments, chain link fencing, salt/saltwater, and soil high in metal ore. The Falcon sub-kHz transmitter

(available for Falcon F5 and F5+ only) helps cut through passive interference without distorting the signal. An A on the screen can indicate signal Attenuation due to the presence of excessive interference, which can make depth readings inaccurate. Attenuation is normal in shallow depths less than 8 feet (2.4 m). If the signal strength is also ashing, this indicates extreme interference. Depth and locate points may be compromised and the locator will not calibrate. OPTIMIZE EVERY JOB Noise varies by amount and frequency depending on where you are and even the time of day. Thats why its important to nd the best frequencies for every bore. This is called frequency optimization, and only Falcon has it. Using frequencies with the highest probability of success against noise increases locating accuracy and reduces the risk of tripping out. Falcons frequency optimizer scans through hundreds of frequencies, then bundles those with the lowest noise into nely-tuned bands that work best for the current job. Select two bands and switch between them mid-bore if needed (not available on the Falcon F1 with singleband). DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 10 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 The Falcon locators with Quick Scan Pair oer features to make the selection of bands faster and easier. Two clicks select the two preset bands selected for your region. MENU NAVIGATION The Falcon F5/F2/F5+/F2+ has a toggle switch on top and a trigger switch under the handle to navigate the menu system and select options. Use the 4-way toggle switch to access a menu, move between menu options, and open shortcuts. Shortcuts require you to hold the toggle for a second or longer; we call this a hold toggle. For example, from the Locate Mode screen, open a transmitter band selection shortcut by holding the toggle right. Use the trigger switch to power on the locator, select a menu option, and to take a depth reading. Pull and release (click) the trigger to select. In some cases, youll need to hold the trigger for a second or more to use a function, such as turning the locator on or taking a depth reading. BENEFITS OF DATALOGGING Utilities increasingly require a digital as-built report to ensure drilling parameters were met. The DataLog feature on your locator lets you easily capture and store the rod-by-rod data of your pilot bore. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 11 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 When used with DCIs LWD Mobile app, geo-tagging the entry and exit automatically ties the as-built to a physical location. With a DigiTrak DataLog Management (DDM) subscription, use your mobile device to upload DataLogs to your cloud account even during drilling to show progress to back-oce personnel. After importing your DataLog job into our Log-While-Drilling (LWD) 3.0 software, you can edit, annotate, and nalize the precise report you or your customer requires. On the DigiTrak Aurora remote display, use our free LWD Live app to view the drill prole in real-time as each rod is completed. SCREEN ELEMENTS OVERVIEW The Locate Mode, Depth, and Predicted Depth screens are the primary screens you will use for locating. When the locator is detecting a signal from a transmitter, the Locate Mode screen provides real-time data about the transmitters location, temperature, pitch, roll, and signal strength. Depth data appears when the trigger is held at the Locate Line (LL) and predicted depth appears when held at the Front Locate Point.

Do not use a spring with a SuperCell, LiR, or FTA. The transmitter is powered once batteries are inserted and the cap is installed. SET HEIGHT-ABOVE-GROUND (STANDARD) STEP 1 OF 7 Stu You Should Know Use standard Height-Above-Ground (HAG) to set a height measurement on the locator so you dont have to put it on the ground for a depth reading. Raising the locator above the ground also provides separation from underground interference that might otherwise reduce the transmitters range or cause variable readings. If you are using TrakStand HAG, see "Turn on Height Above Ground" in the During Drilling chapter. HAG must be turned on manually each time after the locator is powered on or calibrated. STEP 2 OF 7 To measure for standard HAG, hold the locator at your side as if you were holding a suitcase. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 21 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 STEP 3 OF 7 Measure the distance between the ground and the bottom of the locator using a tape measure.

DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 48 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 If the LL does not appear, go to the FLP and hold the trigger to show the predicted depth until the R appears. STEP 10 OF 12 Ensure the locator is on the line connecting the two marked locate points. Position the locator so the LL passes through the center of the box. The transmitter housing should be beneath this point as long as the transmitter is relatively level (see "Steep and Deep" under Advanced Topics). The locator can face toward or away from the drill as long as it is parallel to the direction of drilling. STEP 11 OF 12 Hold the trigger to take a depth reading. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 49 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 If the signal strength is red and ashing, this indicates extreme interference. If

you hold the trigger for longer than ve seconds, the locator will enter Max Mode

, which can help with unstable data caused by interference or extreme depths. STEP 12 OF 12 Continue Locating as the Drill Head Moves After the drill head moves forward another rod, nd the new RLP, FLP, and then the LL. If the new FLP is in line with the prior locate points (a straight bore line), it is unnecessary to nd a new RLP. For a curved drill path, always identify both the FLP and RLP. If you have a straight drill path but the FLP is to the left or right of the line projected from the previous locate points, this may indicate a drill head deection or interference aecting the transmitters signal.

RLP 2. LL 3. FLP When the transmitter is pitched up or down, the transmitter signal eld also tilts. When the transmitter is pitched down (negative pitch), the locate line on the screen reects a future position of the transmitter, assuming the transmitter stays on the same trajectory (projected depth). When the transmitter is pitched up (positive pitch, shown below), the locate line on the screen reects a position behind the transmitter. The depth reading on the locator is based on the projected depth point, which is not the same as the actual depth of the transmitter.

TARGET STEERING INTRODUCTION The Target Steering guidance method allows the Falcon locator to be placed ahead of the drill head and used as a steering target. Use it to distance the locator from rebar that is causing signal interference and to drill where walkover locating is not possible. Target Steering is typically only used on a straight drill path under level ground, not a curved path, with terrain changes, or to correct a signicantly o-course bore. The maximum distance the locator can be placed ahead of the drill head for accurate up/down Target Steering is 35 ft (10.7 m). Within this range, starting with the drill head approximately level, the maximum depth and pitch changes are approximately 4 ft (1.2 m) and 14%, respectively. Beyond this distance, depth information becomes less accurate. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 62 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Data and left / right steering are usable for the entire range of the transmitter. Target Steering assumes that the locator is on the ground or at the height set with a TrakStand with HAG enabled. The locator ignores the handheld Height-Above-Ground (HAG) setting. The Falcon Compact display does not support Target Steering. TARGET STEERING STEP 1 OF 7 Toggle up from the Locate Mode screen. STEP 2 OF 7 The number on the screen

shows the last target depth set. If it matches your desired target depth, select the checkmark. STEP 3 OF 7 To change the target depth shown, use the keypad. If TrakStand HAG is enabled, but drilling shallower than 1.5 ft (0.5 m), adjust the TrakStand HAG height. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 63 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 If using standard HAG and holding the locator to distance from rebar or drilling shallower than 1.5 ft (0.5 m), add the height to the target depth since standard HAG is ignored for Target Steering. STEP 4 OF 7 Place the locator on the drill path with its battery compartment facing the drill head. Target Steering guides the transmitter to be inline with the locator's handle when it reaches the target beneath the locator. For accurate depth information, use the horizontal distance reading on the Target Steering display to ensure the locator is no more than 35 ft (10.7 m) in front of the transmitter. If you go past 35 ft (10.7 m) do not rely on the depth and up/down steering information. Instead, monitor pitch data. STEP 5 OF 7 1. Horizontal distance from transmitter to locator 2. Current transmitter depth below the plane of the locator DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 64 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 At this point, the drill rig operator uses the remote display to drill to the target. STEP 6 OF 7 When the horizontal distance is almost the same as the current depth, move the locator farther out to continue Target Steering. If the drill head passes this point, depth and horizontal distance values on the Aurora become invalid. STEP 7 OF 7 From the Locate Mode screen, toggle down to turn o Target Steering. GLOSSARY DEFINITIONS

*TARGET DEPTH A value programmed into the locator, so it can be positioned ahead of the transmitter housing and used as a steering target. The value programmed should be the desired depth of the transmitter when it reaches the point below the locator. If a locator is placed above ground level, such as to provide separation from interference, that height must be added to the target depth. Note: If using a Falcon Compact Display, only left/right steering information is available. The locator used with the Falcon Compact Display must still have a target depth set. This target depth can be any value. ENABLE FULL SCALE SENSITIVE PITCH (FSSP) STEP 1 OF 3 Things You Should Know DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 65 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Full Scale Sensitive Pitch (FSSP) provides pitch information on your locator when used with a 15-inch or 19-inch transmitters.

STEP 7 OF 10 Select Pair to pair and select power level. Skip calibration. STEP 8 OF 10 Move to the other location with high noise, return to Frequency Optimization, and scan again. DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 69 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 STEP 9 OF 10 Toggle to the lowest band, click to select, then click again to assign it as the Down band. Before assigning the Down band, you must pair the Up band to the transmitter. Otherwise rescanning will erase the current frequencies. STEP 10 OF 10 Select Pair to pair and select power level for the Down band before proceeding to calibration as you normally would when pairing both bands at one location. GLOSSARY DEFINITIONS

*INTERFERENCE Your locator can only detect active interference, not passive interference, such as rebar. Lower frequency bands tend to perform better around passive interference. Middle bands can perform better in deeper bores and may have longer Target Steering capability. High bands have slightly less signal strength, but tend to oer better performance around active interference such as power lines.

*BAND WITH THE LEAST NOISE DIGITAL CONTROL, INC 70 DIGITRAK FALCON F5+ USER MANUAL DCI DigiGuide 11.04.2023 Interference varies with time and location, and no band works perfectly in all conditions. Dierent bands are better for dierent kinds of interference. Lower frequency bands tend to perform better in passive interference. Middle bands can perform better in deeper bores and may have longer Target Steering capability. Higher frequency bands have slightly less signal strength but tend to oer better performance around active interference such as power lines.
