Raising the Bar.

DCI revolutionized the HDD industry with the introduction of the DigiTrak Locating system in 1991. The unique features of the new system provided greater accuracy for measuring the depth and location of the drillhead than prior systems.

TERATRAK

TeraTrak R1

The Wheel, Reinvented.

A major challenge of today’s bore plans is that they often become irrelevant a few rods in.

The TeraTrak™ R1 generates continuous job site topography and gives you the vital data to create and update your bore plan on-the-fly, so it never becomes obsolete.

A New Dimension in Bore Planning

does the math for you

Real-time terrain mapping allows you to easily create a continuous topography marked with utilities and waypoints

  • Measure and map precise elevations and distances along your drill path
  • Use in areas where GPS doesn’t work

fewer re-drills

TeraTrak™ R1 helps you solve bore plan problems on-the-fly.

  • No Bent Rods
  • Determine rig placement with a rod-by-rod entry plan
  • Create point-to-point bore plans as you go

cost saving

As you walk along the projected bore path, the R1 builds a terrain map in real-time. You can add utilities, waypoints, pins and notes to share with your crew or customers.

  • Faster Bores and Cost Saving
  • Export TeraTrak data for use in bore planners

QUALITY. DURABILITY. TRUSTED PERFORMANCE.

For 30 years DCI has been the leader in transmitter design and manufacturing. That means more durability, better signal transmission, and backed the industry’s best extended warranty: 5 year/750 hours

The DigiTrak Falcon F5+ transmitters with Multi-Power, Sub-k™, Fluid Pressure, Full-Scale Sensitive Pitch, and over 1000 frequencies to help you get the job done. Available in 24, 19, 15, and 8-in lengths.

The DigiTrak Falcon F2+ transmitters support Multi-Power and over 500 frequencies to help you avoid active interference. Available in 19, 15, and 8-in lengths.

The DigiTrak Falcon F1 transmitters, now available with Multi-Power, support dozens of frequencies to help you tackle simple jobs fast. Available in 15, and 8-in lengths.

The DigiTrak Falcon F5 transmitters with Multi-Power, Sub-k™, Fluid Pressure, Full-Scale Sensitive Pitch, and over 1000 frequencies to help you get the job done. Available in 24, 19, 15, and 8-in lengths.

The DigiTrak Falcon F2 transmitters support Multi-Power and over 500 frequencies to help you avoid active interference. Available in 15, and 8-in lengths.

DigiTrak F5® transmitters are available in five frequencies to combat interference. Two single-frequency transmitters and two dual-frequency transmitters are offered, in addition to two dual-frequency fluid pressure transmitters (FPT). F5 transmitters work with F5 systems only.

DigiTrak F Series™ transmitters are available in two frequencies, as well as cable and short-range options. These transmitters are compatible with F5® and F2® systems.

DigiTrak SE™ transmitters are available in the 12-kHz frequency. Compatible with SE systems only.

DigiTrak DucTrak™ transmitters are designed to track existing non-metal ducts to depths of 80 ft. DucTrak transmitters do not send out a roll/pitch signal and are not intended for horizontal directional drilling operations. These 12-kHz transmitters may be used with all receivers except the Mark Series.

REMOTE DISPLAYS

Vermeer BoreAssist

THE ULTIMATE HDD COMMAND CENTER

The touchscreen Aurora remote display is the ultimate command center designed with HDD Operators in mind. Faster data speed, longer range, and packed with everything you need to safely and easily navigate the underground.

Over 1000 Frequencies

The Aurora 8.4-in display is available freestanding or panel-mounted. The robust, color touchscreen supports LWD Live, Target Steering, and other applications that increase jobsite productivity.

Up to 160 ft (48m) Depth / 200 ft (61m) Data

The Aurora freestanding 10.4-in display is a color touchscreen with on- and off-rig docking stations. This rugged display supports LWD Live, Target Steering, and other applications that increase jobsite productivity.

100/125 ft (30/38m) Depth

The FCD is a rugged, entry-level display. A good choice for pit launchers and mini drills, its range also allows for longer shots.

  • Power Source: Li-ion or NiMH battery pack

LWD Live app

LWD LIVE

LWD Live lets you graph rod-by-rod details of the bore in real time. Capture rod number, pitch, depth, and duration of each rod drilled. Make better drilling decisions.

Target Steering app

target steering

The Target Steering app lets locating specialists place the Falcon receiver ahead of the drill head and create a “steering target”. Use target steering to increase productivity in everyday drilling scenarios and in tough situations where walk-over locating is unsafe or impractical.

The Aurora Strip Chart app

strip chart

The Aurora Strip Chart app lets you monitor temperature and fluid pressure data over time. See this data on a graph that includes the warning and critical levels specified in alarm settings on the main menu.

The Frequency Change app

Frequency Change

The Frequency Change app guides the drill rig operator through the process of changing the transmitter frequency band mid-bore using different rotation sequences. Get step-by-step guidance on changing between bands using the familiar 10-2-7 method or the newer Repeating Roll Sequence (RRS3) method.
