Falcon frequency optimizer helps minimize the impact of active interference. The Falcon F1™ single-band transmitter supports frequencies from 9.0 kHz to 13.5 kHz with infrared pairing of receiver and transmitter. Additional features include: 0.1% precision pitch for completing critical grade bores, max mode noise filtering boosts fringe data and stabilizes depth readings, and 12-position roll clock with roll offset. The Falcon F1 is also compatible with DigiTrak Aurora® touchscreen display.

Falcon receivers use a different approach to tackling interference. The Falcon F1 receiver allows a customer to scan for active interference along the bore path using Falcon’s frequency optimizer. Results for Band 11 are shown on the screen of the receiver and can then be paired with the Falcon F1 or FT1S transmitter. For extreme interference, engage Max Mode for a more stable depth reading.

FALCON EQUALS FLEXIBILITY 

Falcon F5 automatically scans over 1000 frequencies and chooses
the best within each band for your job site. Drill with two bands, and
switch between them mid-bore as interference conditions change.
Using 25 frequencies simultaneously allows you to get the job done
the first time, while the competition is limited to using only one
frequency at a time while drilling. 

F5 Falcon System is the flagship system of the DigiTrak Falcon line of guidance systems. Falcon technology represents a significant advancement in helping crews to overcome one of the biggest obstacles to completing their underground drilling projects: active interference. Falcon F5 provides crews with Falcon technology alongside all the advanced features of the classic F5 system, like DataLog, fluid pressure monitoring, and dual frequency bands. In today’s competitive underground drilling landscape of deeper bores and more challenging jobsites, interference has emerged as one of the primary obstacles to completing HDD installations on time. Interference varies from jobsite to jobsite, at different points within the same jobsite, and even with time of day. The Falcon approach involves dividing a wide range of frequencies into bands, then selecting the frequencies that are least susceptible to the interference in each band. Falcon F5 has nine bands that each use the bestperforming of hundreds of frequencies between 4.5 and 45 khz. The system is easy to learn and simple to use every day.

The DigiTrak SE Locating System is used during horizontal directional drilling operations to locate andtrack a transmitter installed in the drill head. You can use your existing DigiTrak Mark Series remote, MFD(Multi-Function Display) remote, or FSD (F Series Display) remote to view the transmitter data at the drillrig. The system consists of a handheld receiver, a transmitter, a battery charger system, and two rechargeable nickel-metal hy dride (NiMH) battery packs used for powering the receiver.

Locating is streamlined using the SE receiver’s graphic display and menu system. The real-time graphicsguide you in positioning a target in a box on the display window to help locate the transmitter.

The Falcon wideband technology represents an important advancement in the detection of active interference at the jobsite. Falcon extends the performance range of the F2 receiver with a durable system that can be programmed to address the variability in jobsite interference.
In today’s competitive underground drilling landscape of deeper bores and more challenging jobsites, interference has emerged as one of the primary obstacles to completing HDD installations on time.
Interference varies from jobsite to jobsite, at different points within the same jobsite, and even with time of day. After extensive research and testing in some of the most challenging interference environments in the world, DCI concluded that selecting a transmitter frequency that sidesteps interference is far more effective at overcoming this obstacle than simply increasing power.

The Falcon approach involves dividing a wide range of frequencies into bands, then selecting the frequencies that are least susceptible to the interference in each band. Falcon F2 has nine bands that each use the best performing of hundreds of frequencies between 4.5 and 45 khz. Optimize one band for best performance on the majority of the bore and the other for a high-interference segment. The system is easy to learn and simple to use every day. By following a few easy steps at the beginning of each pilot bore, you will be ready to drill within minutes.

Competing systems define success in terms of depth and data range. Falcon technology also provides
tremendous range, but that isn’t what makes Falcon great. DCI defines success as enabling crews to
complete the largest number of jobs possible in the shortest periods of time. Falcon technology is designed
around that principle.

Active interference is one of the primary obstacles to completing HDD projects. It blocks a locating system from receiving data that enables a crew to navigate the drill head. It can also impair the accuracy of depth measurements. The ability of a locating system to perform well in interference has become a crucial factor in maintaining productivity and completing jobs on time.DCI has taken a revolutionary approach to tackling active interference. DigiTrak Falcon receivers analyze jobsite interference across hundreds of frequencies, then group the best frequencies into each of nine bands. You choose the two best bands—every bore, every day. Using frequencies tailored to every bore, you’ll complete more challenging HDD projects at greater depths—with just one wideband transmitter.

DigiTrak Falcon F5 Horizontal Directional Drilling System

Introducing DigiTrak Falcon F5

The Falcon F5 is an extension of the classic F5 locating system. DCI's revolutionary Falcon technology minimizes the effects of active interference (noise) on the jobsite with a single wideband transmitter. The Falcon F5 combines this new technology with everything a professional contractor values in DCI's flagship F5 locating platform, including superior ease of use, updated DataLogÒ software, and fluid pressure monitoring.

Active Interference

Interference is one of the primary obstacles to completing HDD projects and can impair the accuracy of underground depth measurements. The ability of a locating system to perform well in interference has become a crucial factor in maintaining crew productivity and completing jobs on time.

Not All Job Sites are Created Equal

Interference varies between jobsites. The frequency at which the transmitter operates is the single most important factor affecting the performance of a walkover locator, and therefore your ability to get the job done.

Falcon Innovation

As a leader in the HDD industry, DCI has taken an innovative approach to tackling active interference. The Falcon F5 receiver measures jobsite noise and clearly displays several bands of the quietest transmitter frequencies to select from. Choose two of the quietest bands and complete more HDD projects at greater depths in the noisiest environments.

How Does DigiTrak Falcon F5 Work?

Using the F5 receiver's familiar menus and navigation, the Falcon frequency optimizer scans for noise between 4.5 kHz and 45 kHz. Upon completing the scan, the receiver displays a simple chart that depicts the noise levels across several bands. Select the two quietest bands and pair with the Falcon wideband transmitter. In areas with varied interference, switch between bands to stabilize data readings and complete the bore. For extreme interference, engage Max Mode for maximum performance.

Ease of Use

Falcon F5 combines Falcon technology with the features you have come to rely on from DCI's flagship F5 locating system, including a bright color screen, simple toggle-click menu navigation, fluid pressure data, and Roll Offset. Advanced features include Target Steering, DataLog, and Bluetooth communication. DCI’s patented Ball-in-the-Box™ visualization of the transmitter still provides real-time status of the bore and keeps your job on track. All backed by world-class customer support.
