Locating
Locating in High-Interference Area with the F5 Receiver
Locating with the F5 system is relatively easy and intuitive, but you must understand some locating basics
first. This section begins by explaining the locate points (FLP and RLP) and locate line (LL); the geometry
of these elements with respect to the transmitter; and the proper method for marking locate points once
they are found. Then the standard locating procedure is described, followed by instructions for tracking
“on-the-fly” (while the tool is moving) and for tracking the transmitter when you cannot walk over it, called
off-track locating.
For a detailed explanation of how to track the transmitter when it is steep and deep, please read the
information provided in Appendix B: Projected Depth Versus Actual Depth and the Fore/Aft Offset.
