SE Transmitter Specifications
DCI manufactures the standard-range ST transmitter for use with the SE system. It transmits a signal at
12 kHz and provides depth readings to approximately 50 ft (15.24 m). Pitch readings are displayed in 1%
or 1° increments (from 0% to 100% or 0° to 45°).
The transmitter fits inside the drill housing and emits electromagnetic signals that the SE receiver “hears”.
The receiver converts these signals to display the drill head location, position, and heading on the
receiver and remote display screens. An index slot at the front end assists in proper alignment of the
transmitter in the housing.
The transmitter and receiver must have matching regional designation numbers to ensure that they
comply with local operating requirements. The transmitter’s regional designation number is located inside
the globe icon (
) near the serial number on the transmitter’s battery compartment, as shown in the
photo below. This number must match that of your receiver for proper communication (see startup screen
figure under “Turning on the Receiver” in the Receiver section.)
Standard-Range ST Transmitter
The ST transmitter measures 15 in. (38.1 cm) long and 1.25 in. (3.175 cm) in diameter and must fit snugly
in the transmitter housing. See “Transmitter Housing Requirements” later in this section.
NOTE: The range of any transmitter with any DCI receiver is largely dependent upon the amount of
interference at a job site. The range decreases as interference increases.
