Remote Steering
The remote steering function allows the SE receiver to be placed out ahead of the drill head and used as
a left/right steering target. The receiver is positioned on level ground so that it is facing in the same
direction as drilling. To activate the remote steering function, you must program a reference depth into the
receiver that matches your current drilling depth. See “Menu Options” in the Receiver section. When
remote steering has been activated, the locate screen on the receiver will appear as shown below.
SE Locating Display with Remote Steering
When the receiver is properly positioned and a reference depth has been programmed into the receiver,
the steering indicator on the remote displays the left/right steering data. The drill can then be guided to a
location directly below the receiver. More information on correctly positioning the receiver and using the
steering data is given below.
