Finding the Front Locate Point (FLP)
The locating procedure described here assumes that (a) you are facing the drill, (b) the
transmitter is below ground and between you and the drill, and (c) the FLP is in front of you.
1. With the receiver on and in Locate mode, stand in front of the drill head at a distance of
approximately the depth of the drill head.
2. Observe the position of the locating ball ( ) relative to the receiver box on the display.
The figures below show the FLP ahead of and to the left of the receiver; as the drill head
gets deeper, the FLP will be found farther in front of the transmitter.
