Locating in the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry was initially based on locating a buried cable by sweeping the locator back and forth to find the highest signal strength (peak signal), indicating that the locator was over the cable. Unfortunately, this method did not always guarantee an accurate location of the cable, nor did it provide any depth information.

This “peak signal” method was adapted to HDD with the introduction of a transmitter that provides information on the position and depth of the drill head. However, this method is unreliable and inaccurate because the peak signal strength is not always directly above the transmitter housing.

In addition, peak signal locating doesn’t show where the drill tool is headed. Think of drilling like driving a car: it is more effective to look ahead through the windshield to see where you are going than to look down at the road through the floorboard to keep the car (drill tool) on the road (drill path).

The DigiTrak ARES Genesis locator is a new generation of locator with new technology, upgraded features, and more power. All presented on bigger screens with informational text and better workflows.

• Simplified workflows and no more hidden menus or shortcuts.
• AI-powered Eagle Tech scans your entire bore path and selects the best frequencies out of 8 times as many frequencies than Falcon. You can also use the best pre-selected frequency bands for your region.
• No up or down bands. Choose A or B. How you load the transmitter battery doesn't matter.
• ARES Genesis SuperCore transmitters have more power, range, and a proprietary rechargeable battery. The Classic-Core transmitter can use multiple types of batteries. Both transmitters have two bands, which can include rebar, so you can switch mid-bore.
• Target mode and predicted depth mode provides predicted depth below the locator position.
• Rechargeable locator and SuperCoretransmitter batteries. The locator battery uses a standard USB-C connection.
• Over-the-air updates over Wi-Fi keep your locator up-to-date.
• Bluetooth allows pairing and easier calibrating transmitters in the housing above ground and calibrates all power levels and both bands at the same time.
• Built-in GPS with location tracking and lockout mode (with a Trak-It subscription）
• Transmitter SnooZe can be turned on and off from the locator.
• A universal saddle replaces the TrakStand and is compatible with a wider range of off-the-shelf tripods.
• More languages with more coming with future releases.

While DCI guidance systems provide you with technology to combat active interference (and passive interference, with the Sub-K® rebar enabled transmitter), no guidance system is immune to all interference.

Interference can lead to inaccurate depth readings and/or interruption or loss of data. Never rely on data that does not display quickly and/or remain stable.

The ARES Genesis uses Eagle Tech to select frequencies based on measured interference at a specific time and location.

Interference levels change with time and with even minor changes in location. The frequency optimizer is not a substitute for prudent operator judgment. If performance drops while drilling, consider switching to the other selected band or use Max mode *.

Attenuation is normal in shallow depths less than 8 ft (2.4 m). If the signal strength is in a red box this indicates extreme interference. Depth and locate points may be compromised and the locator will not calibrate.

Interference is classified as either active (generating electro-magnetic signals) or passive (material that can conduct or block electro-magnetic signals). Sources of interference may include:

If you have any questions about the operation of your guidance system, please contact DCI Customer Service for assistance.

DCI’s design uses a “locate point” in the transmitter signal. The Front Locate Point (FLP), which is out ahead of the transmitter, shows where the transmitter housing is heading.

DCI invented the Ball-in-the-Box user interface to make it quick and intuitive to find a locate point, speeding up drilling jobs: just move the locator so the ball moves into the box on the screen.

Finding a locate point also helps you find the drill head itself.

There is a second locate point behind the transmitter called the Rear Locate Point (RLP). The two locate points, combined with a Locate Line (LL), pinpoint the precise location of the transmitter housing below ground.

They are arranged like an airplane, where the Front Locate Point is the plane’s nose, the Rear Locate Point is the tail, and the Locate Line is the wings.
 

If your drill path requires a consistent depth or to maintain a constant pitch, use the predicted depth feature at the Front Locate Point. This eliminates the need for depth readings over the transmitter, speeding up the drilling process.
 

When a transmitter is level (zero pitch) underground:

• the locate points (FLP and RLP) are at equal distances from the transmitter
• depth displayed on the locator is the actual depth, and
• the Locate Line (LL) indicates a position above the transmitter.

1. RLP
2. LL
3. FLP

When the transmitter is pitched up or down, the transmitter signal field also tilts.

When the transmitter is pitched down (negative pitch), the locate line on the screen reflects a future position of the transmitter, assuming the transmitter stays on the same trajectory (projected depth).

When the transmitter is pitched up (positive pitch, shown below), the locate line on the screen reflects a position behind the transmitter.

The depth reading on the locator is based on the projected depth point, which is not the same as the actual depth of the transmitter.

1. RLP
2. FLP
3. LL
4. Fore/aft offset
5. Projected depth
6. Transmitter at positive pitch
7. 30% (17°)

The differences in position and depth between the projected depth point and the actual location of the transmitter can be relatively small at low pitch and/or shallow depth.

When drilling at a steep pitch and/or significant depth, the differences are greater.

For example, if the transmitter is at a plus or minus 30% pitch and a 33'1" (10.1 m) depth, the locator depth reading will be 35' (10.7 m) (just under 6% difference from actual depth) and the locate line will be 6'6" (2 m) from being directly above the transmitter (-30% places the LL ahead and +30% places the LL behind).

You can use the pitch and the projected depth reading on your locator to determine the actual depth and the position (fore/aft) of the locate line:

Actual Depth

Fore/Aft Offset

For a given pitch, you can calculate actual or projected depth:

Utility companies and municipalities increasingly require a digital as-built report to ensure drilling parameters were met.

The Bore log feature on your ARES Genesis locator lets you easily capture and store the rod-by-rod data of your pilot bore, including adding the depth and type of utilities, pins and flags to mark features, and include offset and deviations for the running line.

When used with DCI’s DigiTrak LWD app, geo-tagging the entry and exit automatically ties the as-built to a physical location.

With a TeraTrak R1 App, create bore plans and import them directly into your Aurora display to compare rod placement to the planned bore.

With a free company and user account on the myDCI portal, upload bore logs from your locator to the LWD App on your mobile device.  With an additional LWD cloud subscription, you can upload and store your files on myDCI and share the files with the rest of your company even during drilling to show progress to back-office personnel.

After importing your bore log file into the Log-While-Drilling (LWD) software, you can edit, annotate, and finalize the precise report you or your customer requires.

On the DigiTrak Aurora remote display, use our free LWD Live app to view the drill profile in real-time as each rod is completed.

The ARES Genesis locator has a four-way D-pad on top and a trigger switch under the handle to navigate menus and select options.  

To turn on the locator, squeeze and hold the trigger for 2-3 seconds. 

Use the D-pad to scroll up or down menu options and buttons and then squeeze the trigger to select the button or option. The active button is blue.

The Home screen is an at-a-glance view of your guidance system, including paired transmitter, active bands and frequencies, battery life, connectivity, and quick access to menus.

The Locate mode, Depth, Estimated Depth, and Target mode screens are the primary screens you will use for locating.

When the locator is detecting a signal from a transmitter, the Locate mode and Target mode steering screens provide real-time data about the transmitter’s location, temperature, pitch, roll, signal strength, and downhole annular fluid pressure *.

From the Locate mode and Target mode  steering screens, you can take a depth reading at the Locate Line * (LL) and predicted depth at the Front Locate Point *(FLP). At any other time, you can take a depth estimate between the LL and FLP.

From the Locate mode screen, you can take a depth reading at the Locate Line * (LL) and predicted depth at the Front Locate Point *(FLP). At any other time, you can take a depth estimate between the LL and FLP.

Estimated depth should only be taken on the line between the LL and the FLP and is inaccurate beyond 35' (10.7m) from the LL or if behind the LL or off to the side of the centerline.  The locator must be facing down the bore path with the transmitter pointing at the ARES Genesis battery pack.

You can log a rod from an estimated depth reading, but only the pitch or a blank rod is logged.

For areas with strong background interference (noise), you can verify that the selected frequency bands will reach the depth needed by walking the intended bore path with both the locator and transmitter at the same distance apart as the depth of the bore.

This procedure takes two people, one holding the locator and walking the intended bore path and the other holding the transmitter. At the start of the bore path, have the two people stand the same distance apart as the bore depth.  They will walk the bore path, keeping parallel to each other. The locator operator monitors the Locate mode screen for a strong, steady signal.  Occasionally, the transmitter operator should adjust the pitch and roll of the transmitter so the locator operator can verify the speed and accuracy of the locator's readings. Note any locations where the data displayed becomes erratic or disappears. 

1. Maximum bore depth
2. Area of high interference
3. Intended bore path

Suggestions for dealing with interference

If pitch/roll data becomes erratic or is lost, move the locator away from the interference source while staying in range of the transmitter. You can use HAG, change the power level, or try off-track locating.

DigiTrak transmitters (Tx), with the exception of DucTrak, have temperature overheat indicators (temp dot) on the front end cap.

1. Black temp dot
2. Normal white temp dot

The temp dot has an outer yellow ring with a temperature-sensitive 1/8" white dot in the center. If the center temp dot is black, the transmitter has been exposed to excessive heat over 220°F (104°C) and should no longer be used and the warranty is voided.
