The DigiTrak Falcon F5 is DCI’s flagship locator, offering greatest interference fighting capablity, and the greatest depth and data range of DCI’s products. The Falcon F5 uses the highest and lowest frequencies in the industry to overcome both active and passive (rebar) interference along the bore path. The Falcon F5 also offers Log-While-Drilling (LWD), fluid pressure monitoring, and integrated GPS as an option.

Falcon F5 Is Now Passive Aggressive
The ability to choose the right transmitter frequency is more important than power in overcoming the effect of active interference. In October of 2015, DCI introduced Falcon technology, a significant new approach to overcoming active interference on HDD jobsites. DCI now introduces a new approach to addressing the problem of passive interference: sub-kilohertz frequencies. Falcon F5 with Sub-k™ Rebar capability allows a locating specialist to scan the jobsite and select the best frequency in the ultra-low frequency range of 0.33–0.75 kHz to combat passive interference

Falcon Innovation Continues
Falcon is the HDD industry’s only walkover guidance system able to specifically address both active and passive interference. Transmitter frequencies below 1 kHz are proven most effective for jobsites where passive interference is a problem. In addition, the new Falcon F5 receiver supports Full Scale Sensitive Pitch (FSSP) for 0.1% resolution through ±99.9% slope for precision grade work. The Falcon F5 receiver offers the industry’s first fully integrated GPS capability using the DigiTrak iGPS module. Snap on the iGPS module and it automatically powers on to receive and record satellite GPS data. Use the free LWD Mobile app to view the progress of the bore and overlay the iGPS locate points on your smart device.

The Falcon F5 Wideband Transmitter
A Falcon F5 transmitter provides versatility in all types of active interference at frequencies of 4.5–45 kHz. The Falcon F5 wideband design vastly outperforms single-frequency transmitters of past generations. It also comes standard with fluid pressure measurement. No other guidance system allows an operator to scan for active interference and then pair optimized frequencies to a transmitter at every jobsite. This provides substantial cost savings and increases pilot bore productivity.

The Falcon F5 Sub-k Rebar Transmitter
The newest entrant into the Falcon F5 wideband transmitter lineup is the Sub-k Rebar transmitter. It uses frequencies below 1 kHz and provides frequency selection options from 0.33–0.75 kHz. This frequency range is ideal for addressing project scenarios that exhibit passive interference. Whether sidewalk, roadway, or runway, the Sub-k outperforms other options above 1 kHz. These transmitters include fluid pressure measurement as a standard feature.

Ease of Use
Falcon F5 raises the bar on walkover locating system capability and ease of use. Our customers have always relied on the Falcon F5’s color, icon-driven screen for easy menu navigation. Ball-in- the-Box™ has never been more powerful and still provides a real-time status of the bore in progress. Minimize downtime caused by alternative products that claim to get the job done but often fall short. Keep your project on DigiTrak and maximize your productivity.

One Locator for All Your Jobsites

Falcon F5 uses over 1000 frequencies to overcome interference. Competitors offer at most 10. Falcon F5 selects the 25 best frequencies to use simultaneously. Competitors only use one at a time.

Each additional frequency in the Falcon F5 is an opportunity to get the job done on the first pass.
We divided 1000+ frequencies into 9 bands to help you choose the best frequencies to use. If conditions change, switch mid-bore to a second band.
For extreme interference, engage MAX mode to stabilize readings and increase depth and data range.

Features at a Glance

• Scans 1000+ of the highest and lowest frequencies used in the industry
• Sub-K Rebar beats passive interference with ultra-low frequencies
• Fullscale 0.1% precision pitch
• Monitors down hole fluid pressure
• MAX Mode boosts data range and stabilizes depth readings
• New Falcon V2 transmitters with MultiPower mode
• DataLog with iGPS

More Effective against Active Interference
Falcon F5 transmitters are versatile for all types of active interference at frequencies of 4.5–45 kHz. New V2 transmitters feature three power modes to strengthen the signal for deeper bores or extend battery life.

Cut thru Passive Interference
Falcon F5 with Sub-k Rebar uses the ultra-low frequency range of 0.33–0.75 kHz. This range is proven to be most effective for jobsites with passive interference such as rebar reinforced sidewalks, roadways, or runways.

Real-Time Data Logging and GPS Tracking
View the real-time progress of the bore and collect required data with the free Log-While-Drilling (LWD) Mobile app. Snap on the DigiTrak™ iGPS module to record GPS data while logging the bore. View the iGPS locate points on your smart device.

Remote Displays and Advanced Steering
Falcon F5 can be used with either the Aurora or the FCD remote displays. With Aurora Touchscreen Display you can use Target Steering to place the Falcon F5 locator ahead of the drill head as a target with left/right and up/down navigation. Falcon Compact Display (FCD™) is a rugged, entry-level display that allows the drill rig operator left/right remote steering with data for the range of the transmitter.
