- Page 3 The Echo transmitter has 3 separate frequency bands: 4 kHz is most appropriate when encountering passive interference. Examples of objects that cause passive interference are rebar, wire mesh, and metal fences. 19 kHz is the midrange band and will be the frequency used in most drilling situations.
- Page 4 1. Install batteries into the transmitter positive side down and install the battery cap with the provided battery cap tool. It is recommended that a double C lithium cell battery be used if operating in adverse soil conditions (like rock). This will prevent battery chatter, which can greatly reduce the life of normal C cell batteries.

- Page 6 Following are basic locating instructions for determining the location and depth of your Echo transmitter in the ground. Understanding How the Receiver Locates the Transmitter The Mag 6 System uses the “3 locate point” pattern to pinpoint the location and depth of the transmitter. Front Locate Point (FLP) Locate Line (LL) Rear Locate Point (RLP)
- Page 7 In this scenario the transmitter is behind you and you are walking toward the FLP. Receiver view Notice how the arrow that indicates Actual position of receiver the nearest locate point is slightly to transmitter to the right and has a narrow base. Its position lets you know the FLP’s right-left information relative to the receiver.
- Page 8 Walk forward until the arrow shows two arrows on screen or flips. Then walk to the right to center the ball in the cross hairs. This is the Receiver view exact location of the FLP. Actual position of receiver to transmitter Notice the line that is now on top of the ball.
- Page 9 Notice that the ball has a line on top. This is the “point” in “Single Point”. The line points in the direction that the transmitter is pointing in. You now have the location of the FLP and the direction of the transmitter.
- Page 10 Projected Depth Projected depth tells you what depth the head will be at when it reaches the receiver if the operator maintains the indicated pitch. The Bore-To feature on the Mag 6S is very powerful. Operators can expect to receive good right-left steering, pitch, and roll information as far out as 100ft.
