Transmitter reliability is an essential element of success for HDD contractors. Transmitter failures result in lost productivity and missed deadlines. DCI designed the first transmitter to send roll and pitch to a receiver and hasn't stopped innovating since.
Housing Requirements
- DCI transmitters fit standard housings but may require a battery cap adapter in some cases.
- DCI’s transmitters require three slots equally spaced around the circumference of the drill head for optimal signal emission and maximum battery life
- The Fluid Pressure Transmitter is compatible with most drill housings that let fluid flow from the annulus around the housing to the four sensor ports on the front end cap; slots in the housing will satisfy this requirement. Housings with epoxied slots require a 1/8 in. diameter hole to allow fluid to reach the transmitter's sensor ports.
Specialty Transmitters
- XRange® Mode (x) – XR significantly extends roll/pitch data range, in some cases more than twice as far
- Fluid Pressure Transmitter (p) – Measures annular fluid pressure outside the drill head
- TensiTrak® System – Monitors both annular fluid pressure and the tension on the product during pullback
- SST® Steering Tool – Delivers accurate steering data without a costly wire grid
