Roll and Pitch Calibration
Roll calibration is only necessary if using a TX beacon in a non-standard housing. To calibrate roll, install
beacon into housing, navigate TK tracker to Beacon>Calibrate Roll and follow prompts.
Pitch calibration is only necessary when using a grade beacon (86G or TXQG). To calibrate pitch, install
beacon into housing and level housing to 0%. On the tracker, check the beacon pitch reading. If the
reading is a value other than zero, navigate to Beacon>Calibrate Pitch and follow prompts until the
tracker shows a pitch value of 0%.
Test Beacon Operation
Step approximately 15’ (4.57 m) from beacon. Turn on tracker, select frequency, check beacon mode, and
adjust gain so that signal strength is approximately 50%.
• Roll beacon and look at display for corresponding roll positions.
• Tilt beacon and look at display for corresponding pitch positions.
• Check beacon battery status and temperature.
