Messages that communicate tracking system
information requiring user intervention or provide
important operation information appear in the top
center area of the display as shown.
Message Description Solution
SATURATED Signal from beacon or other noise is too large to
receive accurate signal. Move tracker away from
beacon (at least 2’/610 mm)
or eliminate noise source.
Auto-Gain Active... Tracker’s auto-gain feature is active. Some
features and data values will stop updating until
auto-gain is complete. Wait until message
disappears.
Beacon Regulating Beacon is adjusting its output to provide a stable
signal. Depth values and beacon calibration are
unavailable while beacon is regulating. Wait until message
disappears.
BEACON BATT LOW Beacon battery voltage is low. Replace Power Stick or
lithium beacon batteries.
BEACON POWER
LOW Beacon is close to being unable to provide a
stable output signal (is out of throttle). 1. Replace Power Stick
beacon battery.
2. Use lithium beacon
battery.
3. Change to compatible
beacon housing or call
your Ditch Witch dealer.
TILT The tracker can no longer compensate for its
position when calculating depth and offset
values. This occurs when the tilt of the tracker is
greater than 20° or the beacon pitch is greater
than 10% and the tracker tilt is greater than 5°. Adjust tracker so it is closer
to level until message
disappears.
