• Increased depth and data Range: 100/125 ft (30/38m)combined with more frequencies to get more jobs done.
• ​Quick Scan Pair: With just two clicks, it’s now easier to scan, pick and pair your locator to custom frequencies.
• ​Dual Power Mode Transmitters: Two easily selectable power modes for deeper bores, longer battery life and faster data rates.
• Falcon Technology: Scans over 60 frequencies to customize your locator for your job site
• Remote Displays: Use with Falcon Compact Display or with Aurora Remote display for access to Target steering.
• Easy to Upgrade: With the DigiTrak Falcon F1 you can upgrade to Falcon F2+ at any time, and it’s quick, easy, and affordable.

The Falcon F1 replaces DCI’s popular DigiTrak SE and introduces Falcon technology to customers who typically perform short and shallow bores. DCI’s Falcon technology minimizes the effect of active interference on job sites, resulting in increased uptime for HDD crews. The Falcon F1 is a single-band receiver that uses the same frequency optimization technology as other Falcon receivers.

Falcon frequency optimizer helps minimize the impact of active interference. The Falcon F1™ single-band transmitter supports frequencies from 9.0 kHz to 13.5 kHz with infrared pairing of receiver and transmitter. Additional features include: 0.1% precision pitch for completing critical grade bores, max mode noise filtering boosts fringe data and stabilizes depth readings, and 12-position roll clock with roll offset. The Falcon F1 is also compatible with DigiTrak Aurora® touchscreen display.

Falcon receivers use a different approach to tackling interference. The Falcon F1 receiver allows a customer to scan for active interference along the bore path using Falcon’s frequency optimizer. Results for Band 11 are shown on the screen of the receiver and can then be paired with the Falcon FT1S transmitter. For extreme interference, engage Max Mode for a more stable depth reading.

Improved performance and features - Let’s take a look at the highlights.

New Transmitters features: The new dark blue transmitter tube is now featured across the DigiTrak line. The Falcon F1 Transmitter broadcasts multiple frequencies simultaneously to ensure interruption-free operation. Unlike other HDD transmitters that only broadcast a single frequency at a time.

• Compatible with lithium-ion rechargeable batteries: Our new transmitter adapter is designed specifically for a single 21700 Lithium Rechargeable (LiR) battery with built-in protection. This adapter incorporates a lock-out and is designed to fit the Blue tube DigiTrak transmitters.
• Features two power modes: Standard Power mode offers double the depth range from previous generations, While Low Power mode offers Faster data rates & longer transmitter battery life
• Made in USA: Our FT1 V2 Transmitter is proudly made in the USA.

Simplified, Easier to Use Menus: The Falcon F1 menu has been simplified and streamlined to guide operators quickly and easily through the set-up process and make commonly used features more accessible.

• Quick Scan Pair: This standout feature gives you a two-click custom setup process without sacrificing the signal optimizing and interference fighting features of Falcon Technology. When you initiate Quick Scan Pair, your system will scan the area for signal noise in the 9.0KHZ and 13.5KHZ range and automatically select the best frequencies within that range for your project. Those frequencies, along with your chosen power mode are then easily paired to the transmitter to give you a customized solution for each project.
• New Locate Mode: Falcon F1 locate mode allows locator/operator to switch seamlessly between Standard ball in the box locating and Look-Ahead locating

TrakStand Compatible: The Falcon F1 is compatible with TrakStand and features a preprogrammed height above ground setting for easy setup and seamless transition from TrakStand to Handheld. As well as Target Steering Capable with Falcon+ TrakStand HAG

Target Steering: Falcon F1 now features Target Steering for an easy hands-free operation for locators and precise 360-degree steering guidance on the Aurora remote display.

• Target your Depth: Program your target depth and place the receiver at the intended target. The Remote display will automatically shift to target steering mode
• Aurora Remote display Integrated:  Gives the operator easy-to-follow and intuitive guidance needed to safely advance and steer the drill head to its intended target.
• TrakStand Compatible: Target steering can be used with or without TrakStand. Height above ground easily engages to account for TrakStand Height. No tape measure or bending over required.
