When it comes to mastering the underground, the Subsite Marksman Plus is a solid choice. This horizontal directional drilling guidance system is crafted for superb performance even in high-interference environments.
Built for both the greenhorn and the seasoned driller, the Marksman Plus’s streamlined design is devoid of any unnecessary complexity, offering a single toggle control that eliminates the need for any extraneous buttons and triggers, ensuring you’re operating at peak performance from the first day of the job.
The Marksman Plus’s user interface can also be adjusted to both “Classic View” and “Marksman View.” While Classic View contains the same interface that has made Subsite products so popular in years past, Marksman View’s updated, intuitive graphics and clear data display make it a major improvement over the traditional UI. So whether you’re an old hand or just breaking into the business, the Marksman Plus will feel like home.
In addition to its customizable user experience, the device flaunts a high-resolution, full-color, 5-inch TFT LCD screen that is optimized for outdoor viewing. It also features an Extended Range Mode that strengthens the depth readings and extends data range. Your productivity is ensured with a maximum of 2,000 feet between the tracker and drill operator.
Advanced locating
Another feature that sets the Marksman Plus apart is its performance in high-noise environments — ensuring you’ll never lose your way. The device’s advanced locating methods, including Walkover Mode and Drill-To Mode, let you zero in on the drill-head location with surgical precision. While Walkover Mode uses peak and null techniques to pinpoint locations, Drill-To Mode enables real-time corrections, vastly improving bore accuracy.
Connectivity is also a breeze with the Marksman Plus. An automatic Bluetooth tracker-beacon connection means no more fumbling for long cables, and the device’s rapid calibration with this connection not only saves time but also boosts productivity.
Because precision is paramount in drilling, the Marksman Plus delivers on exactness. With a 0.1% pitch resolution, the tracker is able to complete precision-grade work with ease, according to the manufacturer. Additionally, it is compatible with the Subsite Field Scout bore planning app, which minimizes risk and makes the actual drill time more efficient and effective.
The ease of use and accuracy of the Marksman Plus is anchored by its extraordinary battery life. The device is a relentless workhorse that can be used for 80 hours on a single charge, making it ready to power through job after job, day after day.
Moreover, the Marksman Plus is an integral part of the Subsite Green Ops process, which uses technology and information to provide a more comprehensive plan, greater control, and faster reporting, ultimately leading to safer and more productive drilling operations.
Subsite, the company behind the Marksman Plus, has been dedicated to developing HDD guidance systems since its founding in 1988. Over the past three decades, it has emerged as a leading name in electronics for the underground construction industry by providing everything from utility locators to inspection systems. Its unwavering commitment to innovation, customer feedback and exemplary support has cemented its position as the premier source of electronic technology for the safe and efficient installation, maintenance, and inspection of underground pipes and cables.
