Accurate mapping relies on confidence in what’s underground. ARES contributes by strengthening signal clarity and target identification, helping distinguish between utilities and interference and supporting better depth and alignment interpretations.
Transmitter Defaults
Transmitter Defaults mode is the fast way to get your locator ready to drill. Each ARES comes preloaded with two bands that work best for each geographical region. ARES will automatically run a scan in the background to fine-tune those bands for your specific environment.
The best mode to get started quickly.
Advanced AI
Once you enter your job details (bore depth and rebar), walk your bore path. This is where ARES’ advanced Al takes over. With more memory and processing power than Falcon, ARES scans your entire bore path in real time, combining environmental data with Al insights to find the best options for cutting through interference-even in the worst conditions.
Al-powered scanning that makes even the toughest bores easy.
