New Falcon F5+ Guidance System: Key Advantages
New Advantages of Falcon Technology
Depth and data range upgraded to 55/67 meters, featuring expanded frequency coverage for more project applications.
Increased the depth and data range – 55/67 meters, and combined more frequencies to complete more engineering projects.
Multi-power – Three easily selectable power modes for deeper drilling, longer battery life and faster data transmission rates.
The Most Advanced Guidance System
Interference is the top challenge in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) – and the Falcon F5+ solves this with the widest frequency range of any guidance system on the market. Its ultra-low frequency Sub-K™ Rebar Sensor enables precise drilling through reinforced concrete, while higher frequencies combat active interference from cellular towers, traffic induction loops and power lines.
Equipped with the performance and versatility you need, the Falcon F5+ lets you complete every project safely, accurately and on time. One guidance system for all your HDD projects.
In summary, the New Falcon F5+ Guidance System is more than just a navigation tool—it is a strategic investment in construction project efficiency, accuracy, and profitability. With its unrivaled precision, user-friendly design, rugged durability, seamless integration, and exceptional support, it empowers construction professionals to tackle even the most complex projects with confidence. Whether you are a general contractor, equipment rental company, or specialized drilling contractor, the F5+ delivers the reliability and performance needed to stay ahead in today’s competitive construction industry.

Falcon+ stands for wide adaptability
The Falcon F5+ can automatically scan over 1,000 frequencies and select the optimal frequency within each band according to your construction site. As interference changes, it can switch between the two selected optimal frequency bands during drilling.
25 frequencies operate simultaneously, allowing you to complete the project on the first drilling run. In contrast, competing products can only use one frequency at a time during drilling.
