6 TAKING INCLINOMETER READINGS
NOTE:
At least two people will be required to take horizontal inclinometer reading as one has to
pull the probe using pulling cable from the farther end whereas another will monitor the
readings on datalogger.
5.1
Take out the inclinometer probe from the carrying case carefully outwards taking care that the
probe is not subjected to any shock.
5.2
Check the installed access tubing by dummy probe before inserting inclinometer probe; the
dummy sensor (probe) is also laid out in the foreground Figure 14.
5.3
At pulling end remove the pull cable loop from the protective cap. Unscrew the removable pin of
the protective cap and take out the loop of the pull cable from the end of the pin. Screw back the
pin to the cap (Refer figure 9 and 10).
5.4
Now fix the pull cable loop to the pull cable reel for reeling before taking readings.
5.5
At the monitoring end remove the protective cap from the access tube. Disengage the threaded
adaptor from the casing end cap. (Refer to figure 11)
5.6
Figure 15 shows the horizontal inclinometer system components laid out prior to taking readings.
The one end of the pull cable is shown ready to be fixed to one end of the inclinometer probe.
