After the inclinometer probe is fully pushed inside the guide casing of the calibration jig, the anchoring
screw (S) (Refer to figure 20) is fixed to the retainer cap on the inclinometer probe. This prevents the
inclinometer probe from sliding out of the guide casing during calibration.
7.1 Some do’s and Don’ts
Do’s

If large deformations are expected to take place, use dummy probe before inserting the actual
probe.

Check if directions ‘A+’, and ‘A-’ are clearly marked on casing mouth. In case the marks are
fading away, re-mark them.

Always allow enough time for the accelerometers to “settle down” before taking any reading.

When pulling probe during a set of readings, take extreme care in duplicating depths A+ and the
A- reading runs such that errors contributed by casing irregularities are minimized.
NOTE: Keep all electrical connections clean - use alcohol or a spray cleaner suitable for electronics that
will not damage the outer cable covering or panel finish.

Replace probe wheels and axles if they become wobbly or sticky.

Constantly check conditions of “O” ring on probe face to maintain a watertight seal.

Keep protective plugs in place on all electric outlets to prevent physical damage or liquids spilling
over them.
Don’ts:

Hard bumps to probe can misalign and/or break the accelerometers or break internal electrical
connections.

Bending connecting cable over sharp objects or walking on it can sever internal conductors or
puncture the outer waterproof coating.

Dragging cable through the cable brake/holder on the pulley mechanism may damage or move
the copper ferrules.

The batteries should not be overcharged. Maximum recharge time is 16 hours or two times the
period in operation since the last recharge. Do not attempt to recharge internal batteries or
operate from an external power source when the temperature of the indicator is below 5
°
C.
NOTE: The inclinometer system is like other delicate equipment and its use requires common
sense and reasonable care!
