5. TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

Problems with the instrumented rockbolt are usually associated with dirty electrodes.  

  

Symptom: Instrumented Rockbolt

 

Readings are Unstable: 

 

  Is the readout box position set correctly? (Use Channel B.) 

  Does the readout work with another instrumented rockbolt? If not, the readout may have a 

low battery or be malfunctioning. 

 

Symptom: Instrumented Rockbolt

 

Fails to Read: 

 

  Is the electrode covered with dirt? Clean the electrode with a swab attached to the readout 

probe. Use electro contact cleaner or similar product. 

  Does the readout or datalogger work with another Instrumented rockbolt? If not, the readout 

or datalogger may be malfunctioning.
