Connect the Bottom Wheel Assembly
Note:
Remember to use Loctite 222 on all threaded connections.
Attaching a safety cable to the bottom wheel assembly is strongly
recommended. Not only can it be used to retrieve the assembly if one of the
joints breaks loose, but it is also very helpful when lowering the assembly into
the casing.
Safety cables purchased from
GEOKON
will have an eye bolt on one end. Slide
the eye bolt onto the 10-32 cap screw used to attach the bottom segment to the
bottom wheel assembly. Tighten another nut onto the cap screw; this will trap
the safety cable between the two nuts. The completed bottom wheel assembly
is shown in the figure below.

2.2.3 SENSOR ORIENTATION
All wheel assemblies should be oriented in the same direction when installed in
the casing. The wheel assemblies are attached at the factory so that the fixed
wheel is facing the A+ direction of the sensor (as shown in the figure to the left).
It is customary and recommended to point the A+ (fixed wheel) direction in the
same direction as the anticipated movement, i.e., towards the excavation being
monitored or downslope for slope stability applications.
A second MEMS device is included in the sensor and is attached with its
positive direction 90° clockwise from the first device. This is the B+ direction of
the sensor.
