V1.0 September 2017
It is VITAL that personnel responsible for the installation and
use of the piezometers READ and UNDERSTAND the manual,
prior to working with the equipment.
**********
As stated before, it is vital to check all the equipment in the shipment soon after
taking delivery and well before installation is to be carried out. Check that all
components that are detailed on the shipping documents are included.

INSTALLATION
This section of the manual is intended for all installers of
Geosense
®
IPI
’
s and is
intended to provide guidance with respect to their installation.
It must be remembered that no two installations will be the same and it is inevitable
that some
‘
fine tuning
’
of the following procedures will be required to suit specific site
conditions.
5.1
Preparation for Installation
IPI
’
s are designed to be installed within specialist inclinometer casing. The casing
must be either installed in a borehole of fixed firmly to a structure. Prior to installation
of an IPI, it is essential to establish and confirm details of the installation to be carried
out. Some of the main considerations are listed below :
-
1.
Intended elevation and length of each IPI element
An IPI comprises a series of interconnected elements. The uppermost wheel
set must be located a minimum of 250mm from the top of the inclinometer
casing so as to accommodate the support and cable connection components.
This distance can be varied by adjusting the length of the wire hanger extension
(stainless steel rope).
The IPI probes are the measuring elements and the separation between the IPI
probes (referred to as the
‘
Gauge Length) is maintained by extension rods.
Standard extension rods are available to provide 1, 2 and 3 metre gauge
lengths and the gauge lengths can vary within a single installation.
For example; an IPI installed in an inclinometer casing in a landslip might use
3m gauge lengths in its upper zone (within the slip body) and 1m gauge lengths
in the slip zone.
2.
Directional Orientation
The primary measuring axis of the IPI is A+ / A
-
which is the same orientation as
the wheels. The A+ direction corresponds to the direction of the
FIXED WHEEL
and, consequently, A
-
is in the direction of the
SPRUNG WHEEL
.
