Installing the 3TB in a borehole
2. If applicable, you
should test the hole
lock mechanism before
installing the sensor.
For safety reasons, the
hole lock is normally
supplied with the arm
extended.
To test the mechanism,
connect the signal
cable to a breakout box
and Hole-lock Control
Unit and attempt to
retract the hole lock
arm (see Section 3.4 on
page 17). If this fails,
you should contact
Güralp Systems.
Extend the arm once
more.
3. If your system does not have a separate surge-suppressor sonde, fix the main
lifting cable to the shackle on top of the strain relief mechanism and run the
signal cable through the mechanism using the built-in clamps (without
tightening them). Otherwise, fix the main lifting cable to the shackle on top
of the surge-suppressor sonde.
Caution:
Do not allow the signal cable or the surge
suppressor cable to bear any of the sensor's weight.
