Installing the 3TB in a borehole
4.3 Assembling the winch
If required, Güralp Systems can provide a winch suitable for installing a borehole
sensor. The winch and tripod are supplied as a set of parts which you can assemble
on site. The precise model supplied may vary so please use this section as a guide
only and, if in doubt, contact Güralp System technical support (via an email to
[email protected]) for advice.
There are two sections for each leg of the tripod. The upper sections are pre-
attached to the head of the tripod; the lower sections are supplied detached.
1. Slide the lower sections all the way into the head with the retaining tape
loops facing outwards.
2. If you are working on a surface of sand or soil, rotate the feet so that the
points face downwards (left). For rock or other hard surfaces, ensure the pads
face downwards (right).
