NTRODUCTION

 

The following guide provides a high-level overview for setting up a MEMS Digital In-
Place Inclinometer System (IPI) system. Please consult the MEMS Digital In-Place 
Inclinometer System Installation Manual (ICM0062) and the DT Logger Host 
Instruction Manual (ELM0080) for detailed instructions not covered in this guide.

To ensure that all components are working together correctly and able to 
communicate, RST recommends that initial set up and configuration take place in the 
office or warehouse, prior to final installation in the field.
