The instrument automatically remembers the settings from
your last survey.
In this
mode, the instrument will automatically start to perform a
survey after it stops and does not move for approximately 25
seconds. To ensure the survey does not occur before the
instrument starts moving into the hole enter the time
required (delay before instrument active time) to get the
instrument moving into the hole using the ‘+’ and ‘-’
buttons
Note:
HH is hours, MM is minutes, SS is
seconds |

Press “Start Survey”
Note:
if there is a survey already waiting to be downloaded then a
message will appear. Before taking a new survey, please
download the survey stored in the instrument to ensure your
important survey data is not lost.

A system
test is automatically performed before each survey and it
checks the battery levels of the PDA and the instrument as
well as checking the electronic sensors to make sure
everything is working correctly before taking the survey. If
the test should fail it will be automatically repeated. If
the battery levels are low a warning screen will appear. |
|
6. |
Do a final check on the instrument to make sure the battery
compartment is sealed.
Make
sure that the instrument battery compartment has not come
loose by ensuring the lines on the outside of the instrument
(look for the X near one end) are aligned as follows:
DO NOT TRY TO OPEN THE BATTERY
COMPARTMENT
(
see:
Replacing the Batteries)

If using the wireless connection method,
insert the small e-SYNC port driver into the
side hole of the large e-SYNC port driver
(this allows for extra leverage) and then
make sure the data port plug is
FIRMLY installed in the data port (item
B in Figure 1) |

Press “Next”
The PDA
will provide you with a “countdown” to when the
instrument will become active and the following
“information” screens so you can follow the survey
process step by step.
Screen info:
Instructing e-SYNC
e-SYNC active in …
This is when you remove the cable if using cable
communication mode and make sure you INSTALL & FIRMLY
TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE PROOF DATA PORT PLUG. A message
will appear to remind you to do so.
The instrument should be inserted into the hole using the
appropriate running gear for your application.
Note: You will not be able to
communicate with the instrument while it is in the hole.
Screen info:
e-SYNC is now active
The
instrument is now active and it will automatically start the
survey after it has been kept still for 25 seconds. Please
note that even though it only takes 25 seconds to start the
survey, it must not be moved for 60 seconds to ensure
measurements are accurate. After keeping the instrument as
still as possible for 60 seconds,
press “Continue”
and retrieve the instrument from the hole.
Screen info:

Once the
instrument has been retrieved from the hole, it will be able

Now that
you have the survey measurement on screen, you should check
the stability of the survey which is shown on the right side
of the screen. A low stability rating means that the
instrument probably moved during the survey and the survey
should be repeated.
An inclination measurement of -90° indicates a vertical hole pointing down, 0° indicates a horizontal hole, and 90° indicates a vertical hole pointing up.
The buttons
at the top of this screen allow you to save additional
information for this survey (operator name, location, depth
and notes you would like kept with the survey results). Note
that new operator names and new locations (i.e. Hole1) can
be added |
|
11. |
Press “Next”
which brings you to the “Survey Summary” Screen where you can review
the data before saving it.
Note: Once you press the “Save” button
you will no longer be able to add or customize any information for
that survey. All surveys must be saved so, if necessary, add a
note saying to ignore a particular survey. |

Press “Save”
- you are now ready to take another survey |
|

Turn off
the instrument and PDA when finished surveying and charge
the batteries if required |
