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. |
|

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

If using the wireless connection method,
insert the small e-SYNC port driver into the
side hole of the large e-SYNC port driver

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
is now active and should be inserted into the hole using the
appropriate running gear for your application. Note that you won’t
be able to communicate with the instrument while it is in the hole.
Screen info:
Stop Instrument Now
The PDA will
give warning beeps) if the instrument moves after the timer gets to
0 seconds then your survey results will not be correct and you will
get a low stability measurement.

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. |
