e-SYNC

The e-SYNC is an electronic surveying instrument that provides inclination and tool-facing readings accurate to ± 0.5 degree.

The e-SYNC has 4 operating modes: single shot automatic, single shot timed, multishot timed and real-time.

e-SYNC - on/off switch, cable/re-charging port, instrument window e-SYNC - wireliess antenna window

A - On/Off switch B - Cable/Recharge Port C - Instrument Window D - Wireless Antenna

The e-SYNC receives its operating commands and reports the survey results to a handheld computer.

The handheld computer has a touch sensitive screen with large, user friendly buttons and text to guide you through the commands required to start and download a survey.

Communication between the e-SYNC and handheld computer is through wireless “Bluetooth” technology.

Wireless communication can only occur over an obstacle free distance of a few metres, which means that the e-SYNC and handheld computer do not communicate when the instrument is in the hole.

A special connection cable is also provided as a backup means of communication and for use when re-charging the internal batteries. (see operating manual for more details)

When taking a survey, the e-SYNC automatically records the date and time of each survey. After downloading, this information is then stored in the handheld computer for future reference.

Once the survey results are in the handheld computer an export file can be created to view the survey log on other computers.

After downloading your survey results to the handheld computer, you can add additional information to each survey record such as location, depth of hole, operator and any notes you would like to be kept with that particular survey.
