FAQ#025 – How get good readings with inclinometer probe?
A good practice for getting good readings with inclinometer probe is to follow these simple operations: – Use the same probe for each survey, if possible; – if you must use a different probe, be sure to note the serial number of the probe used for each survey, so any necessary corrections can be made […]
FAQ#024 – How can we keep efficiently the inclinometer operating cable?
A good practice for the inclinometer users is to follow these simple recommendations: – when you connect the inclinometer operating cable to the probe, avoid overtightening the nut, since this will flatten the O-ring and reduce its effectiveness; – use a pulley assembly. It protects the inclinometer operating cable and provides a good reference index; […]
FAQ#023 – For obtaining best results with inclinometer, must the borehole be very close to the vertical?
Borehole should be drilled as close to the vertical as possible, however 2/3 degrees from vertical are normally accepted in specifications.
FAQ#009 – Can the TEL-310S functioning be influenced from atmospheric conditions?
Any factor (water, mud etc.) that could dirty the internal part of the “SUS” optical sensor unit’s cover can influence the TEL-310S correct functioning. So it is essential to protect properly the “SUS” optical sensor unit from weather conditions, leaving anyway the access possibility for cleaning/maintenance. In any case, TEL-310S has an auto-diagnostics able to […]
FAQ#008 – What is the 0TEL310CAL0 calibration/mounting kit and what is it for?
The 0TEL310CAL0 kit includes a drilling template for the wall where the “ANS” support will be placed, and a template to be placed on the “SUS” optical sensor unit for a possible functional check on field (pendulum’s wire simulation).
FAQ#007 – Are the TEL-310S CUS control unit and the PWS power unit supplied with the fixing kit?
No kit is needed. The “CUS” and “PWS” units are placed in aluminum boxes ready to be fixed on the wall through four M6 screws (not included).
FAQ#006 – Is it possible to use the ANS adjustable support for the pendulum optical manual readout (coordinometer)?
The pendulum readout fixing plate has four holes so it can be fixed, through screws, to the “ANS” adjustable support.
FAQ#005 – Is it possible to fix the ANS adjustable support to the floor?
Since the “ANS” support is articulated, it can be fixed to the floor; this can be useful in case the pendulum’s wire is too far from the walls.
FAQ#004 – Is it possible to place the SUS optical sensor unit with the X axis perpendicular to the wall where the ANS support is fixed?
The TEL-310S telecoordinometer has the following measuring range: To use the “ANS” adjustable support you must have the “X” axis parallel to the wall: so it is not possible to fix the “SUS” optical sensor unit perpendicular to the wall using the “ANS” adjustable support.
FAQ#003 – Which are the needed conditions to use the ANS adjustable support for TEL-310S if you need to monitor the direct pendulum’s wire?
To fix the “SUS” optical sensor unit through the “ANS” support, it is necessary that the direct pendulum’s wire is at a distance of d=230 mm. from the wall. To achieve that, the direct pendulum’s tank has to be placed at a distance of D=20 mm. from the wall: in this way is guaranteed that […]
FAQ#002 – What is the 0TEL310ANS0 adjustable support for TEL-310S and what is it for?
The “ANS” adjustable support (0TEL310ANS0) has been developed to support and fix the “SUS” optical sensor unit (0TEL310SUS0) of the new TEL-310S telecoordinometer. The support is fixed to the wall through two M16 threaded bars, of 370 mm. length (supplied). Once the “SUS” optical sensor unit is fixed to the support, it is possible to […]
FAQ#001 – If the SUS optical sensor unit is removed for maintenance, is it possible to continue the monitoring using the pendulum optical manual readout?
It is possible to use the pendulum optical manual readout instead of TEL-310S “SUS” optical sensor unit without any regulation of the “ANS” support. It is also possible to start the pendulum’s monitoring with the pendulum optical manual readout and then automate the readings with TEL-310S telecoordinometer , without changing its initial zero.
