QUESTION

What’s this manual about?

This manual tells you about the Digital Inclinometer Pro and

how to use it to take readings of lateral deections.

Who does this apply to?

Installers, eld engineers and technicians using the Digital

Inclinometer Pro.

Welcome!

Thank you for choosing the Digital Inclinometer Pro.

This manual has been written to help you utilise all of

the functions of the Digital Inclinometer Pro.

Please read this manual thoroughly before use to help

avoid any problems and keep it handy when using the Digital

Inclinometer Pro.

Digital Inclinometer Pro.

The Digital Inclinometer Pro comprises a biaxial probe, cable

reel and a rugged Tablet supplied with ‘In-Port Pro’ application.

The inclinometer probe measures lateral deections using

MEMS sensors, enabling the system to take highly accurate

and repeatable readings whilst transferring the measurements

via a digital signal for interference-free data transmission.

The system incorporates Bluetooth technology for

communicating from the inclinometer reel to the Tablet,

oering a complete cable free data transmitting system with

no connectors to corrode or break.

The graduated cable is constructed with Kevlar, making it very

strong and durable whilst remaining lightweight and consists

of a metal cable marker system which, when used in

conjunction with the cable gate, provides highly accurate and

repeatable depth control.

With all these combined design features, the Digital

Inclinometer Pro is a robust, eective and highly accurate

system that is light, compact and easy to operate in any

site environment.

ABOUT

INCLINOMETERS

An inclinometer system includes inclinometer casing, a traversing

probe, control cable, and tablet.

Inclinometer casing is permanently installed in a near-vertical borehole

that passes through a zone of suspected movement. The probe, cable,

and tablet are used to survey the casing.

The rst survey establishes the baseline prole of the installed casing.

Subsequent surveys will reveal changes in the prole if ground

movement has occurred. Plotting these changes reveals the rate, depth,

and magnitude of ground movement.

COMPONENTS

Cable, a Bluetooth reel, a cable gate, and an In-Port Pro app that runs on

Things You Need to Know About the Digital Inclinometer Pro

System Description

THE DIGITAL

INCLINOMETER

PRO

The Digital Inclinmeter Pro is supplied in metric and English versions.

The metric version has a gauge length of 0.5m. The English version has a

gauge length of 2 feet. A + mark is engraved on the body of the probe.

This is used to orient the probe during a survey.

MEASURMENT

AXIS

There are two MEMS tilt sensors inside the probe. The A-axis sensor

measures tilt in the plane of the wheels. The B-axis sensor measures tilt

in the plane perpendicular to the wheels.

When the top of the probe is tilted in the + direction, tilt values are

positive, and when the probe is tilted in the - direction, tilt values are

negative.

PROBE CABLE The cable is used to control the depth of the inclinometer probe. It also

conducts power and data between probe and reel.

• Metric probe cables have half-meter graduations with labels every

meter. The rst graduation is 0.5 meters from the top wheels of

the probe.

• English probe cables two-foot graduations with labels every

four feet. The rst graduation is 2 feet from the top wheels of the

probe.

How to negate plotting errors

The Digital Inclinometer Pro system displays readings as mm or inches

of tilt, and this reading applies at the depth of the top wheel set pivot

point.

The Soil Instruments standard inclinometer along with inclinometer

systems from some other manufacturers use cable markers that are

spaced from the middle of the probe (mid-probe datum systems), but

this has some unexpected eects when the readings are plotted.

Digital Inclinometer Pro system has been designed to negate these

plotting errors.

If you are using your Digital Inclinometer Pro system in new boreholes

then the following does not apply.

However if you use a Digital Inclinometer Pro in a Borehole that has

previously been read using a mid-probe datum inclinometer you will

see anomalies in the data plots when comparing the previous borehole

runs with the new borehole runs.

There are a number of options of how to negate these

anomalies:

Option 1

• Take a new datum set and exclude the previous data runs from

the plot.

Option 2

• Add a 250mm section of casing to the borehole which will

position the new probe in the same positions in the borehole as

the original probe.

• the 250mm value may need adjusting for dierences in cable

support gates.

IMPORTANT

INFORMATION

HANDLING THE

PROBE

The inclinometer probe is a sensitive measuring intrument. handle it

with care.

• When you insert the probe into the casing, cup the wheels with

your hands to compress the springs and allow a smooth insertion.

• When you lower the probe into the borehole, do not allow it to

strike the bottom.

• When you withdraw the probe from the casing, again cup the

wheels with your hands to prevent them from snapping out.

• When you rotate the probe, keep it upright and perform the

rotation smoothly.

• The probe is rated for temperatures from -20 to 70°C (-4 to 158°F).

Avoid using the probe in temperatures outside this range.

During the survey, successive

cable graduations are locked

into the cable gate to hold

the probe steady for readings.

The cable gate ts three

diameters of casing: 85, 70,

and 48 mm (3.34, 2.75, and

1.9 inch).

CABLE GATE The cable gate is pushed onto the top of the inclinometer casing to

serve as the reference for the depth graduations.

The Bluetooth reel provides a convenient way to carry the probe,

control cable, and cable gate. The reel transmits commands and data

between the tablet and the probe. A battery pack inside the reel powers

both the reel and the probe.

BLUETOOTH REEL

Option 3

• Use the Depth Index adjustment feature in In-Prole to reposition

the previous data sets.

• See article Using In-Prole Depth Index Correction.
