Cable inclinometer with reels
ALL four MOST GO cable, reels, only! not the complete set
The Digital horizontal inclinometer system consists of inclinometer casing, a horizontal probe, control cable, pull cable, and a readout unit. The inclinometer casing is installed in a horizontal trench or borehole with one set of grooves oriented vertically. The probe, control cable, pull-cable, and readout unit are used to survey the casing.
A survey is conducted by drawing the probe from one end of the casing to the other, halted in its travel at half-meter intervals for inclination measurements (two foot intervals are used for English-unit probes). The first survey establishes the initial profile of the casing. Subsequent surveys reveal changes in the profile if ground movement has occurred.
The horizontal inclinometer probe employs a force-balanced servo-accelerometer that measures inclination from horizontal in the plane of the probe wheels. A change in inclination indicates that movement has occurred. The amount of movement is calculated by finding the difference between the current inclination reading and the initial reading and converting the result to a vertical distance.
