Measuring a borehole in continuous mode

  1. Press the measurement module image to select a logger installed in the drill. Select Drill a new hole to start drilling and measurement.
  2. Enter the clamp altitude and hole length using the sliders or the + and - buttons. Once the hole has been drilled, you can begin saving the measurement by pressing the Start lifting the rods button.
  3. Enter the initial angle and side inclination or azimuth values using the sliders or the + and - buttons.
  4. Press Start to start measurement. The first timestamp is recorded immediately when Start is pressed. After the timestamp is recorded, start lifting the rods out of the borehole and record timestamps at each rod change position.
    Tip: The measuring accuracy is best when the rods are lifted in as straight and stable a manner as possible. It is particularly important to avoid percussion and fast rotation speeds (> 60 rpm).
  5. Mark the rod changes by pressing the Detach a rod button when the rod is locked between the clamps.
    Note: Do not move the rods during the timestamp recording. Hold the rod in place until the timer and text on the display disappear.
    Once the rod change has been marked, the program returns to the measurement view.
  6. Uncouple the rod and continue lifting the rest of the rods.
    Note: The left side of the display shows the lifting progress and how many rods remain to be lifted.
  7. Once the final rod has been lifted, mark the final timestamp and end the measurement by pressing Ready.
    Tip: Mark the final timestamp while the drill bit is still a little inside the borehole.
    The measurement is transferred to the computer immediately when the adapter's communication window is turned to face the transceiver.
Once the measurement has been received, it can be saved for the desired field. If the measurement has been initiated by selecting a hole in the field, the measurement is automatically saved for the selected hole. If a site or position is not indicated for the hole, it is saved without location data.
