Survey Instructions
Check Probe
1
Check that probe wheels turn smoothly. If necessary, clean
wheels and apply spray lubricant or small amount of oil to each
bearing.
2
Check that wheel yokes move freely. Push yoke into probe body,
then release slowly. Yoke should return to fully-extended
position.
3
Check for excess play in wheels and yokes.
4
Check that no screws are loose.
5
Check connectors and O-rings for wear and corrosion.
6
Connect probe to readout. Switch on. Readings should be greater
than zero (positive) when probe is tilted in A0 and B0 directions.
7
Place probe in its protective box for transport.
Set Up on Site
1
Spread plastic sheet or tarp near casing installation. Tarp keeps
equipment clean. During survey, keep control cable on tarp rather
than on bare ground. A box or basket may be useful to hold con-
trol cable.
2
Remove cap from casing. Attach pulley assembly.
Connect Control Cable
1
Remove protective caps from probe and control cable.
2
Hold probe just below upper wheel yoke as shown in illustration.
Do not hold probe by wheels.
3
Align connector key with keyway in probe, then press together.
Do not “hunt” for keyway by rotating connector.
4
Tighten nut to secure connection. Do not over-tighten, since
O-ring will be deformed and its effectiveness reduced.
