5. It has been shown that for most practical purposes check sums of less than 2000 digits are of no consequence and can be completely ignored providing the inclinometer survey is conducted in the normal way i e 2 sets of readings at 180 It has further been shown that the best method by far for setting the face error to zero is by means of the software capabilities in the inclinometer reader This is the method chosen by Geokon 64 APPENDIX B Data File Format B 1 Hole Data File Format kkK GK 604M v1 0 1 0 01 13 2 0 FORMAT II PROJECT myHoles HOLE NO newHole DATE 01 02 13 TIME E R E PROBE NO testProbe FILE NAME newHole 001 gkn READINGS 61 FLEVEL A A B B 90640 1013 1052 280 320 69 604 429 274 TOS 900 94325 aq O62 T95 442 219 29397 SES 950 H5 oo 2405 946 T 346 290 Boe 97 945 9MIS y 33l 216 E EN EE 218 Zl LOLA 1050 se 208 llU 1034 LU059 N 20695 20409 10460 LUJS 349 288 2060 037 ele 376 326 fosar 022 LUTO AL 958 2500 i079 LLIO 20 366 shea LOSS L057 440 378 24 0 1027 1066 449 OUS 25 09 L024 L0GlL H T 413 2390 1020 21054 474 422 Zoe 12029 SUb 115 448 22 40 LODO L 495 437 Zlog LOCO LIL6 3033 459 Zl LOA Sloe 14 462 20 5 1043 L075 918 454 ele En 1082 LUIJIS 2927 469 19 3 19062 L098 542 480 l9 40 1074 H 6 591 487 lso 1089 SILl
6. Skipping over or duplicating a reading Not allowing the inclinometer sufficient time to come to rest before taking a reading Not allowing sufficient time to allow the probe to reach temperature equilibrium before commencing the survey Malfunction of the probe cable or readout device This may be the result of Shock moisture low battery conditions opens or shorts in the cable or probe etc Carelessness in positioning the wheels so that the probe wheels do not rest on the same part of the casing from one survey to the next Positioning the wheels so that they fall right on top of a casing joint so that the reading is unstable or simply erroneous The Check Sum analysis is performed by adding the A A readings and the B B readings When this is done the part of the reading due to the tilt is eliminated leaving only a value which is equivalent to twice the zero offset of the inclinometer transducer A 2 Conducting the survey The following is a synopsis of the steps involved in taking a survey see section 3 3 1 for more details 1 Attach the cable to the probe making sure that the connector is clean and the O ring undamaged Tighten the connector to ensure that the O ring is compressed and watertight 2 Twist the probe so that the uppermost wheel fits into the casing groove that faces the direction of the anticipated movement In the case of a slope this would be downhill or in the case of a founda

11. 0 is 1 0000 the cosine of 5 is 0 996 so that the effect of this face error on the calibration of the probe is to increase it by a factor of 1 0 996 1 004 The practical implication of this would mean that if the apparent deflection of a borehole was 100 mm the true deflection would be 100 4 mm For practically all applications in the real world the difference is insignificant and is a lot less than the differences which normally occur from survey to survey i e a lot less than the precision of the inclinometer probe survey Lack of precision is caused by a failure to position the wheels of the probe in exactly the same place from survey to survey failure to wait sufficiently long to allow the probe transducer to come to rest before reading and random dirt in the inclinometer casing Note that the normal system accuracy of an inclinometer probe is 7 mm in 30 meters By comparison it can be seen that the normal system accuracy or precision is very much larger than the calibration error caused by the face error and that for all practical purposes the face error is of no consequence and can be completely discounted if it is less than 2000 digits As another example supposing the check sum was as large as 5000 digits This is equivalent to a gross angular error of misalignment of almost 15 degrees The effect on the calibration would be a little over 3 96 so that the apparent deflection of 100 mm would be out by 3 mm which again
