27. way to obtain the face error is to run a normal inclinometer survey with the two sets of readings at 180 and then to run a profile or deflection report see section C 2 and C 3 the column labeled Diff Examination of the data will reveal the average checksum which is equal to twice the face error A 3 3 Setting of the Face Error to zero There are three ways of setting the face error to zero None of them are necessary from the point of view of improving accuracy A 3 3 1 Mechanically At the time of manufacture the electrical axis of the transducer is adjusted by means of shims etc until it points parallel to the axis of the inclinometer probe This method suffers from the disadvantage that if the face error changes due to wear and tear on the probe and rough handling or shock loading of the transducer then the probe needs to be returned to the factory for dismantling and re adjustment A 3 3 2 Electrically Electronic circuitry can be included in the probe so that the output of the transducer can be adjusted to zero when the probe is vertical The disadvantage of this method is that it introduces electronic components into the inside of the probe which may alter with time temperature and humidity and which if the face error changes due to wear and tear or rough handling will require the probe to be dismantled and the electronic circuitry readjusted Also this form of correction only masks

A reference direction In all these situations it is normal to either install a casing in a borehole drilled in the ground to cast it inside a concrete structure to bury it beneath an embankment or the like The inclinometer casing has four orthogonal grooves Figure 78 designed to fit B B the wheels of a portable inclinometer probe Figure 79 This probe suspended on the end of a cable connected to a readout device is used to survey the inclination of the casing with respect to vertical or horizontal and in this way to detect any changes in inclination A caused by ground movements Figure 78 Inclinometer Casing end view The probe itself contains two MEMS Micro Electro Mechanical Sensor accelerometers which flex when acted on by the force of gravity Since the output voltage is proportional to the sine of the angle of inclination the output is also proportional to horizontal deviation of the borehole or the vertical deviation of a horizontal borehole In order to obtain a complete survey of the ground around the installed inclinometer casing it is necessary to take a series of tilt measurements along the casing Typically an inclinometer probe has 2 sets of wheels separated by a distance of 2 feet English system or 5 meter Metric system A casing survey would begin by lowering the probe to the bottom of the casing and taking a reading The probe would then be raised at 2 foot English system or 5 meter Metric

93. rror or checksum was to change between the two halves of a survey This is why it is extremely important to not bang the probe on the bottom of the borehole between survey halves and to not handle the probe roughly while out of the hole The term face error comes from surveying terminology It is normal for all theodolites to have a face error which is caused by imperfections of alignment of the collimation axis and other misalignments These face errors are removed routinely by taking two readings of the theodolite one angle is measured with the face of the vertical scale on the left of the theodolite and another with the face of the vertical scale on the right of the theodolite The average of the two readings face right and face left gives the true angle since the face error cancels out Similarly with the inclinometer probe the face error arises from the fact that the axis of the inclinometer probe is not parallel with the electrical axis of the internal force balance servo accelerometer transducer Once again the face error is eliminated by taking two surveys of inclinometer readings one with the wheels of the inclinometer probe pointing in one direction and another with the wheels of the probe at 180 to the first direction If the first set of readings are all too large by the amount of the face error then the second set of readings will be too small by the amount of the face error
