C20 Horizontal Digital Inclinometer System
C20 Horizontal Digital Inclinometer System
The Horizontal Digital Inclinometer System is used to measure profiles of settlement and/or heave within a horizontal borehole. The system comprises a uniaxial probe, cable reel, and a rugged field table supplied with ‘In-Port’ data capture software.
The probe incorporates MEMS technology, allowing highly accurate and repeatable readings, transferred via a digital signal. Bluetooth communication enables cable-free data transmitting.
The Kevlar cable consists of a cable marker system that, when used in conjunction with the cable gate, provides highly accurate and repeatable depth control.
With all these combined features, the Horizontal Digital Inclinometer System is a robust and highly accurate system that’s light, compact, and easy to operate in any site environment.

Operation
The inclinometer probe is inserted into the inclinometer casing, ensuring the probe wheels are correctly aligned and slotted within the keyways of the casing. The probe is connected by a graduated cable to the cable reel.
Displacement readings are taken at regular intervals of 0.5m within the casing (the gauge length between the probe wheels). This is measured and controlled by metal markers crimped around the cable that pass through a notch in the cable gate, giving an exact position for each reading.
When you take all subsequent readings at identical depths the comparison of successive casing profiles indicates the depth, direction, magnitude and the rate of change of movement.
You can see the clearest indication of movement by plotting the change in displacement of the casing against depth using ‘In-Site’ Inclinometer Data Management Package.
