PROFIL Digital Inclinometer Probe

Inclinometers are used to monitor subsurface deformations of the ground in landslides, embankments and dams, and around deep excavations and tunnels.

Inclinometer casing is installed in a vertical borehole that passes through suspected zones of movement into stable ground.

The inclinometer is used to survey the casing. The first survey establishes the initial profile of the casing. Changes in the profile, revealed by comparing subsequent surveys to the initial, indicate that ground movement has occurred.

Plots of inclinometer data show the magnitude, direction, and rate of ground movement.

The system includes a digital probe, lightweight control cable, Blue-tooth reel, cable gate, Digitilt Reader app, and Profil Manager software.

Roctest Profil’s major advantages are its sensor technology and mo-bile computing which bring simplicity to survey operations.

To start a survey, tap an inclinometer from the list displayed by the Rea-der. Alternatively, simply scan the QR code that is fixed to the casing.

At each survey depth, the Reader prompts when a stable reading is ready to record. To record, simply pull the cable upwards to the next depth. The Reader senses motion and stores the stable reading in non-volatile memory. There is no need to hold the Reader or tap a button. Your hands stay free to work with cable and probe.

If the survey is interrupted for any reason, simply tap to resume at the same depth, with no loss of data.

When the survey is complete, plot checksums, profiles, and changes to validate the readings before you leave the site.

Afterwards, send surveys to the office via the Internet, using email with automatic file attachments or Dropbox for full synchronization. If the Internet is not available, use a USB cable for data transfers.

• Its short length and top quality wheels allow the Roctest Profil probe to track casing grooves through tight curves.
• Easy to carry and easy to handle, lightweight control cable features nu-meric depth labels at every other gra-duation.
• Compatible with all three sizes of ca-sing, the compact cable gate aligns cable graduations precisely at the top of the casing, eliminating the potential for depth errors if the cable gate is forgotten.
• Android supports high-resolution screens, touch-screen interfaces, and full Internet connectivity.
• The Reader app is central to the sys-tem’s simplicity and power. QR codes, hands-free recording, bookmarks, useful field plots, and wireless data transfers are complemented by many other convenient features.
• This PC software stores data from the Profil system in a database, and gene-rates graphs. It can also print QR codes for the system.
