Electronic Inclination and Azimuth Systems
Item Code: 8486
Records even the slightest changes in the drill angle – as small as fractions of a degree – so the drill path can be quickly and efficiently corrected back to vertical. Makes maintaining a controlled, absolutely vertical drill path easier than ever.
Benefits
- Helps ensure accurate, reliable drill paths
- Tracks clock battery run-time to minimize survey run errors.
- Sensors are fully temperature-compensated. Temperature changes across the full operating temperature range cause drill angle orientation readings to change by less than 1%.
- Guards against loss of crucial drill path data
- Monitors base voltage level to ensure continuous, trouble-free operation.
- Archives all surveys in memory so they can be viewed and re-printed at any time.
- Includes a diagnostic LED that indicates whether the tool is operating properly.
- Recovers survey data even after power loss or loss of communications with the tool .
- Provides administrative options that enable system managers to set users/passwords and to protect access to certain functions.
- Includes security features that protect survey data.
- Provides easy, versatile access to drill path data
- Ethernet port
- Enables remote control and monitoring via LAN or a Web browser.
- Makes it possible to download data via FTP.
- Integrates easily with existing mechanical drift indicator equipment
- Fits in existing 1-inch running gear – and can be run in tandem with mechanical clocks.
Features
- Color touchscreen display
- Easy-to-use interface
- Rugged weather-proof case and connectors
- Thermal printer – no ink to replace
- Base unit run-time approximately 8.5 to 9.5 hours with full charge
- Clock run-time approximately 200 hours with new battery

- Inclination range: 0 to 180 degrees
- Orientation range: 360 degrees full scale, all axes
- Orientation/inclination resolution: 0.02 degrees
- Repeatability:
- Inclination: 0.10 degrees
- Heading: 0.5 degrees
- Accuracy:
- Inclination: 0.2 degrees
- Heading: 0.5 degrees typical for static test conditions; plus/minus 2 degrees typical for dynamic (cyclic) test conditions and for arbitrary orientation angles
- Variety of Go-Devil assemblies available for various methods of running the tool, including free-dropping, sand-lines, and core barrel adapters
