1. INTRODUCTION Models 6850-7 and 6850-8 Manual Sighting and Reading Tables is a manual measurement device for detecting and measuring the horizontal displacement, inside a dam embankment, of a pendulum wire relative to the station inside the dam embankment at which the sighting device is mounted.
3. MOUNTING 3.1 General The Manual Sighting and Reading Table can be mounted in two ways: floor fixation or wall fixation. No matter in what way it is mounted, it must be ensured that directions X and Y correspond to the expected directions, Y being typically oriented directly Upstream/ Downstream.
3.3 Wall Mounting When the distance from the perpendicular to the wall ranges between 100 mm and 400 mm, the wall fixation method can be used for mounting. Wall brackets can be provided by Geokon with the Manual Sighting and Reading Table.
4) The calculation of the X and Y coordinates is done by software loaded as an app onto an Android smart phone. The software can be downloaded off the Geokon website. Selecting the App brings up the screenshot shown in Figure 4. Using the touch screen, enter the values of A1 and A2 in millimeters and then touch the ‘calculate’...
5. DATA REDUCTION FORMULAS FOR MANUAL SIGHTING and READING TABLE An alternative way to calculate the X Y coordinates is to use the following equations: Step 1: Let ‘The scale reading B1(mm)’ = B1 ,‘The scale reading A1(mm)’=A1 Step2: Let θ=0.23539256 (rad) Step3: Define k 1 , k 2 , where: −...
