Once the hole has been drilled, you can begin saving the measurement by pressing the Start lifting the rods button. Enter the initial angle and side inclination or azimuth values using the sliders or the + and - buttons.
  • Page 21 Operating instructions Press Start to start measurement. The first timestamp is recorded immediately when Start is pressed. After the timestamp is recorded, start lifting the rods out of the borehole and record timestamps at each rod change position. Tip: The measuring accuracy is best when the rods are lifted in as straight and stable a manner as possible.

    Operating instructions Once the final rod has been lifted, mark the final timestamp and end the measurement by pressing Ready. Tip: Mark the final timestamp while the drill bit is still a little inside the borehole. The measurement is transferred to the computer immediately when the adapter's communication window is turned to face the transceiver.
