Page 7: Safety
Safety Safety The purpose of the safety information is to reduce the number of accidents and prevent personal injury and property damage. Please read the safety instructions carefully and ensure that you are using the system in a safe manner. Do not use the system in ways other than those described in this manual. An incorrect method of use may be hazardous and cause an accident, fire or electrocution.
Page 8: System Description
For the purpose of calculating the size of demolition charges, it is important to know the exact position, direction and deviation of the drilled holes. The Robit M Sense system measures the deviation of the hole using a gyroscope and accelerometer inside the measurement probe. The measurement is performed by lowering the measurement probe into the drilled hole and the measurement data is transmitted to a computer when the module is lifted.
Page 9: Operating Principle
Protective case for system components. Operating principle The Robit Sense measurement software is a versatile tool for measuring boreholes. The measurement data can be saved in a database, where it can be viewed after drilling or at a later time.
Page 10: User Interface
Link the transferred information to the drilled hole. User interface The user interface of the Robit Sense M system is designed to be used with a touch screen or mouse. The Robit Sense measurement software can be used to design drilling fields, measure drilled holes, and inspect and analyse measurements with a range of powerful graphical view and tools.
Page 11: Licensing
System description Licensing During startup, the software automatically checks that the current license is valid. The license validity period is displayed at the bottom of the home screen. If a license cannot be acquired automatically, the software prompts you to check the availability of licenses.

Page 15: Operating Instructions
Starting up the software Procedure Start up the Robit Sense software by tapping the software icon on the tablet computer. Once the software has been activated, enter the measuring cable marking interval in metres or feet (imperial cable).
Page 16 Operating instructions The calibration wizard starts. Familiarize yourself with the movement shown by the animation. Click Start when you are ready to perform the movement for about 30 seconds. Carry through the movement until the animation stops. If the calibration wizard detects insufficient movement, the calibration is rejected. 61 - 003 -...
Page 17: Measurement Settings
Operating instructions When calibration is successfully completed, you'll see "Calibrated" message. You can now close the calibration wizard. Measurement settings You can define the measurement settings in the Settings > Measurement settings view. Measuring direction A borehole can be measured either starting from the bottom or from the top. Measurement point interval Measuring cable marking interval in metres or feet (imperial cable).

Operating instructions Measuring mode The measuring mode can be defined under the Compass section: • Gyro only for magnetic conditions. The Operator sets the collar heading for each hole. The Gyro only mode is sensitive to correct working methods. Note: Azimuth information on vertical and horizontal holes is limited. •...
Page 19 Operating instructions Press Begin lifting to start. Enter the borehole length using the slider or the + and - buttons. If the current borehole inclination is known, select Yes and enter the initial angle using the slider or the + and - buttons. Press Record to take the first measurement.
Page 20 Operating instructions Once the measurement has been marked, the program returns to the measurement view. Note: If the bottom of the hole is not at full meters/feet, the second timestamp is always taken at full meters/feet regardless of the measurement interval. After the second timestamp, the chosen measurement interval applies.
Page 21 Operating instructions Once the final measurement marking on the measurement cable has been reached, end the measurement by pressing the Finalize measurement button. Note: The final measurement is recorded at the depth defined as nearest surface point in measurement settings. Once the measurement has been done, the results can be saved for the desired field.
