9 Angle instruments
9.1 General
Depending on the equipment level chosen, the drill rig can be equipped with one of the fol-
lowing alternatives:
n Angle instrument with aim device (standard equipment).
n Laser plane instrument (option).
n GPS compass (option).
In all of these cases the system consists of a number of sensors. The sensors are connec-
ted to the I/O unit and the LCD display through CAN BUS communication. The system is
presented on and operated from the LCD display.
These instructions cover the complete instrument with all available options. If the drill rig
has fewer pieces of equipment, only the relevant sections need to be studied.
9.1.1 Angle instrument with sight
This drill rig is equipped with an electronic angle indication system consisting of an angle
sensor on the boom and feeder, aim device and graphic presentation on an LCD display.
The aim device makes it possible to drill parallel holes by selecting a reference point before
the first hole is drilled. This reference point is then maintained throughout the entire round
or as long as the bearing is the same. By turning the aim device back to the same refer-
ence point the entire time regardless of how the drill rig travels, the instrument calculates
how the feed inclination must be changed to maintain the same bearing. The angle sensor
on the boom mounting allows the instrument to compensate for the turning of the boom the
same way as when the aim device is turned.
Menus
The angle instrument is accessed by pressing button F2 in the left-hand edge of the dis-
play. These three buttons always provide direct access to the respective functions, i.e. you
do not need to use the ESC key to go back to the main menu to select them.
Main menu
Four numbers are shown on the angle instrument display which show the required and ac-
tual inclination laterally and longitudinally respectively, as well as a graphic image of the
deviation from required inclination.
