The inner workings of the inclinometer are susceptible to heavy vibration and jolting. Whilst a lot of effort and testing has
gone into minimising these effects for regular use, drilling into rocky or tough ground will produce ‘shocks’ to the drive
(also felt through the operator) which will temporarily show an incorrect reading of the angle data on the LED array (similar
to ‘knocking’ a spirit level with a hammer whilst taking a reading). If the operator wishes to take an accurate reading to
gauge the orientation of the drive, simply stop the rotation of the auger or pile for a brief moment and the system will
display a stable reading. If the LED display exhibits erratic behaviour as a result of an impact or vibration, either disconnect
the power during this type of use, or disconnect and reconnect the power supply to reset the system.
Clearing debris from the LED groove
Where mud or debris becomes heavily caked into the LED ring groove, do not use force or sharp objects to remove the
debris. If pressure washing and normal cleaning methods do not prevail, carefully use a blunt implement encourage any
caked on mud to dislodge. Do not under any circumstances use a hammer or any other device to chisel at the LED ring.
FAQ
What do the various colour arrays signify?
Solid green: within 1.5° from plumb
Partially green, partially red: more than 1.5° from plumb, move your controls to chase the green portion to return to plumb.
How long does the battery last for?
Through normal use, approx. 8-9 hours. Spare batteries and charges are available for purchase. Leaving the Halo turned
on whilst display ‘all green’ will use the battery at a slightly faster rate. Once the power has been depleted, the LEDs will
turn off and the battery will need to be recharged.
Travelling with the battery:
Customers may treat the Halo battery in the same way you would a cordless drill battery. The battery meets IEC
62133:2012 (Second edition) specications for safety as a portable sealed battery. This battery standard enables the
batteries to y however each airline has their own specic rules so it is wise to check prior to planning travel.
