The reliability and accuracy of mechanical drift indicators,
the speed and user-friendliness of electronic technology

Records even the slightest changes in the drill angle – as small as fractions of a degree – so the drill path can be quickly and efficiently corrected back to vertical.

Makes maintaining a controlled, absolutely vertical drill path easier than ever.

Benefits

Helps ensure accurate, reliable drill paths

• Tracks clock battery run-time to minimize survey run errors.

• Sensors are fully temperature-compensated. Temperature changes across the full operating temperature range cause drill angle orientation readings to change by less than 1%.

Guards against loss of crucial drill path data

• Monitors base voltage level to ensure continuous, trouble-free operation.

• Archives all surveys in memory so they can be viewed and re-printed at any time.

• Includes a diagnostic LED that indicates whether the tool is operating properly.

• Recovers survey data even after power loss or loss of communications with the tool .

• Provides administrative options that enable system managers to set users/passwords and to protect access to certain functions.

• Includes security features that protect survey data.

Provides easy, versatile access to drill path data

Ethernet port

• Enables remote control and monitoring via LAN or a Web browser.

• Makes it possible to download data via FTP.

Integrates easily with existing mechanical drift indicator equipment

• Fits in existing 1-inch running gear – and can be run in tandem with mechanical clocks.

Features

• Color touchscreen display

• Easy-to-use interface

• Rugged weather-proof case and connectors

• Thermal printer - no ink to replace

• Repeatability:

  • Inclination: 0.10 degrees
  • Heading: 0.5 degrees

• Accuracy:

  • Inclination: 0.2 degrees
  • Heading: 0.5 degrees typical for static test conditions; plus/minus 2 degrees typical for dynamic (cyclic) test conditions and for arbitrary orientation angles

• Variety of Go-Devil assemblies available for various methods of running the tool, including free-dropping, sand-lines, and core barrel adapters
