Overview

This article will show how to add a Jewell Tuff Tilt connection and get it configured in the application.

This article will cover:

• Adding a Tuff Tilt Device
• Sensor Configuration
• Sensor Orientation

Adding a Tuff Tilt Device

Ensure that the THREAD is turned on and connected to the Tuff Tilt via one of its Device ports.

1. Navigate to the Connectivity Module

2. Press the  button directly on a THREAD to add a Device to it. If your THREAD does not appear here, you may still need to Add Your THREAD as a Connection.

3. You may also add a device from the  button in the Devices and Sensors section.

4. Begin by typing in "Tuff Tilt" and select the name once it autocompletes in the search box.

5. Type in the Connect Code of the THREAD that the Device will be connected to. It will already be pre-filled if the  button on the THREAD was used. 

6. Next, select the THREAD communication port that the device is plugged into, Device 1, 2 or 3.

7. Press Save.

Sensor Configuration

Once configured, the Tiltmeter sensor will populate beneath the TuffTilt Device and can be viewed by clicking the drop-down arrow.

Click on the sensor name to access its configuration settings.

Sensor Orientation

The X/Y Axis will always be fixed relative to the Tiltmeter. The Y+ Axis will follow the Longer side of the tiltmeter and the X the short.

REFERENCE DATE - ∆

The reference date will specify the first date used when calculating delta metrics indicated by the ∆

Specify the Reference date to use ∆ Delta calculations

DEVICE AZIMUTH - Northing/Easting

The Tiltmeter does not inherently know North/East. In order for North/East to be correctly represented, you will need to specify the device azimuth. This is done by measuring the angle from North to the Reference indicator in a clockwise direction. 

Reference Indicator - The Y Axis represents the sensor's Reference Indicator (Shown below)

Specify the Sensor Azimuth to use Northing/Easting calculations

STRUCTURE AZIMUTH

This field will allow you to orient the Transverse/Longitudinal Axis in any desired direction. It is useful for finding movement in the direction of a specific structure or any point of reference. See the Structure Azimuth Section for instructions on how to properly set it up.

Specify the Structure Azimuth to use Transverse/Longitudinal calculations

GAUGE LENGTH

Enter the length of the structure you wish to extrapolate tilt over to calculate a displacement at to top. This will use trig calculations with the Tilt X/Y angles to create a X/Y Vector at the top of the structure. 

Specify the Structure Height to use X/Y calculations and allow vectors in Map View.
