Mechanical Telltales
DESCRIPTION
The Mechanical Telltales from Trolex’s RMT product line are low-cost, visual tools for monitoring movement in a tunnel roof, typically for use in underground mines. There are 3 models of telltales: Auto-Warning Telltale (AWTT), Mechanical Telltale and Rotary Telltale. All models include a visual scale for monitoring movement (in mm). The AWTT model also includes LED’s for indication of movement above a set threshold, from a further distance.
APPLICATIONS
- Fully proven in coal mine tunnels.
- Mechanical Telltale + Rotary Telltale:
Typically installed in vertical boreholes close to the face and near to the centre of the heading as part of the normal cycle by purpose trained personnel. - Auto-Warning Telltale:
Typically installed in vertical boreholes where access may become restricted or would constitute a high risk for direct or close-up viewing.
QUICK SPECS
- Mechanical Telltale:
Visual displacement reading in mm with traffic light warning system. - Rotary Telltale:
Visual displacement reading in mm with traffic light warning system, rotary dial – removes parallax error as it is easier for the user to take readings on the rotary face. - Auto-Warning Telltale:
Gives a visible indication (flashing LEDs) when triggered by a pre-set level of strata movement.
Once triggered, the AutoWarning Telltale flashes for months or until manually reset.
Visual displacement reading in mm with traffic light warning system at pre-set threshold level.
