Note: The Data Collector package includes the associated product literature, such as manuals and warranties. It is your responsibility to contact the manufacturing company to register the Data Collector.

What’s NewUsing Face Profiler for blast design has never been simpler or more efficient than now with the release of Face Profiler 6.x for Windows Mobile and its accompanying Reports software for Windows. In addition to keeping people safe and staying in compliance with mining regulatory agencies, profiling blasts with Face Profiler helps to:

• Control blast costs by getting it right the first time.

• Manage inventory effectively with blasts that satisfy demand exactly.

With the upgrade to Face Profiler 6.x, customers can get all the benefits of the original program plus many new market-driven enhancements and an optimized workflow. For the current and potential customers who do not print field reports, Face Profiler Reports for Windows provides the ability to calculate, adjust, and print reports from the desk with a larger view of the profile. Scroll arrows have been added to facilitate moving between profiles. New Drill Angle options have been added to safeguard against unwanted calculations. Dates are now recorded for when the profile was measured and when reports are generated. Modifications to a profile is now accommodated by renaming it. Formatted reports can be printed to a PDF file, making them more secure for sending to stakeholders.

Section 4 - Start ProfilingAbout Jobs, Drill Holes & Profiles

Face Profiler lets you organize your work into jobs, each of these jobs may contain one or more drill holes. Suppose that you're working at the C&M Quarry, and today you wish to survey two facesas shown in Figure 28.

In the above example the day is organized into two jobs. Each job has its own name, drill angle, drill offset and burden values. The first job will be the “North Wall”, and the other job will be the “SE Wall”.

Drill Holes are numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. Each Drill Hole may have one or more Profiles associated with it; i.e. for profiling around bench corners. Profiles are numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. Each Profile can have its own Origin value, if there are known coordinates for the position of the equipment when the Profile is measured. If Origin coordinates are used, they may be entered by hand or determined by a laser shot from the current instrument position to the next one.

NOTE An easy way to establish relative coordinates for a series of profiles is to start at one end of the face, put a target in the ground, and then follow a straight line parallel with the face, shooting each profile's Origin relative to the target.

As a profile is measured, Face Profiler records the coordinate values of each shot and updates the drawing in the Data Collector's display. At any time, it is possible to navigate away from the Shoot Profile screen, go back and add values to a previous profile, calculate drill hole parameters, or calculate Depth vs. Burden data.

Face Profiler does not limit the number of Jobs, Drill Holes, or Profiles that may be stored on the Data Collector. On a practical basis, as an example, a Data Collector with 64MB of RAM can store about 400 Drill Holes with Profiles containing 75 shots each. A Data Collector with more RAM can store even more Profiles.

Figure 28

Calculate Drill Hole ParametersThere are four ways to calculate Burden values and Drill Hole parameters:

• Burden/Enter Hole Offset — Manually enter the distance from Crest and Drill angle values.• Burden/Shoot Hole Location — Shoot in the Hole Location to calculate the distance from Crest.• Drill Hole — Optimize the Burden for an angled face and calculate the distance from crest and Drill Angle.• Drill Hole Fixed Angle — Optimize the Burden for an angled face and calculate the distance from crest

and Drill Angle at a Fixed Angle Increment.

Calculate Burden - Enter Hole OffsetA distance from crest value can be entered for a profile to calculate burden results with specific parameters in mind.

About Enter Hole Offset Parameters Figure 52:

• HD from crest — Enter the Hole Offset or the setback distance in the field labeled HD from crest.

• Drill angle — Enter zero if the drill angle is perfectly vertical.• Enter a positive value if the hole angles toward the face.• Enter a negative value if the hole angles away from the face.• This will extend the hole below the Toe and calculate

Depth vs. Burden data.• Depth increment — Enter the number of feet (or meters) from the crest down

the face at which data will be displayed in tables and reports; for example, every 3 feet or 1 meter.

• Subdrill — If the drill hole should extend below the floor of the profile, enter that value in the Subdrill field.

Procedure for Enter Hole Offset:

1. Tap [Calculate] menu and select [Burden] (Figure 53A).2. Tap the [Enter Hole Offset] option (Figure 53B). 3. Enter the Hole Offset, Drill angle, Depth increment and/or subdrill in their relative fields (Figure 53C).
