Ms2H Equipment List; Operating Procedure - Bartington MS2 Operation Manual

The sensing coil position is indicated by the lowest graduation mark ('0') on the probe head.

13.2. MS2H Equipment List

The MS2H probe is supplied with:
• 1 x MS2H probe head
• 1 x 0.9m lower extension tube (attaches to probe head)
• 1 x 1.0m extension tube
• 1 x 5m cable (or 10m if additional extension tubes are purchased)
• 1 x rubber boot for cable protection and shower proofing
• 1 x calibration sample
• 1 x pack of spare 'O' rings

13.3. Operating Procedure

13.3.1. Probe Assembly
1. Connect the cable to probe head.
2. Thread the free end of the cable through the short (0.9m) extension tube.
3. Connect the probe head to the short extension tube by screwing together.
Note: To avoid twisting the cable whilst doing this, or when adding extra tubes, hold the
probe head still and only rotate the extension tube.
Caution: Do not over-tighten or the sealing ring may be damaged. Light-hand pressure
is sufficient. The assembly is correctly tightened when the sealing ring is just clamped
between the tubes, and the graduated scale on the probe head and the tube are exactly
aligned.
4. If not already fitted, feed the cable through the threaded end of the rubber boot, and screw
the boot into the extension tube.
5. Connect the cable to the MS2 meter and switch on.
13.3.2. Assembly for Deep Holes
If the hole under investigation is deeper than ~1m then additional extension tubes should be
added at step (3).
