Water Level Measurements
1. The zero measurement point on the
101B P1 Probe is at the tip of the
conductor pins.
2. Feed the tape into the well. If a tape
guide is used, lay the tape onto the
groove on the top. Measurements will
be read at the point of the V-notch on
the tape guide. Remember to deduct
2/10 ft or 6.0 cm.
3. The light and buzzer activate when the
probe conductor pins enter water. To
ensure accuracy, lower and raise the
probe a few times and then record the
depth measurement from the tape at
the top of the well.
