Software will not Loose cable
communicate with
sensor
Contacts in connector loose
SEE ALSO ERRATIC READINGS BELOW
Erratic readings Poor connection due to moisture between
contacts in connector
Loose or broken wires in connector
Damaged cable, cracked or fraying
Moisture in the unit
Damaged transmitter
Oscillating pressure Plugged vent tube (if using a vented unit)
readings over time
(usually 0.5 to 1.5
feet of water)
Actual water level changes in the aquifer
itself in response to barometric pressure
changes. This effect can occur in tight
formations where the transmitter will
immediately pick up barometric changes
but the the aquifer will not.
Zero pressure Poor connection due to moisture between
readings when contacts in connector
pressurized
Loose or broken wires in connector
Damaged cable, broken, cracked, or fraying
No apparent damage upon visual inspection Return for evaluation and repair

Be sure desiccant tube is installed. Test by
gently applying a small amount of pressure
to the end of the desiccant tube and seeing
if this affect the transmitter reading. If it does
not, then the vent tube is plugged. Return for
evaluation and repair.
You will need to record barometric pressure as
well as the water level pressure and compensate
the data
Dry thoroughly. Be sure desiccant is fresh (see
