  • Page 3: Introduction

    The T1 and T1R temperature sensors are designed to provide trouble-free submersible operation when properly installed. The T1 (non-recording version) operates on an external (9 to 16 VDC) power supply and is ideal for use with many data loggers and SCADA systems.

    T1/T1R INSTRUCTIONS Sensor: There are no user-serviceable parts. If problems develop with sensor stability or accuracy, contact Seametrics. If the sensor has been exposed to hazardous materials, do not return it without notification and authorization. Cable: Cable can be damaged by abrasion, sharp objects, twisting, crimping or crushing and pulling.

  • Page 30: Trouble Shooting

    The single most important step in minimizing a ground loop is to tie all equipment (sensors, dataloggers, external power sources and any other associated equipment) to a single common grounding point. Seametrics recommends the following: (1) the sensor cable shield (the wrapped shield inside the cable) be attached to the power ground on the datalogger and (2) the grounding lug be connected via a 12 AWG or larger wire, to a grounding rod driven into the earth.
