3. In a simple application the sensor is simply immersed into the water to the desired depth, but within the
depth rating of the sensor. Please note the depth rating is based on stagnant water.
4. Allowances must be made for the effect of flowing water to ensure the stagnant depth rating is not
exceeded. If the sensor is to be installed downwards then it is recommended to install it a few degrees
away from the vertical to allow bubbles to escape away from the optic face.
5. Sensors with integrated wiping should be installed such that they can be easily retrieved from time to
time to replace the wiper arm assembly.
6. It is important that the optic end of the sensor is kept clear of obstruction such as the river bed. The
minimum distance between the optic head and any object should be 50mm (2").
7. At any time, you can use the smartphone application to connect to the sensor (refer to section "Android
Application interface" of this document). In the case you cannot see live data, disconnect and
reconnect the sensor to the NEP-5000-LINK interface module and start the application again.
Note: Be careful, the standard casing of the NEP-5000-LINK as well as the optic face is made of
plastic materials and should be protected from accidental scratching or abrasion. The wiper arm
assembly should be replaced periodically to avoid abrasive material build-up in the pad that may
eventually abrade the optic face. The optic face is partially protected from damage by the protruding
castellation in the sensor casing.
