What Is The Levelscout; Initial Inspection And Handling - Seametrics LevelSCOUT Instructions Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION LEVELSCOUT INSTR

What is the LevelSCOUT?

The Seametrics LevelSCOUT Smart Sensor is an integrated datalogger and level/temperature
sensor and is ideal for site assessments, tidal studies, environmental monitoring, surface
water discharge measurement, and aquifer level monitoring, as well as aquifer storage and
recovery. This sensor networks with all of the Seametrics Smart Sensor family.
This industry standard digital RS485 interface device records up to 50,000 records of level,
temperature, and time data, operates with low power, and features easy-to-use software
with powerful features. Constructed with 316 stainless steel, acetal, and Viton , this sensor
®
provides high-accuracy readings in rugged and corrosive field conditions.
The LevelSCOUT is an absolute sensor, requiring no vent tubes, desiccant, or bellows. It can
be paired with a BaroSCOUT barometric sensor and used with the Aqua4Plus 2.0 Barometric
Compensation Utility to adjust the LevelSCOUT readings for current atmospheric pressure.
A replaceable ½ AA 3.6v lithium battery powers the LevelSCOUT. The unit is programmed
using Seametrics' easy-to-use Aqua4Plus 2.0 control software. Once programmed the unit
will measure and collect data at the time interval programmed.
Replace your analog sensor/datalogger with the Seametrics LevelSCOUT as a stand-
alone unit or network with other Seametrics Smart Sensors. While most will use the
LevelSCOUT with Seametrics Aqua4Plus 2.0 software, it is by no means limited to
that software. You can use your own Modbus RTU software or logging equipment
®
to read measurements via RS485, tying into your existing systems and data bases.

Initial Inspection and Handling

Upon receipt of your smart sensor, inspect the shipping package for damage. If any
damage is apparent, note the signs of damage on the appropriate shipping form. After
opening the carton, look for concealed damage, such as a cut cable. If concealed damage
is found, immediately file a claim with the carrier.
Check the etched label on the sensor to be sure that the proper range and type were
provided. Also check the label attached to the cable at the connector end for the proper
cable length.
