INSTALLATION
Installing the Sensor
The LevelSCOUT measures level. The most common application is measuring liquid levels
in wells and tanks.
level at a fixed depth. The installation depth depends on the range of the sensor. The
sensor should not be installed below its maximum depth. If the sensor is installed below
its maximum depth, damage may result to the sensor and the output reading will not be
correct.
Note: If you are using an absolute sensor and you want to enter a depth-to-water
reference after data is collected, then see the Barometric Compensation section
before proceeding.
• Lower the sensor to the desired depth.
• Fasten the cable to the well head using tie wraps or a weather proof strain-relief
system.
• Take a measurement to insure the sensor is not installed below its maximum range.
Be sure the supplied cap is securely placed on the weather-resistant connector at the
top of the cable. Do not install such that the connector might become submerged with
changing weather conditions. The connector can withstand incidental splashing but is not
designed to be submerged.
The sensor can be installed in any position; however, when it leaves the factory it is
tested in the vertical position.
not hurt it.
If the sensor is being installed in a fluid environment other than water,
be sure to check the compatibility of the fluid with the wetted parts of the sensor.
Battery Life Calculator
The LevelSCOUT has a battery life calculator that is set at the factory when batteries are
first put in the sensor. If you need to replace the batteries, see the Maintenance section
for replacement information and for information on resetting the battery life calculator.
If the battery life calculator is not reset, the remaining life information will be
incorrect.
