PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Well Sounder 2010 is a simple to use self-contained portable acoustic ranging instrument designed specifically to find the distance through a pipe or bore hole to an obstruction which could be the surface of water in the hole or the dry bottom.
OPERATION A complete description of all functions can be found in the Mode Definitions section of this manual. POWER ON TO DEPTH DISPLAY: Press the ON button located on the front panel of the control unit. The probe will pulsate and the LCD screen will display the default operating screen.

Settings are saved as they are changed so the SET button may be pressed to go to another set screen without pressing any other key to save the setting. LOG A DEPTH READING: Press the LOG button to record a reading for that point in time. The display will show “Logging”. Do not remove the probe or press buttons until the depth is again displayed.

LOG DISPLAY – If logging is enabled, displays the logged data points. The first data point shown is the last point measured, and displays the sequential number for the point, the depth reading, and the date and time stamp. Pressing the ENTER key shows additional data stored for the data point, the ID number, the temperature, the battery level, the signal gain and the error code (if any).
sets the unit to compare data each period against the last logged data point. The new data point is stored in memory if the measurement has changed more than the log change margin (as defined in the Log Change mode.) The logging function requires that data pass a consistency check before being accepted as valid data.

Press "lp5<return>" to set the logging period to 5 minutes. Press "tm15:30:00<return>" to set the system time to 3:30 PM. If serial output is enabled, the prompt and input will be written over on the screen but the input will still be interpreted correctly. It may be easier to disable the serial output while using remote commands.

This indicates that the depth is 74.45 feet, the probe temp is 76.4 F, the flow is 0 gal, the battery voltage is 5.97, and the error code is 2 meaning that the battery voltage is below 6.5 volts. SYSTEM STATE A "?"...
A: The maximum depth depends on several factors. First, the control unit has a maximum range of 700 feet for model 2000, and 2000 feet for model 2010. Second, the standard probe has a maximum range of 700 feet, and the new LF probe can go to 2000 feet. Third is the condition of the well.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, con't Q: Why does the unit need the time set when the power is turned on? A: The lithium battery needs to be replaced. This is a common type 2032, 3 volt lithium coin cell. The unit will continue to operate without the lithium battery but the time and settings will have to be reset every time the power is turned on.
ERROR CODES No error No probe The unit does not see the temperature sensor in the probe. Low Battery The input voltage has dropped below 6.5V. The unit will continue to function properly until the voltage reaches about 5.4V. Once the battery voltage reaches 6.5V there is less than 10% battery life remaining An internal processor over run is occurring.
SPECIFICATIONS POWER: External Power (optional): 5.5 to 12VDC at 50ma. Do not exceed 16V. Connector 5.5mm x 2.1mm center post positive. Internal Power: 6 AA Alkaline batteries. The unit will run continuously for approximately 80 hours on a set of batteries or up to 21 days in power saver mode.
