Page 4: Introduction
VHF radio. The piezometer can be used in "yo-yo" mode, whereby it remains connected to the coring cable, with a measurement time of a few hours, while the ship remains directly above the station. Once the measurement is made, the piezometer and its tube are retrieved by heaving the coring cable. - Page 5 33-30-077- USER GUIDE PIEZOMETRE Piezomètre_UTI UK Rev : 3 Page 5/41 Vue d'ensemble du piézomètre complet nke Tel +33 (0)2-97-36-10-12 Fax +33 (0)2-97-36-55-17 http://www.nke-nstrumentation.com PAGE 5/41...

Page 8: Lance Assembly Procedure
3.1 Lance element The lance comprises the elements described below: Bulkhead : Allows the lance to be mechanically connected to the ballast part of the piezometer. It will receive the first tube of the lance. First connecting tube: Provides the connection between the bulkhead and the first sensor sleeve. -

(0.75, 1.5 and 3 m) Equipressure bladder: Allows a potential lack of oil to be compensated. 100 ml capacity. Lance tube : Final element of the piezometer lance. 3.2 Special tools Vacuum pump: Allows oil filling of the communication bus. -
Page 10: Assembly Procedure
Page 10/41 4. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE To complete the assembly of a piezometer lance, we start from the bottom end of the lance and finish with the bulkhead, which weighs around 20 kg. To facilitate the work, arrange the sleeve numbers in the ascending order, starting from the top end of the lance. -

Page 15: Presentation And Use
The PC and the "Piezometer" communicate through the "Communication interface". 5.2 Communication mode To communicate with the "Piezometer", the "WINPIEZO" software uses a USB RS422/RS485 serial communication port. The installation of this port must be carried out first (see § 3 page 6). -
Page 16: Installation
33-30-077- Piezomètre_UTI UK USER GUIDE PIEZOMETER Rev : 3 Page 16/41 5.3 Installation The "WINPIEZO" software does not require any particular installation. Simply copy the executable file (.exe) WINPIEZO.EXE directly onto the computer. 5.4 Install the drivers The converter contained in the "MDS communication interface" needs to be installed on your PC in order to operate. -
