  • Page 4: Product Overview

    It can be used to measure any closed pipe, straight or crooked with a constant diameter. The Well Watch 660DL consists of a control unit and a probe which are connected by a latching hinge. The control unit contains the driver electronics, processor, display, and keypad, while the probe contains a speaker, a microphone and a threaded spout to connect to the test pipe.

    Factory default values. LOGGING The Well Watch 660DL includes a built-in data logger which can record the measurement data automatically at preset intervals when automatic logging is enabled. Each data point includes the system time and date, well ID, depth, temperature, battery voltage, signal strength, and error codes.
  • Page 21: Usb Communications

    If the log period is set to zero minutes, then every reading is logged. USB COMMUNICATIONS The Well Watch 660DL contains an expanded memory which provides enough memory to record one data point per minute for over 50 years. This memory supports a windows compatible file system which can be accessed using the USB port.

    The TX terminal on the well watch goes to pin 2 on the D connector, RX goes to pin 3 and GND goes to pin 5. A simple serial to USB adapter is available from Eno Scientific or most computer stores to use with laptops without serial ports. The default serial configuration on the Well Watch is 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

    The maximum range is limited by the maximum time during which the echo is monitored, and the strength of the echo signal. Uncased wells drilled through porous material can attenuate the signal faster than the rated distance, making detection impossible. Eno Scientific Well Watch 660DL Page 35...
