    If the air pressure varies, the measured water pressure will thus also vary, without varying the water level. The air pressure can be © July 2023 Van Essen Instruments. All rights reserved. www.vanessen.com...
  • Page 6: Measuring Water Level

    To measure these variations in atmospheric pressure a Baro-Diver is installed for each site being measured. The barometric compensation for these variations in atmospheric pressure can be done using the Diver-Office software, see www.vanessen.com for a free download. It is also possible to use alternative barometric data such as data made available online.
  • Page 7 The top of casing is measured to be 150 cm above the Mean Seal Level (MSL): TOC = 150 cm. The cable length is not exactly known and therefore a manual measurement is taken. It turns out to be 120 cm: MM = 120 cm. © July 2023 Van Essen Instruments. All rights reserved. www.vanessen.com...

    Divers. The Baro-Diver can also be used for measuring shallow water levels up to 1 meter. The Baro-Diver samples pressure and temperature at fixed length intervals and stores these values in fixed length or continuous memory. © July 2023 Van Essen Instruments.

  • Page 9: Factory Calibration Procedure

    Each Diver is individually calibrated and tested at several temperature and pressure values to ensure superior performance. The Diver is calibrated for the lifetime of the instrument, as long as it is used within its specified range. A calibration certificate is available upon request. © July 2023 Van Essen Instruments.

  • Page 18: Use Of Divers At Varying Elevation

    We recommend the Cera-Diver (part no DI7xx) and/or CTD-Diver (part no DI28x) for use in semi-saline water/seawater. These Divers have a ceramic casing that does not corrode. © July 2023 Van Essen Instruments. All rights reserved. www.vanessen.com...
  • Page 19: Maintenance

    Never use any hard brushes, abrasives or sharp objects for cleaning the Diver and always rinse it properly with clean water after cleaning, particularly near the flow-through openings. Do not use any powerful jets. This could damage the pressure sensor. © July 2023 Van Essen Instruments. All rights reserved. www.vanessen.com...
  • Page 20: Appendix I Use Of Divers At Varying Elevation

    We therefore recommend that all Divers and the Baro-Divers in a network be placed such that the mutual height differentials are minimized. If necessary, multiple Baro-Divers can be deployed to avoid the abovementioned issues. © July 2023 Van Essen Instruments. All rights reserved. www.vanessen.com...
