Plant Water Status Console
Fig. 01 - Model 3005F01 Plant Water Status Console - Table top
Model 3000F01
The Plant Water Status Console, Model 3000F01, is supplied without the compressed gas cylinder or the pres-
sure regulator, but does come with a 5-foot long, flexible, high pressure (3,000 psi working pressure) stainless
steel connecting hose to connect to your pressure source. One end of the connecting hose is sealed to the
pressure inlet of the console. The other end can be fitting with standard 1/4-inch pipe fittings to connect to your
regulated pressure source. We recommend you use brass pipe and tube fittings that have a 3,000 psi working
pressure. The regulated pressure that you supply to the console must not exceed the maximum pressure reading
of the pressure readout gauge of the console. For standard units this pressure is 600 psi.
Model 3005F01
The Plant Water Status Console, Model 3005F01, is supplied with a compressed gas cylinder and connected
pressure regulator for field operation. The pressure regulator has been set at the factory for the maximum operat-
ing pressure of the unit which, for standard units, is 600 psi.
