Page 13: Product Description
5 Product description 5.1 Design and function The CFB is a self-contained, precision device for measuring water levels. The device combines a pump, tank, manifold, control board, front panel (display and keypad), Accubar sensor, SDI-12 and RS-232 interfaces, and enclosure for the purpose of measuring water levels using bubble gauge principles. The CFB with dual orifice is capable of providing redundant measurements, measuring water level in two separate bodies of water, accurately measuring water density, or providing an extended range of water level measurement. -

9 Commissioning 9.1 Starting the device The device starts operating as soon as power is applied. The display will turn on. If an Accubar sensor is installed, measurement will commence and the front panel will be updated with a water level reading. By default, the device will measure and log water level every 15 minutes;... -

Page 26: Viewing Current Data
10.1.5 Viewing current data When the display is turned on, the last measured water level will display. The CFB will then initiate a new measurement and display the results as soon as the measurement completes (which is based on averaging time). As long as the water level menu is displayed, live readings will be continuously made. -
Page 27: Adjusting Bubble Rate
10.2.2 Adjusting bubble rate The bubble rate is the measure of the amount of air going down the orifice line per unit of time. The device supports two units for bubble rate: Bubbles per minute (BPM) and Standard Cubic Centimeters per Minute (SCCM). The bubble rate for a site with slowly changing levels is typically 60 bubbles per minute out of a 1/8 ID tube. -
Page 28: Setting Blockage Detection
10.2.5 Setting blockage detection The CFB automatically detects when the orifice line is blocked and intiates a purge. If the line is blocked, the pressure in the line increases and the sensors stop pumping in order not to overpressure. The automatic blockage detection prevents this. -
Page 29: Changing Automeasure Schedule
10.2.8 Changing automeasure schedule The device can measure and log water level data automatically. The interval and time for automeasure can be changed. Automeasure may not be turned off. 4 To change automeasure interval and time, use Station Setup > Accubar Setup at the front panel. In normal mode, data is measured and logged at the following times: Example 1: Automeasure time 00:00:00 interval 00:10:00 –... -
