Sensor Installation
To install the groundwater sensor:
1. Turn off AC power to the Veeder-Root monitoring system.
2. Remove any existing cap from the well in which the sensor will be installed. (A new well cap is
supplied with the groundwater sensor.)
3.
Lower the groundwater sensor into the monitoring well until the water float touches the bottom of
the well.
4.
Raise the sensor 2-inches to 4-inches from the bottom of the well and mark the sensor with a piece
of tape at the point even with the top of the well casing.
5.
Secure the sensor at the point marked with the tape to the retainer under the sensor well cap. Allow
any excess sensor length (should be no more than 2-feet) to hang loosely from the retainer
[Figure 2].

6.
Press the sensor well cap into the top of the well with the excess sensor length hanging inside the
well housing.
7.
Press down the locking handle on the sensor well cap to secure it in position and to form a water-
tight seal between the sensor well cap and the monitoring well housing.
