Note:  If error conditions exist, line two of the display will be replaced by an alternating 
error message. See the ERROR CODES section for details.

The Well Watch has two different operating modes, DISPLAY mode and SET modes. 
The DISPLAY modes are accessed by pressing the DISP button, then the UP and 
DOWN keys cycle through the available display options. The SET modes are accessed
by pressing the SET button, then the UP and DOWN keys cycle through the available 
setting options.  When a parameter is shown, pressing the ENT key causes it to flash, 
during which time the UP and DOWN keys change the parameter. Press ENT again or 
BACK to stop the flashing and return to scrolling through the setting options. 

*The DISP key will always return the display to the first display option and the SET key 
will always return to the first setting option.
**If left on a set screen, the system will return to the first display screen automatically 
after 30 seconds of inactivity.

DISPLAY MODES:

  There are several DISPLAY options as follow: 

1 – DEFAULT display screen which shows current water level with the 

time/date on the second line. Once the signal is locked and stable, the depth is 
displayed in the units selected. Occasionally a spurious depth reading will be 
calculated due to random noise in the well. Software in the Well Watch identifies the 
anomaly and holds the last good data through a few bad data points while a good 
depth is obtained. An asterisk is displayed before the depth while holding. If a stable 
depth is not found in several tries, the depth is replaced with “searching” until one can 
be found. If there are any error conditions, such as when the probe is not on the well, 
or when the external power supply is low, an error message will alternately be 
displayed on the second line.

2 – Flow Meter display screen if the flow meter is enabled, shows the current 

flow rate with the totalized flow on the second line. Pressing ENT while on this screen 
will reset the flow total to 0.

3 – WIW display screen which shows the total reserve of water in the well 

with the rate of change on the second line. The WIW (water-in-well) is calculated using 
the set well diameter and the set depth of well. These settings are only used for this 
calculation. If the well depth is set to the level of the pump, the WIW number will be the
number of usable gallons (liters) of water in the well.

4 – TIME AND DATA display screen which shows the system time and date. 

Pressing ENT while on this screen allows the time and date to be set. Each time ENT
