Measure the sensor offset 

 
This section applies to ULS-02 and ULS-06 level sensors only. If you are using another type of level sensor, please 
refer to the instructions of the leveling device used.  
 
The sensor offset is the distance from the tip of the level sensor to the bottom of the pipe or channel. This distance 
will be entered into the software and is necessary for accurate flow calculations.

Prerequisites  
 

 

Rod 

 

Tape measure 

 

Procedure 
 

1. 

Put the rod in the bottom of the pipe or channel and align it vertically with the level sensor (Figure 13). 

2. 

Make a mark on the rod to identify where the top of the sensor frame is.
