DO NOT use the
dipper-Temp
to measure the progress of back filling wells. The tape and probe may become trapped in the backfill
material.
DO NOT allow the tape to “freewheel” down the well. It may become caught in other equipment in the well.
When rewinding the tape remove as much water and debris as possible from the tape and the probe.
Cleaning the Heron dipper-Temp
Always clean the meters after use in the field to maintain optimal performance and extend the life of the unit.
The
dipper-Temp
may be cleaned with any mild household dishwashing detergent and rinsed with water.
DO NOT use abrasives, partially halogenated hydrocarbons or ketones to clean the reel. If the electronic panel is removed first, the reel and
tape can be washed with a power washer.
Remove the panel retaining thumb screws (nuts) to release the panel. Take care not to lose the thumb screws as the unit will not work
without them.
For longer units with aluminum reel discs, the panel is connected to the tapes with male and female push connectors.
Troubleshooting the Heron dipper-Temp
Q. No sound or light when the unit is tested.
A. Refer to Equipment Check and follow procedures. Change the battery.
Q. Equipment checked, panel okay but probe not working.
A. Make sure both panel retaining thumb screws (nuts) are tight.
Q. Still not sounding in water.
A. Adjust the sensitivity setting. If the unit still does not work
check all the connections inside the hub (inside the hub polarity is not an
issue as the current is AC).
Contact Heron Instruments or your supplier if you cannot isolate the problem.
