• 

Operates with a 12V  

18Ah Battery, average 

consumption is 14mA 

(=> 50 days batt life - 

based on 7 x 3 hr purges 

and a 1m (3ft) water level 

rise per day) 

• 

A small 5 Watt Solar 

panel is sufficient to keep 

the battery fully charged. 

• 

Operates with up to 300m 

(900ft) of river line and 

30m (100ft) head of wa-

ter. 

The HS-35, when used with a 

Dry Nitrogen source and the Gas 

Chamber Orifice GC01, forms a 

complete Hydrostatic Level Sen-

sor for measuring water level in 

dams, rivers, canals and tanks 

with up to 300m (900ft) of river 

line and 30m (100ft) of water 

head. The unit can be used with 

any pressure transducer

 . 

A dot point view of the product is 

as follows : 

• 

Must be used with a GCO  

• 

Can be used with any 

pressure   transducer. 

• 

Automatic Purge se-

quence :  

1. 

Operate a 3 way valve to 

isolate the user’s pressure 

transducer. 

2. 

Switch a valve to connect the 

dry N2 gas bottle to the 

GCO. 

3. 

Purge for 1 secs. 

4. 

Monitor the pressure for 25 

secs. 

5. 

Switch the valve back to 

connect the transducer to the 

GCO. 

• 

Purge when : 

1. 

Every 3 hours (fixed) and 

2. 

When water level rises by 

more than 100mm (4 inches) 

or 

3. 

Manual purge by operator. 

• 

Falling water level – ex-

cess pressure vents auto-

matically from GCO – no 

purging required. 

• 

Pressure on transducer is 

held constant during a 

purge.
