It is interesting to measure the amount of lift the sludge blanket experiences just 
after  the  skimmer  passes  under  the  tank  bridge.    A  steady  hand  lowering  the 
sensor  probe  will  allow  the  operator  to  track  the  settling  of  the  blanket  after  the 
skimmer  passes  under  the  bridge.    With  experience,  you  will  come  to  expect  a 
certain rate of settling after the skimmer passes.  Unexpected settling differences 
may indicate a process problem.   
 
Always be aware of the skimmer location prior to lowering the sensor probe into 
the tank. 
 

Check  for  uniformity  of  blanket  height  by  walking  the  length  of  the  bridge 
while maintaining the sensor probe just above the identified blanket.

MAINTENANCE 
 

 

Replace all 6 batteries as a group with new AA alkaline batteries of the 
same type and brand. 

 

Switch 

SID 

power switch-off when not in use to conserve batteries  

 

Store 

SID 

for long periods with the batteries removed 

 

Store

 SID 

in cool dry place and out of direct sunlight

TROUBLESHOOTING 
 

NO  POWER

  –  remove  faceplate  and  verify  connections  between 

battery cradle and printed circuit board. 
 

NO POWER

 – replace all six batteries with new of same brand 

 

ALL  RED  LIGHTS  ILLUMINATED

  with  no  blockage  of  sensor  probe 

gap  –  indicates  failure  of  signal  cable.    Likely  point  is  near  sensor 
probe.    Bend  and  wiggle  signal  cable  along  five  foot  section  of  cable
