Depth-to-Water
When using the Depth-to-Water setting, you may want to change the channel label at
the top of the Settings window to read “Depth” or “Depth-to-Water”.
NOTE: Be sure to use the same units for all measurements in this calculation. For
example, if you have the program set to display in Ft H2O then be sure to enter the
barometric pressure and depth-to-water readings in Ft H2O.
-- Computing Offset --
• Enter the current barometric pressure in the
Barometric
box.
• Place the sensor in the well.
• Using a water level indicator or other measuring device, determine the depth-to-
water from the top of the well (or other reference point).
• Enter this value in the
DTW
box.
• Click the
Measure
button.
• When readings have stabilized, click the
Accept
button in the pop-up box.
-- Applying the Slope and Offset --
• Click the
Apply
button to apply the calculated values.
•
The calculated slope and offset will be transferred to the fields near the top of the
window.
• Click OK to save the values to the sensor!!!
-- Verifying Settings --
• Using the Real Time Monitor, take a few readings to verify it is reading as expected.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
When taking readings on an
absolute
sensor, such as the LevelSCOUT, you
will need to
ADD
the current barometric pressure to the sensor reading to
get depth-to-water. See the Barometric Compensation Utility Application
Note (9C0275) for information on how the Barometric Utility can help
automate this process.
