Groundwater Sensor Setup
The Groundwater Sensor Setup function allows you to enter information about groundwater sensors installed in
groundwater monitoring wells at the site. You must enter data individually for each sensor. The information you
enter tells the system the number and location of installed sensors.
Selecting the Groundwater Sensor Setup Function
To select Groundwater Sensor Setup, press FUNCTION until you see the message:
Press STEP to continue.
Groundwater Sensor Configuration
If necessary, press STEP until you see the message:
Use this display to tell the system which sensor positions on a module are connected to groundwater sensors.
NOTE: If groundwater sensors are not installed, this function is not available.
HOW THE SYSTEM CONFIGURES GROUNDWATER SENSORS
If groundwater sensors are installed, the system recognizes the presence and module slot locations of
Groundwater Sensor Interface Modules. The system also establishes a module number based on the slot location.
For example, if modules are installed in slots #3 and #6, the module in slot #3 automatically becomes module #1
and the module in slot #6 becomes module #2.
As you specify which sensor positions on a module are connected to groundwater sensors, the system establishes
a number for each sensor. For example, if there is a groundwater sensor in positions 3 and 5 of module 1, the
sensor in position 3 becomes G3 and the sensor in position 5 becomes G5.
To indicate that a groundwater sensor position is connected, choose the number corresponding to that position.
For example, if the position is 3, choose 3 for the position. To indicate that a position is not connected, choose X
for that position.
SPECIFYING GROUNDWATER SENSOR POSITIONS
To specify whether the first position is connected, press CHANGE until the correct choice appears (1 if the
position is connected, X if it is not). Press the Right Arrow key to move to position 2 and press CHANGE again
until the correct choice appears. Repeat these steps until you have correctly specified all sensor positions. When
you have entered a choice for all positions, press ENTER to confirm your entry. The system displays the following
message:
