NOTE:
The installation personnel must have a background of good installation practices and
knowledge of the fundamentals of geotechnics. Novices may find it very difficult to carry on
installation work. The intricacies involved in installation are such that even if a single essential
but apparently minor requirement is ignored or overlooked, the most reliable of instruments
will be rendered useless.
A lot of effort has been made in preparing this instruction manual. However, the best of
instruction manuals cannot provide for every condition in the field that may affect the
performance of the sensor. Also, blindly following the instruction manual will not guarantee
success. Invariably, installation personnel depending upon field conditions, will have to
consciously depart from the written text and use their knowledge and common sense to find
solution to a particular problem.
