Cutting the cable 4.2
When the piezometer is installed at the right depth, the remaining part of the cable may be cut.
5 Programming and data collection
Connect the piezometer’s two wires to the crocodile clips of your PVT Interface. Start up the software on
your computer and connect the interface to one of the computer’s USB ports. You can now read the serial
number and real time value on the computer screen.
We recommend you to monitor the pressure in real time during installation.
If your piezometer is equipped with logging memory, you may use your computer for setting required log-
ging intervals and collecting log files.
A log file from the installation will verify that the equipment has not been exposed to a pressure exceeding
allowed maximum pressure while being pushed through the soil. In this case the logging interval should
be set to the minimum.
Please refer to the separate software manual for your read-out and programming solution.
Please refer to separate documents for information on systems for remote management.
6 Maintenance
Damaged equipment 6.1
The piezometer is not designed for repair in the field. Disassembly requires special tools and special
spare parts will be required. The piezometer requires calibration after having been disassembled.
Piezometers with logging memory are powered by Lithium Metal batteries that must be handled with care
as a flammability hazard exists. Do not short-circuit, mishandle or disassemble the battery.
