Installation
METER designed the ES-2 sensor for installation in several different
applications. The ES-2 can be installed in line with an irrigation
pipe, in a water body or in a tank.
Note: Do not remove the protective cap from the sensor. This will
change the sensor calibration and result in erroneous data.
6.1
Pipe Water Monitoring
The threaded cap on the ES-2 allows for easy installation into a pipe
for monitoring the EC and temperature of water flowing through a
pipe.
To integrate the ES-2 into an irrigation pipe, begin by ensuring the
white threaded plug is installed on the side of the protective screw
cap. Then screw the end of the ES-2 sensor into a 3/4” NPT Tee
pipe fitting. If necessary, use a pipe converter to convert from the
3/4” NPT thread size to a size more appropriate for your system.
Orient the sensor with the cable end facing down or to the side.
This will allow air to escape from the sensing area.
6.2
Tank Water Monitoring
The ES-2 can be used to monitor water in a storage tank or water
body. When used in a tank or water body, the ES-2 should be used
with the attached protective screw-on cap. It is best to suspend the
sensor in the tank, but if this is not possible, make sure that the
sensor is placed away from the sides of the tank as much as possible.
After the sensor is installed in the correct location, follow the in-
structions in
