SSEMBLY

Saturation Instructions:

1

Remove the sealing screw from the bottom end of the piezometer.

2

Fill a bucket full of water.

3

Immerse the piezometer in the bucket of water so the sealing screw is pointing
upwards.

4

Allow the air within the piezometer to escape. Gently tap and move the
piezometer around underwater.

5

Replace the sealing screw underwater after all the air has been removed from
the piezometer.

6

Note that with a low-pressure range piezometer (70 kPa), readings must be
taken with a readout box while carefully pushing the filter housing on so as not to
over-range the sensor.

7

To maintain saturation, the unit should be stored under water until installation.
