2. The probe, tape and reel can be
wiped clean with phosphate free
(non-abrasive) detergent and water.
Do not submerge the reel.
Battery Replacement

Water Level Measurements
1. The zero measurement point on the
101B P1 Probe is at the tip of the
conductor pins.
2. Feed the tape into the well. If a tape
guide is used, lay the tape onto the
groove on the top. Measurements will
be read at the point of the V-notch on
the tape guide. Remember to deduct
2/10 ft or 6.0 cm.
3. The light and buzzer activate when the
probe conductor pins enter water. To
ensure accuracy, lower and raise the
probe a few times and then record the
depth measurement from the tape at
the top of the well.
