Notes:
1. Clockwise rotation of sensitivity
dial turns meter on and
increases sensitivity.
2. Always set dial to highest
sensitivity position, then decrease
if necessary.
2. Depress the Battery Test button to
test the battery and main circuitry.
3. Submerse the probe in tap water to test
the probe. This completes the circuit
and activates the buzzer and light.
Routine Care
1. After the depth to water has been
recorded, the cable should be carefully
rewound onto the reel, the probe wiped
dry and placed into the probe holder.
2. The probe, weights, cable and reel
can be wiped clean with phosphate
free (non-abrasive) detergent and
water. Do not submerge the reel.
Battery Replacement
• Battery type - alkaline, 9 volt.
1. The battery is housed within the
faceplate of the reel.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove
the three screws on the faceplate.
Replacement Parts
The following parts can be provided
should components become lost or
damaged.
1. Splice kits
2. Lights, dials, etc.
3. Reels
4 Replacement cable with probe
(complete)
5. Assembled probes on 10 ft or 3 m
lengths of cable
6. Weights
3. Carefully remove the faceplate so
as to not unwind the cable. Note
that there is an elastic band keeping
everything together in the faceplate.
4. While leaving the elastic band in
place, replace the battery.
5. Carefully place the faceplate back
onto the hub and line up the holes.
Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
CAUSE
REMEDY
No sound when probe
immersed in water.
Dead battery.
Replace with 9V Alkaline.
Water Conductivity is very low.
Increase sensitivity dial setting (turn clockwise) or
call Solinst for assistance.
Disconnected wires on circuit
board.
Check all connections inside hub of reel for
loose/disconnected wires - solder or reconnect.
Broken wire in cable.
Locate break in cable - splice and seal, or replace.

the circuit connection.
Contact Solinst for instructions to clean or
replace the probe.
Note:
Before screwing the faceplate back
onto the hub, make sure no wires are
outside the hub.
6. Once the screws have been tightened
and the faceplate is secure, test the
water level meter.
Equipment Check
1. Turn sensitivity dial
fully clockwise.
Water Level Measurements
1. The zero measurement point on both
P4 and P10 Probes is near the tip.
2. Feed the cable into the well. If a tape
guide is used, lay the cable 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 tip enters water. To ensure
accuracy, lower and raise the probe a
few times and then record the depth
measurement from the cable at the top
of the well.
