Sensor Installation
1.
Turn off AC power to the Veeder-Root monitoring system.
2.
Remove any existing cap from the well in which the sensor will be installed. (A new well cap is supplied with
the groundwater sensor.)
3.
Lower the groundwater sensor into the monitoring well until the water float touches the bottom of the well.
4.
Raise the sensor 2-inches to 4-inches from the bottom of the well and mark the sensor with a piece of tape at
the point even with the top of the well casing.
5.
Secure the sensor at the point marked with the tape to the retainer under the sensor well cap. Allow any
excess sensor length (should be no more than 2-feet) to hang loosely from the retainer [Figure 2].
