Field Deployment
Program the Instrument
In order to set up a log or download data, you must
connect the instrument to a computer running Win-Situ 5
Software, or a RuggedReader Handheld PC running Win-
Situ Mobile. Refer to the Win-Situ 5 or Win-Situ Mobile
section. See page 2.
Position the Instrument
Place the instrument at the desired depth. Position the
instrument below the lowest anticipated water level, but
not so low that the pressure sensor range might be
exceeded at the highest anticipated water level. Refer to
the tables below to determine usable depth.
