Installation of Data Logger DCX
Dip pipe installation (DCX-22 AA, DCX-22 SG and DCX-22 VG)
Revolution in level metrology:
Gone are the days of the costly measuring stations at the lakes and rivers. The new generation of
level measuring stations presents itself inconspicuously and vandal-proof and can be set up at
considerably lower costs compared to conventional systems. Here is an application example at a
barrage:
The dip pipe is firmly mounted at the measuring place. If the dip pipe is being sunk
into the ground, openings have to ensure that water can enter the pipe.
The level sensor, connected by a cable to the electronics housing, is immersed into
the pipe. The housing incorporates the electronics, the battery and the air pressure
sensor.
The electronics housing is mounted onto the end of the pipe.
The protective cap of the interface must be cleaned from dirt and water prior to
removing.
Via data cable, a Laptop is connected to the system on site. The stored measuring
values with the programmed parameters can now be read out or the instrument can
be reconfigured.
The system is set up for a wireless data transfer via modem.
A vandal-proof metal cap mounted at the end of the system prevents unauthorised
access.
The level sensor and the electronics housing form a leak-proof unit and are thus
protected against flooding and brackish water.
Warning!
A check of pressure offset values is recommended after each installation with resetting if necessary
(see Set Pressure Offset in the description of Writer/WriterWL)!
