As with any monitoring project, you should select the proper equipment and determine a maintenance schedule based on the environment specific to your application. For the WLTS, this means selecting the appropriate pressure range, ensuring the monitoring temperatures are within the instruments specifications, and making sure the wetted materials are compatible with site chemistry.
Other maintenance tips include:
- Clean the connections to ensure a proper seal. A cotton swab can be used to clear any moisture, or debris from the connectors.
- Keep the dust caps on all of the connections, when not in use.
- Store the WLTS in its case, and the Communication/Vented Cable on its spool when not in use.
- Clean the WLTS as required.
- To ensure the vent tube is dry before deployment or storage, Solinst offers a Vented Cable Blowout Fitting that allows you to blow nitrogen gas through the tube.
Note:
See the 301 WLTS User Guides for more maintenance and troubleshooting tips.
