Be sure that the vented cable is long enough to reach from the depth location selected to the junction box of the dry air system. Also, be sure that the hook-up cable is long enough to reach from the dry air system junction box to your data recorder.

1.2 Checking the Model Number
Before installing your new WATERLOG® H-310, check the information on the label of the sensor enclosure. Check the model number, the range, and the output type to be sure that you have received the instrument you ordered. The label will look similar to the following:
Model: H-310 Range: 0-15 psi Output: SDI-12 Input: 9.6 to 16.0 volts S/N: 12345
This example shows that the W
ATERLOG

H-310-15 measures pressure within the range from
zero to 15 psi. This model works with a recording device that follows the SDI-12 protocol.
The full order number tells other details about the H-310. The key to the H-310 ordering system is in Appendix B.
1.3 Testing the System
Before placing the H-310 in your selected location, you may wish to test the system by hooking up the H-310 with your data recorder in the shop or lab, (as explained in this manual). Testing the WATERLOG® H-310 in the shop or lab in a bucket of water, and observing the data recorder's readings is good. This familiarizes the user with the H-310 and the data logger in a clear, easy to work in, environment. You are also close to the telephone if questions should arise. However,
for this test to work correctly, you must run a wire from inside the bucket that comes in contact with the water back to the chassis ground of the data recorder. This will insure that there is a good earth ground connection. The purpose for this ground connection is to remove AC coupled noise from the bucket.

2.1 Installing the WATERLOG® H-310 and the H-305
Chapter 2
Installation
To install the W at the desired location and connect the hook-up cable from the H-305 junction box to your data logger.
2.1.1 Sensor Deployment
There are as many ways to deploy the H-310 as there are customers. However, as versatile as the H-310 is, there are some site preparations and maintenance that must be considered.
1. If the sensor is to be clamped or tied down at a fixed location, the sensor must be where there
is no velocity flow. The WATERLOG® H-310 is a pressure sensor and changes in flow correlate to changes in pressure. Thus, if the sensor is subjected to open flow, there is a good chance your readings will be inconsistent. Key point: Use stilling wells, sand points, or other "no flow" installation techniques. The result will be very accurate, reliable data.
2. The H-310 can be hung in well bores and float type stilling wells or conduits. If this is the type of installation that is being done, the H-310 should be installed by suspending the sensor not by its polyethylene vent cable, but by using a stainless steel drop cable and by using a weighted ballast or sinker, such as the one that has been provided. The ballast will cause the sensor to sink to the desired depth and will help the sensor to hang straight down. The stainless cable and the miscellaneous hardware can be purchased from Design Analysis Associates, or from a number of other sources.

The polyethylene vent cable has an extremely large thermal coefficient of expansion. This coupled with the fact that the polyethylene tubing will stretch with applied weight, make the use of the stainless steel drop cable a must. Use of the stainless steel drop cable will insure long
term stability. THIS IS A MUST!!!
One end of the stainless steel tube is attached to the support bail on the sensor and the other end is fastened to a fixed reference point at the surface. The ballast is attached to the ballast hook of the sensor, as shown in Figure 2-1.
H-310 Installation 2-1
Figure 2-1
3. The H-305 dry air system should be placed in an easily accessible spot. This allows the user to maintain the desiccant, and if needs be, the wiring inside the junction box.
The H-305 dry air system is designed to protect the sensor from moisture accumulation. The desiccant inside the dry air system should be checked every 3 to 6 months. The desiccant bags have a transparent strip which allows the condition of the desiccant to be visually checked. Dry desiccant is dark blue and saturated desiccant will have turned pink. The desiccant packs can be reused by drying them in an oven at 125F to 150F for 4 to 8 hours or until the desiccant returns to a dark blue color.
