Field Installation

Deploy the Tube

Deploy your In-Situ Inc. Instrument as described in the Owner's Manual.

If you are deploying the Tube inside a well casing using the In-Situ Inc. bail, follow the
instructions included with the bail.

If you are deploying the Tube inside a well casing using a different method, use a
suspension method rated for the weight of the entire system. The Tube weighs 1730 g
(3.81 lbs). You must account for the weight of your cable and instrument as well.

Improving Signal Quality

Cellular signal depends on several factors, including coverage area, antenna type, and
objects in the area that may cause interference.
