CS450/CS455 Pressure Transducer
For example, if the correct elevation of the water, as measured by a staff gauge
or other measurement device, is 2015.50 feet, and the CS450 provides a
reading of 5.76 psig, then:
5.76 psig * 2.31 ft/psig = 13.3056 ft.
So, the offset is calculated:
2015.50 ft – 13.3056 ft = 2002.1944 ft
This offset can be accounted for in the program instruction of the SDI-12
recorder.
5. Wiring
5.1 SDI-12
It is recommended to power down your system before wiring the
CS450/CS455. The shield wire plays an important role in noise emissions and
susceptibility as well as transient protection.
